Read, Run, Rosh

Reading and running and hashanah, oh my!

Today is Read a Child a Book You Like Day. Since I don't have quick or easy access to a child, I just read part of "The Myth of Certainty" by Daniel Taylor to my roommate, Jamie.
"Being reflective is both a blessing and a curse, a potential for strength and for weakness. It can lead equally well toward truth or error. Life can be richer, more textured, more challenging, more meaningful. Likewise, it can become more barren, more threatening, more overwhelming..."

Next up, it's time to dust off the ol' running shoes. Today is National Women's Health and Fitness Day. It's America's biggest annual push for women's health and over 1,000 groups held events for approximately 80-100,000 women today.



Then at sundown Rosh Hashanah began, the Jewish new year, which will last until tomorrow at sundown. For Jews this is a time for self-reflection and repenting. Not exactly the streamers and kiss at midnight us protestants are used to, but it still sounds pretty cool. Jewish people will usually eat apples and honey to represent a sweet new year. I can go for that.
