Endurance

Just started running again. First time since High School days, aside from a run or two through the last few years. Man do I need to run more to get back to how well I could run before. Can still only do 5k; hardly. People who do endurance stuff will know this again, but it’s good to see it again in light of running for me.

The moment you think about how much longer, how tired you are, or how hard it will be to finish running your goal, it’ll become even harder. You have to focus on the goal and can’t think about the difficulty. Even when I am physically able to run more, it is my mind that stops me from doing it.

RS 235 Jesus Life and Legacy

So this term I’m taking an RS course about Jesus’ life in the gospels.   A few days ago, I had an assignment that I had to do.  Basically, we had to compare three accounts of the same event (Matthew 12:22-32//Mark 3:20-30//Luke 11:14-23).

I’ve gone over and looked at overviews of the gospels in the past, but I don’t think I’ve really spent this much time look, comparing and explaining the differences between the authors, their purpose/theme of writing, their style and how it all affected the way they explained and wrote down an event in the gospels.  It’s just great that we have four different accounts of Jesus’ life and teachings which all emphasize different themes.

I was actually supposed to read the gospels in one sitting too (one at a time, not all four at once haha), but I haven’t yet.  =P

Anyways, I’m liking the course so far, though the lectures are a bit of a pain to go through haha; a little slow.
