This is the second blog in a series of three on running and marriage. The last race we ran was a New Year's Ultra Marathon. It started Dec 31 at 8:00 pm, and ended 8:00 am the next day. So what were we thinking? When we signed up for it, it sounded adventurous, fun and a little crazy, which is just our flavor.

I find myself not only reflecting on the New Year that is only 6 hours away, but also on the 50 miles that I’m about to start running in 4 hours. The words of my boss, and mentor, swirl through my head, “you are crazy!?” So how did I sign up for a 50 mile race to celebrate the New Year? I’m not a natural runner. I didn’t run in High School or college. No one in my family is a runner. I was in the military for 4 years, but never ran more than 6 miles at a time. One time I tried to run 8 and regretted it all weekend while I sat in the ice bath!

Where Is God Going? Seven Spiritual Trends of the Decade Tuesday, 29 December 2009 12:21 PM EST J. Lee Grady Newsletters - Fire In My Bones
The last 10 years weren't just about terrorism and recession. Amid the storm clouds, God was working in profound ways. We didn't know what to call it—was it the '00s?—yet we've just passed through quite a decade. We had natural disasters (the 2004 Asian tsunami, Hurricane Katrina in 2005), financial meltdowns (bank failures and 10 percent unemployment) and global conflict (9/11 and the war on terror). It brought doom and gloom on one hand and technological breakthroughs on the other. What a ride it has been.

Michael and I are doing a study on the book of Joshua, trying to gain some insight into what it means to be a godly leader. These are a few things that stood out to me from my first study.
The book of Joshua begins with God seeking out Joshua and giving him the command to lead the Israelites into the promised land. Moses has died and Joshua is being handed the reins. I think it is interesting to note that God comes to Joshua to give him authority over the Israelites. This is important and it is a trend you see repeated throughout the Old and New Testament. When God wants something to be accomplished He comes directly to His servant and gives him authority.

I have been meeting with a friend, Jason Amerson, lately, and we've been talking about leadership. We thought a study of Joshua, a government worker and God's man might be productive as he was able to walk successfully in two realms. We're going to open a dialogue here and begin a study of Joshua's life. You're invited to join in.
Joshua was one of only two men who experienced slavery in Egypt, wandering in the desert, and victory in the promised land. Somehow he survived.
