The Major’s Walk-A-Thon

Sky: Overcast, Windy, Drizzly
Temperature: 68°F
Relative Humidity: 92%
Winds: NW 8 MPH
Barometric Pressure: 30.03 Rising

My thoughts:

1.  At 7 AM this morning it was raining outside (just as I forecasted last night), so in lieu of walking I decided to go eating – at the Cracker Barrel. I enjoyed a MASSIVE breakfast consisting of 4 slices of french toast drowning in maple syrup, 2 scrambled eggs, 2 smoked sausages, hot coffee, and cold water. Now where did I put my Lipitor ?

2.  I got back home at 8 AM, and the rain had ended. I decided to walk the walk. It was the most unusual ‘Walk-A-Thon’ yet.

3.  My semi-basic 1.4-mile walk on a rare full stomach was done so during treacherous weather conditions – with thick dark clouds hanging low overhead, strong gusty northwesterly winds of up to 25 MPH, cold air pouring in, and even a little bit of leftover drizzle on this fresh side of the powerful cold front. I will dream of mornings like this from April through October when it’s hot and sticky outside with no wind.

4.  The ducks were out and about this morning, and they appeared to be lost, dazed, confused, and perhaps even drunk. They were stumbling about, wandering around with no sense of direction, and I saw one of them nearly tumble over in a state of mass chaos. They were wondering why the weather had suddenly changed on them. Some of them probably drank too much (rain).

5.  If my friends and acquaintances from my previous life (not capitalized) saw what I was doing today – walking, talking, laughing, and loving Life (capitalized) then they would think that I am not that same person that I was in my teens, 20s, and 30s. That plastic mannequin withered and rotted away. He died. I was reborn during the Summer Of 2006. I have a whole bunch of new friends now that are walking with me as we follow our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. These are my 40s, and everything I do I do it for God. AMEN !

Bedtime Stories

It could be a dark and stormy night late tonight as a powerful cold front slams into South Florida. Be prepared for loud thunder and vivid lightning after about 1 AM here in Homestead. Weather-permitting ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’ will proceed as scheduled tomorrow morning; however, if showers linger on through the morning hours then I will stay dry inside the comfort of my home. We’ll see how it all works out in the morning.

Believe it or not there are races going on this weekend at the Homestead-Miami Speedway. You can catch Ferraris racing around the track on both Saturday and Sunday from 8 AM to 5 PM. Read all about it here, or here.

Well that’s what I’ve got tonight for your ‘Bedtime Stories’. Be sure to catch the blog again tomorrow (Saturday). I’ll be here. I hope that you are too.

Until then remember this:

It’s a honey of an O. It’s Honey Nut Cheerios !

Phil is Travis’s younger brother, and a talented musician of Life Pointe’s ‘Praise & Worship’ band.

Alex experienced a ‘Rude Awakening’.
Alex is Jesse’s younger brother, a talented musician of Life Pointe’s ‘Praise & Worship’ band, and a youth leader for Grades 6 to 12.

Nathan is the Lead Pastor of InDependence Church in Weston Florida.

Harmony presented her Honey Chicken Salad recipe to the entire world, and I instantly got hungry.

Bedtime Stories

What a wonderful day it was today. I missed being with my co-workers at work, but the knowledge I attained, the experience I endured, and the fellowship I enjoyed with a bunch of my Life Pointe Church family members was all worth it. Thank You Jesus for continuously amazing me with these life-changing opportunities !

Are you ready to chill out South Florida ?  Get ready for a blast of cold air to invade our subtropical environment and temporarily halt the 85° temperatures that we’ve been enjoying for most of this past week. Temperatures will begin to take a hard tumble during the day on Saturday. It’ll start out warm and muggy in the morning, but then as the day progresses we’ll be dropping down into the 60s with wind chills into the 50s. Sunday morning we could experience temperatures in and around Homestead in the lower-50s with wind chills into the lower-40s !  Bundle up as you head to Life Pointe Church on Sunday !  We will struggle to hit the 70°F mark on Sunday afternoon despite wall-to-wall sunshine galore !

That’s ‘Bedtime Stories’ for this Thursday night. I’m going back to work tomorrow (Friday), but I’ll be back on the blog during the afternoon. I’ve got a special expanded ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ for you tomorrow night, so be sure to check it out !

Until then remember this:
