So I started this "prayer run" idea thinking that I'd be running with purpose. However, I discovered that the opposite was true as well... having a purpose got me to run.

Workcamp-The First Couple days!
Hello all! Things are going VERY well at Workcamp 2011 in Hurricane, WV. First thing’s first…. as you read “Hurricane” throughout the next few days… whatever you do, DO NOT read it as “HurricAne”.

Today I am thankful for family… … yes, for my wonderful parents, sister, brother (in-law), niece, grandmas, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. But also for some other family… … for some “brothers” and “sisters” just checking in to see what’s up and lifting me in prayer … for a family of co-workers laughing and praying… Continue reading Thank You God for Family
