Running for the Source

Well, I finally went out on a run this evening. Why don’t I get my butt in gear and go running more often? It was beautiful and as usual God meets me when I’m out of breath and clearly aware of my broken humanity. I run slow…but hey I’m 40 now. :)

I ran around the neighborhood passing lots of people out on walks and lots of greetings from children paying. The view of the clouds, sun starting to set casting long shadows while overlooking Lake Victoria and the Source of the Nile River is amazing. I was reminded of our Tour of Jinja where Ben Landford shared some devotional thoughts about the English explorer who was seeking the source of the Nile River. While I was putting some effort into my running I was talking with God…well or He was talking with me, about my needed daily efforts to seek Him as the Source of Life. Running can be good for body and soul.
