Moleskins: Flip flopped with moleskin i meant to do Monday … had conversation with my son while run hiking in PA on the appalachian trail. Talking about marathon running and fueling and how if you don’t fuel during the race eventually you hit the wall real hard late in the race, so it ends up being ideal to intake regular amounts of fuel along the way. I kind of see church attendance the same way as a regular intake of fuel that can help me go the long haul in my walk with God. On the flip side, you wouldn’t want to be fueling and not using it, so let’s use the rest of the week to “run hard for God” and interact like a Christian and be a light to others and our families.
The other moleskin was about Leigh Nash, lead singer of Sixpence None the Richer, so come to Ground Zero monday to hear more.
