God Gave Us Easter (book review)

"God Gave Us Easter" appears to be a story about the true meaning of Easter, but I feel that it doesn't focus much on the crucifixion/resurrection story. It briefly compares Easter eggs to the empty tomb, but then goes on to talk about Noah's ark and listening to God. The story seems a little hard to follow, and it's not as good as Ms. Bergren's other books.

3 miles

I set out for a run today with the plan to run 2.75 miles. It was supposed to be Week 8, Day 3 of "Couch to 5k". At 2.75 miles, I was feeling great and decided to keep going. I ran 3 miles. That's my longest run since sometime during my pregnancy. I had Caleb 13 weeks ago, and I'm thrilled to be running 3 miles this quickly after having him!

The OKC Memorial Marathon is only 14 weeks away, and I'm registered to run the half marathon. I plan to finish "Couch to 5k" this week and then start my training. I will post soon about the training plan that I will be following.

God is More Than Enough (book review)

*God is More Than Enough* by Tony Evans is a 'verse by verse' examination of Psalm 23. This familiar chapter is one that so many can quote or paraphrases without much though, but this book takes the reader on an in-depth study of the truths found in each verse. Whether you find yourself currently in "green pastures" or the "valley of the shadow of death", this is an excellent book to remind one of God's power and grace.
