Good Morning,
We have another beautiful morning in St, Joseph.  The cooler weather is very helpful in training.  I am on track to run the St. Joseph Marathon (Half-Marathon) the end of September.  So far so good.  MDO is on break creating less traffic around Ashland.  It is the calm before the storm.  Next week we start school, kick off Wednesday programing.  It will be an exciting fall at Ashland without a doubt. I hope you get out there today, it is a wonderful day!

Blessings, Doug

Don't forget the produce table.  Bring some or leave some.  We are getting to the end of the season, so enjoy!

Today's Scripture


Philippians 1:21 (New International Version)
 
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Today's Thought

This is a very interesting verse.  Paul is really saying that his life is in God's hands and that whatever happens with God it is OK.  Paul lives each day for Christ, but he isn't afraid to die.  When Paul dies he knows he will live forever with Jesus.  That is our promise as well.  May we join Paul in saying to live is Christ and to die is gain.  Just a thought for today!
