Just to encourage you that the way you deal with your issues and are honest about them has inspired and challenged me in my own life, and this idea of setting clearly defined public goals for the year seems like an excellent idea, which I will be doing myself. Will continue to hold you and your family in my prayers, James. Jase,

I am inspired by your account of becoming a runner. I also feel a deep need for focused exercise, but may not take up running due to a lack of specific motivation, like having someone chase after me with an axe. Blessings to you and your lovely family. Mike Jase,

A few thoughts: 1. i am so very proud of you for training and running the 1/2 marathon! As for the full marathon, YOU CAN DO IT! i'm rooting for you big time! It will be a GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT! What marathon are you running? i trained in 2000 for 6 months to run the Chicago Marathon and raised money for AIDS Project LA. We did it by being in pace groups. My pace group was a 13 minute mile where we ran 2 to 3 minutes and walked 1 minute. Since we use different muscles for running and walking, the 1 minute rest was great! They had us run a training marathon(a full 26.2 miles) 3 weeks before our Chicago one and i would NEVER do that again. But it was a really great experience and i learned a lot about myself. With my health now i am unable to run and i really miss it! 2. i am turning 40 also, but on 2 April! Hopefully i will be getting better soon and have a great time during my 40's! 3. Looking forward to your book with Pete Rollins, Scott McKnight and Kevin Corcoran. Question for you: Where is the state of women in this emerging/emergent/missional conversation in the UK? Here in the USA, except for the always delightful Phyllis Tickle, NOT many women are involved, invited, or publishing. It, to me and many other women, is STILL a white, male, middleclass dominated structure. i write on it here: http://www.existentialpunk.com/existential_punk/2008/12/emergent-beyond.html 4. i love and appreciate you and your always generous attitude even when we disagree. i aspire to learn more how to communicate more generously with people who disagree with me in this coming year. THANKS for being a great example, Jase! 5. i wish you good will, cheer and health in 2009. Happy New Year! Warm Regards, Adele Jase,

I have used 'For the love of God' by Carson for the last few years and it has transformed by reading of the bible. Grace for 2009. Just discovered you blog and have enjoyed it.

Wangerin is an excellent storyteller and has put the Hebrew scripture in a story form. It gives a good overview of the people of God in a readable form. May you know the richness of God's grace and love in 2009. Jason, another book that may help with the story of God’s people is The Book of God by Wangerin.

By that I don't just mean marathons and studies but the restless search for reality as a Christ follower. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours! It'll be great to see you next month at Swanwick.
