Gone Gone Gone So Long

Well, don't say I didn't warn ya!

I've been very busy with my new co. Still pretty top secret. But soon I will talk a bit more about it.

Here are some images of what I experience on the way into work in the morning. My drive, train-ride, walk into work takes me 45 mins. It is completely stress free and envigorating!

The coach has also started me on my next training plan for a 5-Mile Kilt Run in Perth Ontario, and a 10-K Bread and Honey Run in Streetsville.  I'm also looking at a 1-Mile time trial on Canada Day in Kingston.  But it depends a lot on the logistics of getting the family to Kingston a day early which may not happen.

Here are some job listings if you want to pass them along:

Election Sprint

The election is going down to the wire ... and JibJab can't make anything funny about policies or about the characters in the election!  That is completely sad.

Holy Thursday and Good Friday and Chol Hamoed

Yesterday our pastor washed the feet of 12 in the parish.  If this isn't a sign that the Catholic Church blesses runners I don't know what is.  Today we look at Jesus last mile of the ultra he was running.  They even had to get a guy named Simon to carry his load for a while because they were afraid Jesus wouldn't make it.  I always wondered how a Jew could work during the Passover.

I'm a Christian, but my family has confirmed non-Christians in it.  Hence the Chol Hamoed title.

David a friend of mind reminds me that I am in some part a descendant of one of the tribes of Israel (on my mom's mom side).  And that during the passover there are two days (did I remember correctly?) when observant Jews could "work a little".  This time was called Chol Hamoed. So he's guessing that that's why Jesus got to work a little carrying the cross he would die on.  However I think this was always the day Jews went to the zoo (in the history of the city in Poland may family was from).  So maybe the day of crucification was the zoo?

I think I'm mixing too much religious metaphor!

Reflecting on all this, I can only think that your faith should give you a sense of meaning in all you do.  It needs to help you understand the why: in your heart, in your actions, in your life.

I wish you all peace, hope, meaning and over-flowing love!

Happy Easter and a warm and wonderful Passover!
