I took this survey once and it asked, "what's on your mouse pad?" and i couldn't answer because i didn't have one. but now i do, and i wanted to tell everyone. my mousepad has a sweet wrinkly dog asleep on a beach chair, and in a thought bubble above his head it says..."do not disturb, Genius at work."

so that's what it says.

it's now 11:26 p.m. and i'm exauhsted because i went on this grueling bike ride with Lanlle. i Honestly felt like quitting. but isn't it funny how God has desined the mind to push you to the limit. my body screamed to stop and rest, for only a moment, but my mind kept saying...keep going, every second is closer to the goal. give it your all. so tell me what spiritual stuff i can get out of that? i don't want to tell you because i don't know, but i know God can teach us something from it...

now what is it?

hopefully you can tell me. but while your thinking i'm going to sleep on it.

Carina, I am SO SORRY it was grueling! If I hadn't been paranoid about the gates, we could have been more relaxed...

But you have a good point here. We had a goal, a very real one, with two potential outcomes. We chose to push to the finish rather than meandering in hope that we wouldn't suffer consequences of our slowness. We were successful, the gate was still open. We have no way of knowing if we just got under the wire on that one, or if they never close the gate... no matter, we chose to push, we were successful, even though it was hard. hmm.

It was a lot of fun and I am glad you were willing! Next time we will go earlier...
