I'm considering starting a barrel fire in my house to stay warm, if you have flammable things that you don't care about, let me know

It's the home stretch in January, February will be here shortly and she's a cold witch too.  I ran the MLK 5k Saturday morning and my second fastest 5k time ever - I was ready to finish and kept up a 7:15 pace somehow.  Allison ran the race as well and frostbite took hold of her hands....she appeared to be crying as she finished.  


I signed up for a 24 hour run in Bluffton in February.  I am excited but also afraid it will be frigid.  I don't know how I will hold up being outdoors all night.  I hope to run 50 miles, but I have no set goal.  I'm just going to run until I can't stand up or remember my name. 


Working through 2 Corinthians.  Very close to finishing and Ephesians is next.  I'm trying to devote more time to scripture, I love it once I get into it but have a hard time reading daily.  It's not just the bible, it's reading period.  I am working through it, it's getting better as I cutting back on other things that hog my time - TV and Netflix.  I am considering dropping cable.  If it wasn't for sports, I would have done so a long time ago.  But, without cable, I would be forced to spend time with others for big games, which would be a positive in my book.  I am still unsure.


I am so thankful for the start of this year and God doing work in so many places.  I'm thankful for Midtown church and the relationships that have started there.  I'm thankful for the unlimited grace that flows from the cross and pours like a river over me.  I fail daily and it's because of the freedom that Christ has granted us that allows me to push forward.  I'm so thankful for the Godly men that I get to be around that have made an impression on my heart.  I'm thankful for the Godly women and the plutonic relationships that are pure and innocent, not cursed by society's distorted view on sex.  I'm thankful that there is a different way, I'm thankful for HIM.
