A Runner’s Thoughts: I have two thoughts for you today… Remember that if we are meditative movers through life, if we are movers at prayer then as we live each day we will be fortunate to have find ways to refreshes not only our bodies but also our spirits. You might say with the living of each day we give ourselves the chance to be born again in friendship with God! (Adapted from Roger Joslin – Running the Spiritual Path) – “You only ever grow as a human being if you're outside your comfort zone.” (Percy Cerutty)
