God bless you for trying!: January 2011
http://blessyoufortrying.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
God bless you for trying! I haven't run in several weeks, and I can't stand it! If you don't love to run, you won't understand, but there are some days when I want nothing more than to be outside running. That's why it's tough to go to the window and see nothing but snow and ice out there. That's winter in Minnesota, though, so I guess I have to deal with it. I just smiled and said, "I don't step on rocks." :). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I serve as a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America ...

God bless you for trying!: February 2010

God bless you for trying! Well, I finally received my Vibram Five Fingers shoes several days ago. Here's what they look like:. Less than 100 days! Basically, I figured that I'm going to be training indoors at first, and these seemed to be a good compromise between cold and warm weather. Also, there was some question about the availability of the other more insulated kind, so my mind was sort of made up for me. I'll post more about them when they arrive. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

God bless you for trying! Wow, a lot has happened since I posted something on here. I guess the most pertinent event for the general content of my blog is that I successfully completed the Fargo half marathon in May. I hoped to finish in around 2 hours. My official time was 2:11:51. I went out a little fast (surprise) and basically survived the last 4 or 5 miles. I thought I knew what sore legs felt like! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

God bless you for trying!: September 2011
http://blessyoufortrying.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
God bless you for trying! Why Can't I Just Be? Sometimes living feels like a lot of work, doesn't it? It's the very peculiarity of this desire for meaning that makes me keep pursuing it, though. Being human, or at least being Bryant, seems to mean being a creature that seeks to make meaning out its existence. We are all little hermeneutical creatures, constantly trying to figure out what everything means, whether we do it consciously or not. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

God bless you for trying! Runnin Reformers are undefeated! Then the ball was inbounded to me, and I was fouled almost immediately. So I had the chance to seal the game with a couple of free throws. I made the first one, but got called for a lane violation (which was a good call I guess). So I was really upset with myself for being so dumb. And so it begins. And anyway, because my wife would be concerned if I didn't say it.I'm just going to try not to get hurt. I'm usually not one for regrets in life, but...

God bless you for trying! Footprints in the Snow. I don't have much more to add right now, oddly enough. No profound revelations or deep thoughts. I'm just happy to do something I love again.

God bless you for trying!: Communicatio idiomatum
http://blessyoufortrying.blogspot.com/2011/10/communicatio-idiomatum.html
God bless you for trying! What do you think the church is? Can you understand any of what we're talking about? Do you think any of it matters? I really think I would have learned more from that conversation than I did from parts of the conference itself (as great as it was). They're so much smarter than me! They must be having great conversations! The truth is, we're not, and we're not. (Ok, that's too harsh, but you get my point about putting pastors on a pedestal, right? 19 October, 2011 15:56.

God bless you for trying! I'm officially registered for the Half Marathon in Fargo on May 22, 2010! Now all I have to do is figure out how I'm going to run 13.1 miles in basically what amount to rubber foot gloves.ah, details! Isaiah 52:7 Maybe prayerfully getting my feet in shape can be another way to think about preparing myself for the daily tasks of ministry. I wonder where my feet will take me to share the good news today? Why I love rural ministry. Would have been embarassing! After running 8 miles...

God bless you for trying!: A word on division in the church
http://blessyoufortrying.blogspot.com/2011/10/word-on-division-in-church.html
God bless you for trying! A word on division in the church. What more do we need to unite us than the body and blood of Christ? I cannot tell you how sad it is to me that we are robbing ourselves of the chance to provide this witness to the world by deciding that these sideline issues are more powerful than the uniting power of Christ’s own body and blood.

God bless you for trying! Back Issues, New Opportunities. Ugh, I've been neglecting you, blog, and I'm sorry. And I've been neglecting you for the same reason this time that I neglected you before. It's not you, it's me. It's because I've been hurt again, so I've been doing my usual thing when I run up against adversity: I get kind of insulated and isolated and basically hide out for a while. What can I say? You'll find pictures and details of how it all comes along. Who knows? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
