We ran the half-marathon and it was freaking awesome.


Christine, Luke, Christine's fam, Meghan and I dressed up in costume to run the Chicago Monster Half-Marathon on Halloween morning. 13.1 miles baby!!! It was so much fun. Five days later and my knees are still enjoying shouting their existence to me all the day long... but it was so worth it. :-)


Go Luke and Christine go!

And I'm off...

The proud husband after the race! These are my dear friends Meghan and Josh. Meghan can run 13 miles and still look this gorgeous. It's kind of unfair. (And then she graciously hosted 10 of us that night in her apartment for small group!!! I love that girl.)

The costumes were fun, but the weeks of training, the day itself and the people were definitely the most "Incredible" part (hahaha... our costumes... get it?).


I love my girls! Here we are, excited and ready to run at 6:30 in the morning.

Human Needs Global Resources Covenant, 2009

As fellow travelers on this journey, we commit to this covenant before God. Lord, in Your mercy, hear these our prayers:

When confronted with scarcity, need, and inadequacy, may we be nourished by the Bread of Life and the Cup of Salvation. Abundance overflows from Your table, sustaining all who come in faith. Father, help us.

When monotony blurs our vision and dulls our senses, may we encounter others as Christ did, through intentional presence in daily life, submitting as clay to be formed into vessels filled with the Spirit. Christ, guide us.

When wounded by the fractured condition of Your people, may we be united by Your Lordship in faith, hope, and love; seeing, as through the facets of a diamond, the beautiful spectrum of Your light reflected onto Your holy Church joined in praise. Spirit, empower us.

When all Creation groans, afflicted by injustice and driven to despair, may the promise of redemption root us in the hope of Your Kingdom: "Behold, I am making all things new!"

Holy Trinity, send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve You with gladness and singleness of heart.

Amen.
