Visions of Speed II, with a Nod to the Book of James
I am shocked some times about how cyclical and regularly patterned my life is. Almost like clockwork it seems, at different points in the year, I get interested in very specific things or my body reacts in specific ways, whether it is becoming low for physiological reasons or wanting to get active. Sprintime for me encompasses both of these elements; the lowness can be profound (oddly after the darkness of Winter is over and not during), the desire to get active can be intense. Perhaps they are sides of the same coin.
Last year, I posted Visions of Speed, which chronicled my desire to crank it up. And then the year turned out to be a bust fitness-wise as I was sick for a long while in August. Well, I want the same things this year, to use the long summer days to run and bike and play, however, this year I will add a heart-felt, "Lord willing" to all of those desires, as well as prayers of thankfulness, which I should offer whether I am healthy or no, but which I am much happier to offer in soundness of body.
Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. -James 4:13-16
