No Wal-Mart Month, day 2!

(Right now I am in day 3, so this post is about YESTERDAY!)

The day started out nice - went for an 18 mile run!  

As much as I love my running group, it was nice to be by myself.  There is a certain glory in being by yourself, early in the morning, with hardly any traffic, running on backroads.  The world is waking up at the time that I run, and it is very cool to watch the sun rise, birds start chirping, and the environment just come alive.  I was surrounded by God's glorious creation yesterday morning (as I am all the time every day, but like I said, there is something special about early morning...).

After that, we went to church, and what a wonderful church family we have.  I felt very moved (perhaps it started on my run) and very emotional during the worship service yesterday.  I can't describe in words how it feels to know that God is in ALL things - and works through ALL things, for the good of those who love him.

After church we zoomed down to Arcade to redeem a voucher (Groupon, or something) for our annual Arcade/Attice Railroad Train ride.  In a few years, Adam probably won't be as excited to go, but for now, he still loves it!
Adam practices balancing on the railroad track.


On the way home, I started thinking about dinner.  I wanted some roasted cauliflower with parmesan and bacon.  I knew I had all the ingredients for it...except cauliflower.  So I was watching the farm stands on the way, but didn't see cualiflower, or see it advertised.  So when I got home I went to our local Sav-A-Lot and got some fresh (not frozen) cauliflower.  Now granted, it was Dole brand, but it was the best I could do on short notice, and I didn't go to Wal-Mart!
