Clean Runnings

As most of my audience well knows, I have been training for a race coming up in October so I have been trying to run as much as possible. Well, my “new” for Monday had to do with such runnings.

I was just running along minding my own business when I noticed some trash on the ground. It was an empty Gatorade bottle. Well, that is just so inconsiderate! It’s a big bottle too, not just a little napkin. So I looked at it and I decided to pick it up myself and throw it away! This is where I run, I don’t want it to be trashy! If no one else will do it, I certainly will!

So from that point on, I decided to not just run, but to pick up litter at the same time. It’s certainly better than just rolling my eyes at all the trash. I like a clean neighborhood to run in! I ended up picking up the Gatorade bottle, a bag, a cigarette box, and a big plastic thing.

I am by no means a “green” person, but it felt really good picking up that trash along the way! In fact, it gave me a boost of energy and I made it all the way home in good time.

So my resolution is to not only run, but to clean the earth at the same time! I think God will be proud:)

Look how exciting it is to pick up litter!!!

John 15:3
Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.
