April 30 was my 3,000th day in a row of running at least 1 mile per day. It has an amazing ride so far and I have no intentions of giving up now on the streak.
Small things really do matter. Do them long effort and with enough great effort, little things can make a HUGE impact on your life.

Part of the Chaplain Corps team has been activated to support the State's COVID-19 response (this does not include me because I am on Federal orders serving a Federal mission).
Those Airmen stopped by the 181st recently. It was great to hear their stories of how they are helping build resiliency within the front line healthcare workers throughout this great state.
Air National Guard members answer to the President and to our Governor depending on the need.

I had the privilege of recording a video with other members of the Resiliency Team (flight Doc and Director of Psychology Health) recently.
My part was centered around two themes: we may not feel good, but we can still do good; and what we practice grows stronger.
I suggested when we discover the power of the rituals of Faith we are doing good and we are practicing things that we want to grow stronger within us (peace, joy, self-control, generosity, etc.) as opposed to hurt, resentment, anger, etc.
I have a hard time keeping them straight, but I think this video will either win an Emmy or an Oscar...stay tuned!!

One of the most enriching spiritual disciplines I am doing right now is working through this outstanding study:

Brian McLaren is one of the best contemporary theologians I am aware of.
Good, good stuff...

I worshiped backwards today! The EUM worship leaders were in the "back" of the sanctuary so that those of us worshiping could see the outstanding stained glass windows behind them.
The first say be last...the back will be the front!

National Public Radio. My mainstay primary source of what is going on in the world. I would be lost without NPR. It is a national treasure.
AND Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me is a regular boost to my immune system with all the guaranteed laughs week after week.

Great conversations! Easy to take such things for granted. It seems like we are loosing the art of sustained talking and deep listening.
