I finally have gotten back in the habit of taking that early morning walk. For the past few years, I walked with a neighbor or two very early in the morning. My Indian neighbor moved away from the neighborhood in May and away from Montgomery in August. I continued to walk until I suffered a severe sprain of my ankle in August. This has resulted in pesistent foot pain, usually aggravated by the particular shoes I wear. A few times I have walked with some other neighbors, an older cute couple who walk religiously every morning and whoever happened to be with them.
Last week I got back in the routine with one of my former collegiate ministry students, Luke. We walk 2.5-3 miles each morning beginning around 5:25 or 5:30.
Luke was a student in my earlier days at AUM and served on our leadership team. He owns a business and serves as a bivocational pastor in a neighboring town. We get to talk "shop" when we want to, something my Hindu/professor did not really enjoy.
Not only are the walks good for my body, they do my mind and spirit good too. This morning we made the 3 mile route. Maybe some day I will return to jogging. See you in the morning, Luke.

Ken,
It has been a blessing to have an accountability partner in pursing good health, but spiritual health as well. I am thankful for the mentoring you are offering in my young pastorate. Look forward to seeing you tomorrow morning.
