Unintentional Image Of Me

Untitled-1

Walking along with my canon sd960 I unintentionally pressed the button and snap. You can cover a lot of ground before your body loses the ability to contain the spirit. Not many folks I know walk more without shoes than with. I am gonna keep trying to walk more without.

I know that most of the the ways I behave cause most around to decide I am of no use. It is true I really do not spend time trying to be what others would like me to be. None of us know who we are. How many times have people asked you what you want to be. God knows who we are. Jesus say He seeks those who worship in spirit and in truth. What you see is not what you get. What you see is what will soon be gone. Do you ever see the everlasting in people?

Garden Update Late November 2011

Winter Garden late November

The Florida “Winter” garden is starting to yield and foremost on my mind is getting prepared for and freezing that might occur during the next two months. I need to buy some frost cloth and keep it in reserve. The cucumbers and greens are growing well.

I will be harvesting some of the burp less cucumbers in the next two weeks. Once they start to develop they grow at an amazing rate.

I have been brewing and applying compost tea the last two weeks. I think it is helping to get the plants blooming but I am not sure. I just take a shovel full of the compost form my pile and bubble it in water with some honey or syrup.

The bees still seem healthy but they have not made much progress in the last two weeks. Maybe the cooler weather has limited their resources.

Greg Goebel’s 11-11-11 Marathon

11-11-11 Marathon Sarasota Florida.

          A friend of mine who owns Marathon Medals recently put me in contact with the gentleman in the image to the left who was in need of Photos. Mr. Greg Goebel was directing a marathon with the help of his Sarasota Road Runners Club.

          I had no idea what I was in for but it turned out to be a great adventure. I met so many good citizens at the 11-11-11 Marathon and was privileged to be a part of their fellowship for the day!

Thursday evening was spent picking up packets with bibs and tracking chip while enjoying a delicious meal at the Sarasota Yacht Club.

The Friday of the run was blessed with spectacular weather and everyone was very enthusiastic. Each runner had almost 58 laps ahead of them to complete their 26.2 miles. A full moon hung over Whitaker Gateway Park that morning as we arrived at 5:45am

There were plenty of colorful characters running. Many of them were members of the Marathon Maniacs and the 50 states marathon club. One stand out was John Pyle who is doing The Patriot Run Across America.

Yep lots of character! The female champion was Lisa Barry Walbridge, 40, of Haslingfield, England, who finished in a time of 3:30:30, shortly before 11:11:11 am, then immediately married the third place finisher, Jared Walbridge in a ceremony on the course.

I am pretty sure they chose to wed at the run so they could have Dave Mari in their wedding photos. I sure did have a great time and everyone was very kind. Thank you all you have a wonderful fellowship!
