We have been in a series called “In the House” at our church (The Life Church of Memphis). Each weekend has focused on one area that we feel we are graced as a church to make a difference for the kingdom. We showed this video and spoke about how we are graced for Outreach…serving those in our community. We shared the great verse from Isaiah 6:8 - Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”.

So the past couple of years I have been running more than I have in a long time. I have run many 5ks, 10ks, a couple of half-marathons and even the beast itself, the full marathon. Yes, the 26.2 miles of pain. Recently I read a book called Born to Run by Christopher McDougall.
It has intrigued me about this idea of barefoot running. Our natural running gate is best seen when we run without the thick soles on your average running shoe. When I trained for my marathons I had a lot of IT problems. This is a cause of striking with your heel first instead of your mid sole….so the critics say. A friend of mine has been running with these weird shoes called Vibram Fivefingers mentioned in the book Born to Run. He lent me an old pair and I took a stab at running in them. I ran 4 miles and I must admit it was awesome. I think I may be purchasing a pair of these soon. I’ll keep you posted. Below is a cool deal I found on barefoot running.
Amanda and Eli at the beach in Fort Lauderdale. We got to spend a couple of days with the One Hope guys. Those guys are awesome.
