    USA Massive winter storm expected

    It will also depend on whether you live on a main road or a quiet road. In my area the state plows clear the state routes every couple of hours. The local roads are cleared by the township, that doesn't have the same resources or the same urgency. Sadly many people have no idea how to drive...

    USA Massive winter storm expected

    Some areas are expecting up to an inch of ice, which could cause huge problems. We're expecting a lot of snow, but light fluffy snow, so the problems of ice aren't likely to be an issue here.

    Today was a gentle run, I slowed down whenever I felt like I was getting too warm. I layered up, which is normally a problem because even when it's cold outside I tend to overheat. So I covered a few miles very slowly, walked the last mile to cool down, and ended up having to retrace my steps...

    I did a gentle run yesterday and spent much of it wishing I hadn't bothered. I knew it would be a gentle with a walk on the end so wore my old running shoes. Running into a sustained 30mph wind wasn't a lot of fun, a part of my route features a long gentle uphill stretch, and adding a relentless...

    ICE?

    It's hard to know what's really happening since so much of what passes as news seems to be more about inciting outrage than reporting anything useful. When the police are seeking a criminal it's not only possible but likely they will investigate people who later prove to be innocent. This is...

    I have a pair of Keen hiking shoes. In the shop they were the most comfortable of all the pairs I tried but out on the trails they aren't as comfortable as my last pair. The tops seem to gape as I walk, so by the time I get home I've got loads of bits of leaf and grass and stuff in there. I end...

    I finally remembered to get a new pair of running shoes. The old pair has just shy of 500 miles on them and I can feel the difference. I wanted a direct replacement but the store didn't have them in my size. I could have ordered them but decided to pay a little extra for a slightly higher range...

    Moving for retirement?

    I'm happy where I am now. It's a big old barn of a house that I'm fixing up, it has far more space than we need, but it has been in my wife's family for over 100 years and we hope to live out our days in it and pass it on to our daughter, who absolutely adores it.

    Watered down weak sermons

    Sad but true. A lot of what passes for "worship music" these days is very repetitive, theologically thin (and sometimes empty or outright toxic), and frequently focuses on us rather than on God.

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    That's not even remotely close to what I'm saying. I honestly have no idea how you could possibly conclude that from what I said but I guess here we are. John 3:16 says "whoever believes in him shall not perish", implying that those who do not believe shall perish. In other words, if we believe...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Ghost asked for verses that indicated that salvation is guaranteed by the death of Christ alone. Your response of John 3:16 doesn't fit the bill because it stipulates that "all who believe in Him" will not perish. If those who do not believe will perish then the death of Christ alone is not...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    I''m not sure your verse here counters Ghost's claim. The fact that "...whoever believes in Him..." implies that those who do not believe will perish and will not have everlasting life. If we're talking about belief systems other than Christianity, other options include reincarnation until we...

    Last month my watch's software had a challenge to run a 15k. The challenge was finding a day that would be warm enough and dry enough to make it something other than an exercise in mind over matter. This month I don't have that challenge, but I have a 10k challenge that's only valid next...

    I got a run in today. It was supposed to be cold so I was planning a walk. My next door neighbor said I could have some of a tree branch that fell on his property, so I went to cut and collect that, and figured it wasn't as cold as I expected. So I went for a run instead. I walked the last mile...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I figured out how to move radiators around. I found a couple of wheeled platforms from Harbor Freight that were reduced as a special for Inside Track club members. They are designed for moving cars, and a pair of them are rated at 1500lb (I forget if that's 1500lb per platform or per pair, it...

    Icy wind in the face isn't a lot of fun, I've come home a few times with ice crystals in my beard. But I don't want to get out of the habit of walking so I'll go out in it regardless. The last couple of days I've worn long pants because the wind has whipped ice crystals and cinders from the road...

    I've wanted to run the last few days but it's been brutally cold and windy, so I've worn some extra layers and walked instead.
