Two Things

It's late and I should be sleeping. The problem is that I think of things to write when I shouldn't be writing. It is around mile 5 that I think of good blogs, or when I have my hands full of dough or when I am driving down the road. It isn't until my bedtime when I actually get to writing. Or past my bedtime. And for those that know me well, my prime time is not at bed time and I usually can't think of anything that is worth writing down.

Tonight at the Andrew Peterson concert, I realized two things.

1. I am, hands down, one of those people that reads everything on a CD sleeve. I love music and and have to make myself not buy more. I forget that not everyone is like that, and apparently Andrew Peterson's wife is not like me. This explains a lot of things from my childhood. My brother Luke would never understand why I would spend our entire ride in the car just reading the inside covers and lyrics in his CD case. He just didn't understand the joy or satisfaction that I got out of it. But Andrew Peterson does, and that makes me relieved.

2. "Storms are a reminder that we are not as great as we think we are." -Andrew Peterson
When he was telling a story about storms and tornados, the statement leapt out at me and I captured it. So many times I think I am invincible and it isn't until I am in a situation that is out of my control and I am left vulnerable, that I realize how small I am and how immense and powerful God is.

good thoughts, Em! I am glad I am not the only one who likes to think of profound thoughts while running. I wonder what thoughts I will be thinking during the 40 mile run...hmmm
