What is your worse race photo?
Here is one of mine. I was giving it my all as I finished a half marathon, but wound up looking like drowned rat after it's last meal of DECON.
Unfortunately I delete most of the evidence when there are bad race photos. For some reason I still had this on file.
Maybe the caption should read "AIR...I need AIR!"
What is your worst race photo you have of yourself?
I would love to see yours! I really could use some good laughs right now.
If you post your link we could have a really fun time making fun of ourselves =D

Husband encouragement challenge
These are a series of emails I signed up to receive. I think they are helping me to change for the best...as long as I don't forget the other stuff I am supposed to be doing, like keeping the house clean and making meals on time =D .
"Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers." (Ephesians 4:29)
Another way to describe the positive side of this "30-Day Husband Encouragement Challenge" is by using the word "edify," which means, "to build up." Negative comments only discourage and tear down. Positive comments encourage and build.
Do you edify your husband before others, adding to his value in their eyes? This is especially important with other family members.
Do you praise your husband to his relatives, and yours? Does your husband's mother know how much you love him? How about your dad? Perhaps you can drop a word of praise into a conversation or letter. Be creative in letting your relatives know that you respect your husband, love him, and support him--in spite of whatever flaws and weaknesses he may have.
Day 6
"Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." (1 Corinthians 10:31b)
Do you recognize and appreciate your husband's creativity? Or do you criticize and demean his efforts?
Instead of negativity, determine to be positive. Perhaps you can help your husband see that his efforts are an opportunity to glorify God.
Is your husband the "creative" type? Does he have any artistic gifts? What is that special "knack" he has? Affirm him for his handiwork--a hobby, music, gardening, tinkering with cars, working with wood, etc. Remember: Even if he doesn't measure up to your standards, praise his efforts. If your budget allows, buy him a book or magazine that will continue to encourage his special skill or talent.
If you have a hard time finding his "creative side," understand that men's creativity sometimes is related to their work. Find something he does to make his job run more smoothly or something he does that adds value to his work, and let him know that you have noticed.
Make his day--Praise his accomplishments in public, while he is listening.
