 Who knew chasing a frisbee around for hours could be a sport?

Tried out disc golf for the first time yesterday, found out it was pretty cool and that I threw a frisbee pretty badly! Here’s some info on disc golf…

Ben & Jerry’s

Filed under: Uncategorized — Holly @ 10:46 pm

 I don’t know HOW I made it a quarter of a century without ever having Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, but I sure am enjoying it now! Thank goodness it only comes in pints!

Currently enjoying: New York Super Fudge Chunk (chocolate ice cream with white and dark fudge chunks, pecans, walnuts, and fudge-covered almonds!)

The Hooper Hustle!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Holly @ 2:38 pm

So, I survived another Hooper Hustle… bringing in another 1st place plaque for the wall :D It started raining around midnight last night and didn’t stop until almost 8 this morning… made for a Very interesting race! Standing water, deep mud and slippery clay all over the place! Part of the planned loop was closed because the bridges were under at least 3 feet of moving water. I was just so proud, not only to finish, but to remain upright the entire race, quite the accomplishment, I think. :D Showered, took a little cat nap, cleaned up the bike, clothes are on their second cycle in the wash… time to get back to normal life now… the dishes are still waiting to be washed :D

The Motions

By Matthew West:

This might hurt
It’s not safe
But I know that I’ve gotta make a change
I don’t care
If I break
At least I’ll be feeling something
‘Cause just ok
Is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don’t wanna go through the motions
I don’t wanna go one more day
Without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don’t wanna spend my whole life asking
What if I had given everything?
Instead of going through the motions

No regrets
Not this time
I’m gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love
Make me whole
I think I’m finally feeling something

Take me all the way
Take me all the way
Take me all the way

I know I’m getting old… I’m feeling the reality  of the incredible fragility and briefness of our lives here on this rock more and more. (as Darrin would say, “Life is like a vapor” hehe) The chorus of that song grabbed me when I heard it. I want to live my life to the fullest, but not for myself. I want my life to be worth something eternal, I want to actually accomplish the purpose I was created for. I want my life to be a reflection of my life in Christ.
