The Major’s Walk-A-Thon

Sky: Mostly Sunny
Temperature: 62°F
Relative Humidity: 89%
Winds: N 5 MPH
Barometric Pressure: 30.27 Rising

My thoughts:

1.  It was another 1.8-mile walk around my neighbourhood on this cool and crisp Saturday morning. I did it in a little over 35 minutes.

2.  Nobody was outside this morning walking or jogging or walking their dog(s). I was all alone – just me, the continuous hits playing on my iPod Shuffle, and the coolest music video I’ve ever seen – the imagery and scenery all around me. This neighbourhood is beautiful. I wish I discovered it 13 years ago when I first moved here. I wasn’t living back then. Now I am alive !

3.  Constitution, Independence, Liberty, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, and Hamilton: These are the names of the 8 streets within my neighbourhood. Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin were the authors of the United States Declaration Of Independence. It was created on July 04TH 1776. The United States Constitution was created in 1787 and then ratified in 1788.

4.  During my Active Duty Air Force years I had to run a mile-and-a-half once a year within a specified period of time. I always beat the time, but I never enjoyed it. Some 20 years later I walk that same distance once a week, and I love it. I actually look forward to Saturday mornings because of the walk. It’s a physical walk that symbolizes my spiritual walk with my loving friends and family as we follow the ultimate Leader – The King Of Kings.

5.  2007 was the year that everything changed for me in my Life. I’m not re-living 2007 again. I’m making 2008 even better. It’s one thing to wake up from the darkness of night (1967-2006). It’s another thing to chase that daylight and make an impact in my Life. That’s what I’m all about for 2008. I’m ready to take the stand and be ‘Fully Engaged’.

Bedtime Stories

You know that Spring is almost here when Major League Baseball is already playing exhibition games. Our Florida Marlins played two games today as they literally split-up into two teams. One team beat the Washington Nationals 4-1 and the other team lost to the Baltimore Orioles 7-5. Yesterday the Marlins thrashed the Orioles 16-3, and the day before that they tied the Nationals 3-3.

The National Weather Service in Miami announced today that the three Winter months of December, January, and February were the warmest Winter season in 76 years – and the second warmest on record. That statistic applies only to Miami International Airport. It does not necessarily apply to Homestead because as we know our weather here can be very different than what is going on at the airport some 30 miles away. Case-in-point here in Homestead we bottomed out at 45°F and 51°F over the past two mornings. At MIA – 50°F and 56°F respectively. We were 5°F colder on both mornings.

Well those are your ‘Bedtime Stories’ for this Friday night. I’m currently watching “Amnesia” on NBC. I’ve got another long walk around my neighbourhood planned for tomorrow morning, so be sure to catch ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’ here on this blog shortly thereafter.

Until then remember this:

Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s Maybelline.

Friday Night Blogroll Review

Here’s what’s happenin’ at 5 of my favourite blogs this week:

Travis is a Continuationist. I think I am too.

Jesse is walkin’ the mean streets of Times Square in the heart of Manhattan New York New York. It’s the city so nice they named it twice !

Reina is chillin’ in Orlando.

Blue jean wearin’ motorcycle ridin’ Pastor Nathan discussed God’s Armor (Ephesians 6:10-20) at InDependence Church in Weston Florida last Sunday morning, and he had his Suzuki on display at the service along with his ridin’ gear depicting the whole armor of God. This Sunday morning he’ll be exposing an elephant in the church !

Harmony waxed Nathan’s chest, and he loved it. No pain. No gain.

Bedtime Stories

‘Bedtime Stories’ is a fresh new feature here on this blog, and it will serve as the final blog entry of the night on most nights. It essentially replaces the ‘Lipitor Moment Of The Night’ which ran for 4 successive nights through last night.

Earlier tonight I read that 1 in 99 adult Americans is currently in jail or in prison. I thought that my eyes were playing tricks on me when I first glanced at that headline. It’s unbelievable, but it’s true.

I also read that we could soon have a couple of mega-skyscrapers in downtown Miami that would soar past 1,000 feet into the air making them among the tallest in the world.

So now you know the general gist of my ‘Bedtime Stories’.

I’ll be watching “The Celebrity Apprentice” tonight on NBC at 9 PM, and then I’ll be going to bed. Be sure to check out the blog tomorrow after 4 PM for the ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’. It’s where I highlight some of my favourite blogs on my personal blogosphere.

Have a safe and peaceful Thursday night my friends, and until we blog again remember this:

You’re not fully clean until you’re Zestfully clean !
