Lots of Walking

I know death isn't the answer, but sometimes it FEELS like it's the only way out. I am committed to not pursue that line of thinking but the temptation still comes. I'm also committed to honesty, openness and transparency and so I admit the bad as well as the good. And I know I need as many people praying for me as possible because there's no way I can do what I shoud and WANT to do without God responding to and answering those prayers. So thank you for praying.

Today has been good. Fourth Son's girlfriend is here from Vancouver so I told them they could have the car for the day if they drove me to church in the morning. I would walk everywhere I had to go. And so, after church, I walked an hour and three-quarters to the women's study in the afternoon, stopping along the way for lunch, and then I walked home after the study, another hour and a half, for a total of three and a quarter hours of walking.

My pedometer seemed to working well yesterday when I went walking but although I walked an hour more today, it recorded the same distance, which doesnt' make sense so I'm kind of frustrated with it. My boys suggest that perhaps I'm such a graceful walker that the pedometer doesn't register all my steps. I doubt THAT'S true but the thought is flattering.

Anyway, all the walking really helps me because I spend the time memorizing Scripture (Matthew 16 today) and so my mind is kept on things of God instead of other things.
