God's Presence

If my path be smooth or rugged, If with thorns or roses strewn. Where I go the Father seetih, And He will leave me not alone.

If I take the wings of morning far within the giant sea, Even there His hand will lead me, Even there my God will be.

Though the gloom of night be round me, Though I cannot see my way, Yet the Lord will see and guide me, Because unto Him the night is day.

If my thoughts are good or evil, Set me think to hide them not. There is One above all seeing, and He beholdeth every thought.

And ever more my eyes beholds me, And all my ways to Him are known, And His loving arms enfolds me, He will leave me not alone.

Traversing the Mountains...

I am heading out to California tomorrow for a 50 mile run through the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Although it sounds like a daunting task, it should be a blast as I am hooking up with some fellow runners from my ultra-running team (Team INKnBURN). I will be dawned in my new apparel in which I received from Aquaphor as I proudly promote my sponsorJ. This Course appears to be moderately difficult with almost 9,000 feet of elevation gain, but the trail will be dry and have relatively good footing. I am excited to return to Cali for the first time in 17 years, especially because I will be running through some breath taking country side, fire roads, and mountains. This is one of the many reasons I truly enjoy trail running and would encourage every one of you to find the trail nearest you. It does not have to be extremely difficult one, but just running through nature itself will make it that much more of a wonderful experience. I will give you all updates upon my return & I have scores of pics I need to post sometime next week.
