I've been grounded from running. After Wednesday of last week my shins were real sore and Dr. Karen Pearson diagnosed me with shin splints. After consulting with Dr. Bill Davis and Dr. Kyle Davis, I believe Karen was right. So, Dr. Bill grounded me from running until my poor ol' shins are better. I really don't think I could run anyway. Just trying to power shop for groceries gets them "fired up". Good news is they are getting better and I do have an email in to an "expert" to see how I avoid this problem again. Since this is a new sport for me any info would be appreciated.

The end of June I canceled my gym membership for a number of reasons. The most important two are we will be moving (as soon as our house sells) and also I don't usually go to the gym in the summer very much because I want to be outside not inside looking out at the sun. So I started fast walking around Lake Tye. The first few times I only went around once and now I go around it twice. A week or so ago while I was walking I got this strong feeling that I wanted to run instead of just walking so I did. Not the best of ideas since my shoes were barely adequate enough for walking let alone running. Today I ran with my new running shoes on and it was great!! Of course I can't make it all the way around the lake yet so I walk part of the time and run some but I'm sure that will change as I do it more. I never thought of myself as a runner but I really enjoy it. Hopefully soon my lungs won't feel fire and I can keep going and going and going............
I have been feeling extremely guilty since the accident on July 19th. Not wanting to minimize the loss of Mike Wallace and the void he leaves in the lives of those who knew him, I was struggling with guilt. The guilt of feeling so blessed that my husband, son and daughter-in-law were not hurt. How could I feel so blessed when such a tragedy has happened? Am I so shallow or self-absorbed, etc? I finally shared this with Pastors Dan and Lori Nelson and they shared with me these two thoughts: 1. it is normal to feel like I was feeling and 2. it is a good kind of guilt.
So, I am blessed and forever thankful that once again God has protected my family. And, thank you Dan and Lori you guys are awesome!
Have waited all week to know what to blog and what to say. The first thing I have got to say is there will never be a moment where someone can try and tell me there is no God. I will be the first to tell you that there is no way I would be here today if there wasn't.
I would also like to say thank you to Mike Wallace for spending his last moments sharing his love of motorcycles, and his favorite route to ride with me and showing me the ropes. Mike, I will forever miss you for sure, but I know that God has brought you up to show Him what in the world you loved so much about motorcycles.
It was a moment in time that I will never forget, and I will never take for granted. This whole week has been a week of talking, remembering, and healing. Truly knowing all the freinds I have and that are there for me. I want to thank ALL of you for your prayers, texts, phone calls and support.
Again, not sure what to write, what to share, is it too much, is it too little. So much going on in my head, so many other people affected, so many people hurt, but so many people to be reached through this moment. So what do I share, what do I write? Having been there for every moment and every visual. Does anyone really need to know how I am feeling, or what I saw?
For now, I think there are two important things that I do need to share. Mike Wallace was one of the most amazing, loving people I have had the honor of having in my life. Not only that but he lived a life that no one could really know but him. But what matters is the life he lived for God and for the people he knew should know God. He loved and cherished anyone he came in contact with. Why? Because God turned to him and first loved him.
Another thing: I would not be here today if it were not for God, who seems to obviously have a plan for my future. Really can't say much more than that at the moment. Because I can now never say: "It can never happen to me." I will ask this question knowing that anything could happen to you in a moment...Can you truly say that there is no God? Can you truly say that you know what will happen when you die? I pray that you do, and if not I would hope you look someone up who does. The Roch Church in Monroe, WA would love to help. Service times 10:00am and 11:30am.
Don't miss the tribute ride for Mike Wallace after second service on Sunday July 27th after the 11:30am service.
Mike Wallace's Memorial on Tuesday, July 29th at The Rock Church in Monroe, WA at 4:30pm.
well tonight I am going to drop my kids off at the airport so they can go see there dad. I am happy for my Kids, that they will get to see there Dad. But at the same time it is not easy for me to put them an an airplane without me . My kids and I have done a lot of growing in the Lord in the last almost two years now time flies when you are growing. I wish they could take the rock church with them, at least I know they take there God with them, God has given me a peace about this trip they are taking, and I know God will take care of my babies.
Yes, today we have been married 38 years! I am wondering where those years have gone and at times, how did we survive? Anyone that's been married more then a minute (o.k. maybe a little longer then that), knows there is a lot involved in a marriage that we never think about when we are saying "I Do". The best thing is that through everything love grows stronger each day. It hasn't been all fun and games but it's been worth every minute of every day of every year. But getting back to the number......how could 38 years have gone by so fast? And, I'm not even old enough to have been married that long (hahahahaha)! Happy Anniversary Billy!!! I'm looking forward to the next 38+ years!!!!
altough change is tough , it is so worth it when you have been one way your whole life change is hard, when you start to come out on the other side it is bittersweet at times and it doesnt mean you are perfect actually far from it. change is a choice that is hard to make . God is bigger than anything that is one thing I have choose to remind my self daily. I dont believe change is possible without God. when you let God in it rocks your world. I thank God He is bigger. this is spoken from my heart Kimberley Deam
Have a great holiday! Be safe and have fun!!! We are in Ellensburg spending the holiday with Jay and Laura and kids. Fireworks are banned here but the thunder and lightening are making up for it!!! Actually, I guess there is a fireworks show at a park here. Loving the sunshine! It's only 74 today and a little breezy but wonderful! Went for a long ride in the country and enjoyed the peace. We refrained from being obsessive and only drove by the house we want three times! Heading back to Monroe sometime tomorrow. See everyone Sunday!
I've just read Pastor Jeff's blog for the last couple of days (WHOHOO on Seven's adoption!!!!) and after reading what he had to say about reading the Word I couldn't help but think how we are like little kids. We want everything now and with no effort. Well, it doesn't work like that. We need to read the Word everyday. It is food for our spirit man. We wouldn't think of denying our bodies of food but daily we deny our spirit of the food it needs.
Reading the Word is like implanting a road map in our brains and in our spirit. When we need direction all we have to do is recall what we have read. Whether we need to know how to deal with a situation at work or how to love our family when you'd rather thump them or any other challenge that comes up in our daily living, the answer is in the Word and if you are in the Word then the answer is in you.
If you aren't reading (and praying) daily, start. You don't have to spend hours - just minutes a day. While you are having your morning coffee read. While you are taking your shower pray. It's that simple and the more you do it the easier it will be to fit into your day. Also, if you have trouble sleeping at night, read the Word before you go to sleep. Your mind will dwell on what you have read instead of running in circles.
It's time to grown up (a little) and do what we need to do to be the people of God we should be.
