Walt Disney World Marathon 2010

There are times in our lives when God is very good to us.  This is one of those times.  All of you may know by now but just in case you didn’t I have a position with Life Technologies (Invitrogen).  This is great great news.  Even better because of the start date, my boss is [...]

A Mickey Mouse Umbrella World

My good friends Stan and Diane wrote on their facebook page “[we] think you’ll never do anything if you wait for a good forecast.”  I know that they were really just talking about the weather recently but it really struck a cord with me.  It made me think of Exodus when the spies were sent [...]

Thankful for spam blocker

So I guess Word press is getting slammed with spam, at least my blog has been recently.  Lots of advertisements for nude pics of people.  But that is why we put these filters on our accounts.  I am not sure what the spammer gets in return for all of this.  There must be some sort [...]

missed by that much…

I haven’t had to much to say over the last couple of days.  I ran another three miles this morning while my gel ran.  It wasn’t an inspired run, just worked my way through it.  That’s a total of 10 miles this week, largest milage in a week since last summer.  Definately need new shoes.  [...]

Water

I wanted to write today and ask all of my readers to do something.  I know all five of you.  It is about water.  As many of you know I have a facebook account and through it I joined a group called Water.  I did this for a very specific reason.  Water is the one [...]

why I left the Signal Corps

I loved being in the army.  Loved it.  I loved the non-commissioned officers, the privates and even some of the field grade officers.  I found an amazing amount of joy in PT, field exercises, going to the range, all of it.  But I hated, and I mean hated my job in the Signal Corps.  Networks.  [...]

Twitter and other things that confuse me about blogging…

I love my blog and I am relatively smart when it comes to computers.  However, twitter is confusing to me.  Not the concept of it just somethings that are confusing.  For example, Steve Runner tweets.  So does Brian.  And when they do, not only does there web page update, but Steve’s Facebook does as well.  [...]

First Mile of the year and the 1958 UB Bulls

I missed working out yesterday thanks to some gastrointestinal difficulties, so today I ran my Thursday mile.  This week is suppose to be 6 miles total.  1 on Sunday, 2 for Tuesday, 1 on Thursday and 2 on Saturday.   I ran 3.1 on Monday because I knew I wouldn’t get to run on Tuesday and [...]

MMVIII

Sure it wasn’t a great year.  But lets not pretend that nothing good came out of it.  Some awesome and bad things happened as is the case in all years.  So this is it, the year 2008 according to Paul.
 
January saw the fifteenth running of the Walt Disney World Marathon.  I completed the race in [...]

Uncomfortable

Yesterday at church, Pastor Dan Trippie visiting from Restoration Church gave the sermon.  He talked mainly about getting out of your comfort zone.  I have heard this sermon theme many times.  It is usually very inspiring and good, as was Dan’s.  Stacey and I have been talking about getting out of our comfort zone.  We [...]
