How 'bout this Weather!

I love Fall. I am in a better mood just because of the temperature. Last night I read Proverbs 8. Pretty standard stuff until these verses.

20 I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice,
21 bestowing wealth on those who love me and making their treasuries full.

Following this logic, I assume the opposite is true as well. What must I be bestowing on others if I walk the paths of unrighteousness? I know people who drain my Treasury and I do not want to be that person. It is interesting that if you care to look, the scripture can confirm what you have been praying about. I have read the bible, but I not for content. I want my student to analyze literature and reflect personally about it. I guess I should take my own advice. I am enjoying my few minutes of bible time.

By the way, I did run on Tuesday. I also ran yesterday and plan to run today. There's the bell, got to run!

Monday Game Day

Only a few more games left. It is bitter-sweet because basketball will begin after football. Basketball will not be too bad until after Christmas break. This weekend was lonely but I had fun yesterday. Saturday my wife went on a road trip with our boys. I stayed with the baby. yesterday was spent at church and at home with my family. Cowboys sucked.

Last night's Proverbs reading emphasized avoiding adultery. I can honestly say that that is one area that is not a struggle (too many thats, but hey, it's a blog). I have many others areas but my wife is my life. My dad demonstrated how to love and honor a wife. I know there were challenges in their marriage but he always showed honor and respect to my mom. I thank him for that legacy.

I am going to run a mile today if it kills me. Football season takes all of my time but I will take the 15-20 minutes today. I won't be able to look my blog in the face if I don't get it done.
