It is amazing how great I feel after a run. I am very proud of myself today because I was able to run back up the really big hill I sometimes run down on my runs. The other day I was able to run half way up but then had to walk to the top but today I made it the whole way. I was able to run a total of 30 minutes today which has been my goal. I was also able to push out 30 push ups today. It was tough but I am sure if I keep at it for the next few weeks I should be able to work my way up to 45.  I decided that I should aim toward a goal in my exercising so that I can feel a sense of accomplishment. I decided the Navy's standard of fitness for my age group would be what I am going to aim for.  Here is the list I am working off of:

Jon got a jury duty summons in the mail today. I am so jealous! I have ALWAYS wanted to serve jury duty. I have always wanted to experience this part of our judicial system. I suppose it goes along with my interest in justice and the law. He is not going to be able to do it because it is back in TN. I am really curious what case it would have been...

I have always wondered about God and signs...most of the time the Bible says you should not test God by asking for a sign...but today in Isaiah I read where it says, "Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, "Ask the Lord your God for a sign, whether in the deepest depths or in the highest heights." But Ahaz said, "I will not ask; I will not put the Lord to the test." Isaiah 7:1-12 Then God pretty much said I am going to give you a sign even though you did not ask me for one?? I am not sure I really understand this but maybe the purpose is the condition of our hearts?? I am not sure...
