Thank you, God, that’s its Friday… and I can have the chance to enjoy a beautiful weekend! It’s beautiful up on the mountain right now. The sun is starting to set, and all the trees are that bright orangish/yellow color. You know what I mean? It’s amazing. I went for a run a little while ago, after my New Testament class got out (actually, I cleaned our room and bathroom … THEN went for a run. But who’s counting?).

It was so refreshing. I usually don’t like to run. I have never really had very good knees, so if I run a lot they start to ache and are kind of painful. But it was amazing today… I went on the loop that I usually run on – down past the gym, past Scotland Yard, and down the trail that runs behind the apartments. The trail runs through the woods for a while, and then comes out to an opening and one of the many bluffs on Lookout Mountain. I stopped for a breather and just stood on the edge of the cliff overlooking one of Tennessee’s many valleys. I love that place… then I picked up the trail again into the woods. It ran around for a while, and then came up alongside Jackson Pond (now you know why I love that loop so much). Click to continue »
