Maybe it’s just me, but Olympic speed walking looks like a bunch people frantically running to the bathroom. Seems like I remember a few times I would have placed for gold.

In the words of John Prine: "The scientific nature of the ordinary man is to go out and do the best you can." @GarrisonDGriff models this as a friend, father, son, husband & churchman. Grateful for the man on this day of celebration. Happy 30th!

"... we've been socialized to believe that individual fulfillment & personal relationship with God are more important than any connection we might have with our fellow human beings, whether home or church. We've, in a most subtle & insidious way, been conformed to this world."
