Apparently it was Mountain Day today.

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.

-1 John 4:16b-21 (NIV)

Thursday: I did <35min in the weight room.
Friday: I did 45min at 4.2mph on the treadmill.  I definitely felt physically tired, but was proud of myself for pushing through.

mjules and I were talking about an assortment of things this morning, and spurred by agreement about the frustration of people not responding to the whole of what you're saying (we were not just talking about last night's VP debate) came this:

[10:12 AM] mjules: We should run for President/VP together. 
[10:12 AM] mjules: You could be President because I am so clearly not an Alpha type. *grin* 
[10:13 AM] me: :) I'm not certain I am either. 
[10:13 AM] mjules: Oh well. Maybe we'll share power.
[10:13 AM] mjules: Hey, they want a real change? Forget P/VP. We'll be Co-Presidents.
[10:14 AM] me: lol
[10:13 AM] mjules: I mean, I think we've got everyone's best interests at heart.
[10:13 AM] mjules: You're Christian, I'm not but I understand it... we're both excellent at thinking inside someone else's head... we're logical and conscientious and detail-oriented... I'm bigender so I've got the male interest thing going on while still being sensitive to women's rights... gay marriage would be de facto as of our first day in office... *laugh*

I actually got a CAUMC small group discussion writeup posted, for the first time since *checks* June.

Do you get those E-mails, too? The alumnae ones, like yesterday's that was all "TODAY IS MOUNTAIN DAY, and we're going to pick some apples, HAVE FUN AT WORK"? Cause, man, it kind of felt like Carol Christ was TAUNTING me!!!

:) I get those emails at my secondary email address, so I actually first found out about it from another alum on my flist.

It was a kind of cool and grey day, so I was a bit surprised.

You just quoted my favorite verse(s) in the whole Bible. Followed closely by Song of Songs, but... yeah.

:) It's 'cause you quoted the "There is no fear in love" bit in our IM convo on Thursday and I looked it up then and was still thinking about it.
