I’ll confess. Our little family is blessed to be members at an awesome little church, but we hardly ever actually attend services. It seems like we will hit a really good streak, and then I’ll just decide to start hitting the snooze a few too many times.

I wrote a week ago about a new iPhone app that has been helping to motivate me on my (almost) daily walks. The app is called RunKeeper, and I downloaded the lite version to try it for free. It won’t be long before I upgrade though, it is SUCH a great app!
