Having Choices And Choosing To Run

ByTim Nolte

Every day most of us, in the U.S. especially, have a dozen choices we can make. I had the choice to either get up at 4:30 am and run or stay in bed and sleep. Not to minimize those that do have some tough decisions to make, but in the big picture most of us have pretty easy decisions, compared to those in Sierra Leone.

When my kids get home from school they have a dozen options they can choose from with how to spend their time. Children in Sierra Leone are among the poorest in the world. The hardship of daily life for these children doesn’t give them many choices for how they spend their time, for most they have no choice but to help their family survive. Access to clean water expands the choices these children have and provides future opportunities they might not have otherwise had.

    It’s still a little bit to get used to doing these longer “midweek” runs on a Monday instead of a Tuesday, but I think I’m getting into a groove with it. It’s nice to have a long “easy” run on a Monday where is can spend a lot of time listening to worship music, listening…

    Relegating To The Treadmill

    ByTim Nolte
    With my wife out of town I can’t be leaving the kids home alone, this means the treadmill it is. I think this is the first time I’ve been on the treadmill probably in the last 8-10 months. I literally can’t remember the last time I had to use it. For times like these I’m…
