5K

Hey guys,

I participated in a 5K run in Prospect Park just about a week ago. The cause was for Arthritis. My littlle cousin who is turning 3 has been diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis in her knees. She was the sponsor child for this event. This was their first annual run for Arthritis in Prospect Park. It was a good crowd that showed up, hopefully each year it brings more awareness and more people out. Overall it was a great cause to come out and support for. Thank you for all that did!

--Just for all you guys wondering I ended running about 2/3 and walking the rest. I came in 47th at a time of 51:51..hopefully next year I will improve

Footprints

This poem/prayer means a great deal to me, its special to me. Hopefully you will see what I mean..

Footprints in the Sand

One night I had a dream...
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord, and
Across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand;
One belonged to me, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before us,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life,
There was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in my life
This really bothered me, and I questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
You would walk with me all the way;
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life,
There is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why in times when I
needed you the most, you should leave me.
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious
child. I love you, and I would never,
never leave you during your times of trial and suffering.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you

Jazz

Hey Guys,

I am a bartender during pre shows and intermissions at the Lincoln Jazz Center and I just wanted to share this website with everyone who is interested in Jazz performances, culture, history as well as programs for children, teens and adults, for you guys I recommend checking this website out. At the Lincoln Jazz Center they have a variety of performances and events. The venue is very nice and the views of the city are amazing.

They also have the Dizzy’s Club where you can sit down and enjoy an excellent meal and drinks while listening to a live jazz band! I have both eaten the food (the Red Velvet cake is amazingly delicious) and listened to the bands and the experienece is awesome! They charge a cover usually ranging from $15-30 pp. If your looking to go I get in for free plus 1 GUEST..
