Writings on the Wall

ah…today has been wonderful! i was awakened by the sizzle of fresh cooked bacon (and matt’s phone call) and the smell of freshly cooked blueberry pancakes!! my amazing wife woke up before me and had breakfast (my fav meal of the day) ready! whoo hooo!!! 

then i headed over to del norte to get my tennis on. mr larson i will conquer you soon - it is only a matter of time!!

then it was back to the pad - clean up and head on to san fran!!

traffic was easy - and amanda made lunch to eat in the car and it was so great. our first destination was amoeba music - where we picked up the ’she and him’ record. ok - sorry but dont buy it. we dislike it very much. actually - we have one for sale if you are interested…..ha!

now, much thanks to ry we are sippin on some amazing coffee here:

and now the best part - the reason we came into the city was to see one of our favorite artists, rosie t!!!!!!:

looking forward to a grand evening in the city….

so today has been wonderful - spring here in sac is absolutely amazing. after amanda’s run experience last week - she took me on the same run today and i gotta say it was awesome. totally killed me, but it was so great. and as a result i had my longest run ever!!! here are the stats: 

i never thought i could run for an hour. so so great! now its time to rest and let the body heal.

ps. i now know what a hip flexer is…

if you do not have plans already for April 18, i HIGHLY reccomend you do all you can to get to this very special event. dear friends of ours ryan and holly of the cobalt season are having an album release party in san fran - this is a special record in many ways - as they documented the entire recording process and will be showing the film before the show. here is the info:

jesus, teach me to recognize your hand in my daily living.

so i started reading this book this morning and it is wrecking me. and i’m only 40 pages in. Along with the fact that this is the most holistically designed book i have ever read - what lies inside is truly the heart of our God. anyone else reading this right now? if so i’d love to chat about it.here is what i am meditating on this morning:

(page 34-35) it’s hard to wrap your hands around a God who, when asked for a name, says “I AM”. But let’s not forget that this is the same king who would rather stoop to camping out in the wilderness with the refugee people than get shut up in palaces or megachurches or oval offices.

Bishop Helder Camara used to instruct his catechists, ‘Sisters and brothers, watch how you live. Your lives may be the only gospel your neighbours will ever read.’ We are all witnesses, at every moment of the day. That does not mean shouting the Creed from the rooftops. It means living in such a way that our lives would not make sense if God did not exist.

which begs the question…would your life make sense if God didnt exist?
