home continues to be wonderful, as things beyond home continue to be unnecessarily complicated. i don’t really know what to do about the complications, other than to try not to let them stress me out. they are really not my issues anyway; i’m just subjected to them. on to better things.
went to church this morning with mom and katie. i know i am a tad biased, but i think covenant does music better than any other church i’ve been to. the sermon always seems to long, as i wait impatiently for them to get back to the music. the other thing i always remember is how beautiful the place is, a point driven home twice as hard today as it was the 50th anniversary of covenant’s first services in the current sanctuary, and as i thought about katie’s wedding. june 25, 2005. she’s having it there, of course. it’s such a dramatic, soaring, majestic building.
spent the afternoon getting the necessary materials for my t-shirt quilt, so hopefully i’ll start on that tomorrow. watched tech beat st. john’s. went for another 5k run, three laps around the “long block.” i ran it 2 minutes faster than two nights ago, which made me happy. it was about 10 degrees warmer this afternoon when i ran than it was the other night, which is probably a big factor in the time decrease. today i did about 10:10 miles, which pleases me greatly considering the amount of hills in each long block loop. it’s pretty much constantly up and down, with few flat spots. i run two loops counterclockwise, and one clockwise, to take full advantage of the hill workout i’m getting, since i certainly can’t match it in flat houston.
