March for Life 2015: Thoughts and Regrets at the End of the Day.

I spent most of today, like every other day, ignoring the abortion problem and today I also ignored the march for life. I couldn't be bothered. then I saw the number 1,322,371,875 innocents slaughtered since the evil that is referred to as "Roe vs Wade." Abortion is the most profound evil and honestly, it shouldn't take a number of that magnitude to get and hold my attention. But like most of America I have fallen into a stupor. Today, enough is enough! America immolates its infants not to Moloch but to the American, or the Western World's, god of convenience and comfort.

Why does nobody care enough for them to put a stop to it? We are ripping human beings apart, literally limb from limb or bathing them in a chemical fire because they don't fit our "life plan", because we are "scared", Because we don't like how they were conceived or because we can't "afford" them.

You see infants in a mother's womb are silent, they are hidden from our eyes, they are defenseless. Because of all of this they are easily forgotten. Because of this it is easy to turn our eyes. Because of this it is easy to put them aside and move on about our day, about our lives. Because of this it is easy to justify and excuse. But they are humans anyway, so no excuse or justification can stand.

IT IS WRONG! Terribly Wrong! There is no way around it I have let them down and deserve their scorn and unless you are 1 of very few who have dedicated their life to stopping this atrocity you to have let them down and deserve their scorn. The ‪#‎marchforlife‬ can't be the end of it for us. It must be the beginning.

I don't know what I will do tomorrow about abortion but I know I won't ignore it. I only pray that I find the will to fight this atrocity with my whole being until it is a history that we are ashamed of.

2013 BeeBumble 10k: Race Report

This has quickly become one of my favorite races of the year and I am not alone because there was a record 575 participants across the different events this year. I like the small town atmosphere, I like the course that is an out and back on a country road, and the timing makes it a perfect tune up race for the fall season. After my performance here the last two years I am also really beginning to appreciate it for the confidence booster it is and it's ability to add a breath of fresh air to the end of the training cycle for the 2013 Indianapolis Monumental Marathon. For this race I added an early morning shake out run to get my body primed for running. This was just a short and easy 20 minute run very first thing out of bed. Nearly all of my running is first thing in the morning but I've never done it as a shakeout for a race. I liked it and think I'll keep it. The last 5k I ran I didn't do a warm up and I learned my lesson because it cost me a very slow fi...

My AMDG Run: An Answered Prayer.

I have never been a person to pray for specific favors. It never felt right to me. My prayers generally are for strength, guidance, an acceptance of what comes my way. That is always how I "felt" right praying. To pray for a specific favor like a good grade, to do well in some competition and things like that just always felt a little wrong and to pray for physical healing was something I never would have considered. I am not saying this was any kind of selflessness. I am not sure exactly what it was. A fear of seeming childish or perhaps it was out of fear that my faith would be shaken if the prayer wasn't answered. Regardless, this is how I generally pray. And that is not to say that I don't or didn't think that God doesn't concretely answer prayers. I believe that He does. For instance I have always prayed when overwhelmed something like "God, I cannot do this all alone, please help me" and I will somehow, someway find my way through whatever it...

Comparisons to Hitler

Hitler was an evil man and you know that from the fruit of his work, the mass annihilation of ethnic groups. He was pure evil. He killed people simply for their Israelite heritage. That being the case, it's only natural in the modern American political landscape that from time to time you see various politicians likened to Hitler by their detractors. After his comments on general immigration and specifically Muslim immigrants and visitors, Donald Trump is the latest target of the "Hitler Attack"and his supporters are likened to Hitler's supporters. Don't get me wrong, I'm no Trump supporter. I think the guy is a joke and frankly, I wish he would sit down and shut up. However, to compare him to Hitler; that's wrong. It is as wrong to the Jewish people, the cripples, the infirm, and the rest of the "useless" people who suffered under the Nazi regime as it is to Trump himself. If you really feel the need to compare someone or something in Am...
