Being Prepared For Parenting

ByTim Nolte April 13, 2018

As much as I’d like to think that I was ready to parent the fact is that I owe a lot to my wife. If it wasn’t for my wife’s knowledge and experience my kids wouldn’t have had the experiences they have had so far. I’m still learning everyday day how to be a better parent.

Weekend Recap…
ByTim Nolte September 7, 2005
Ok, so I guess I took a break from the whole blog thing, sort of. Basically I ended up adding some additional features and tweaks. I never did get to see any friends. Oh well, hopefully another time. Sunday, my family and I headed off to the Minnesota State Fair with my aunt and uncle. My sister invited two friends so they basically went off and did their own thing. It started out with kind of crumby weather on the way, but it cleared up by the time we got their and started walking around. I can’t say that I say anything exceptional. Did visit the technology building (surprised?! LOL), and Unisys had some pretty cool bio-metric stuff they were showing off. HP was there…

Bringing Water to Africa One Mile At A Time
ByTim Nolte August 8, 2019August 8, 2019
Just shy of hitting the 7 mile mark but even so I was trying to crank out those miles for #HWI and bring awareness to the massive need for clean water in Africa. I only need $15/day from now until #GRMarathon day to hit my $1000 goal. #Run4Water #WhyIRun Give to Wells in Africa: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

Today Started Out Good, But Ended With Me Dropping Facebook Officially
ByTim Nolte April 14, 2020April 14, 2020
This morning I ran 5+ miles. It was a great time of prayer and thinking of the people in Sierra Leone and being concerned that with #COVID-19 putting people out of work will raising money for more wells be put at risk. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun The day ended with me deactivating my Facebook account, with no real intent on returning, out of frustration with people that call themselves Christ followers, people that I once called friends. Their behavior towards the pandemic makes them appear like they have little regard for human life, or caring about others more than themselves. I think what’s even worse than jumping the Facebook ship is the fact that a lot of these people are also connected with my running group,…

Getting In A Quick Tuesday Training Run
ByTim Nolte August 6, 2019August 6, 2019
A well in a village in Africa is an important part of the community, and something to be guarded for sure. You will usually see a fence around the well in order to keep animals and thieves away. There is a national standard for the well pump, which also makes it a target for theft. Clean water is as valuable as gold in some places in the world. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon Give to Life, Donate Now: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

Life Principle: Disappointments are inevitable, discouragement is a choice.
ByTim Nolte May 10, 2018May 10, 2018
It was an especially stressful week. Getting a long run in and reading this devotional helped to turn things around. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. – Philippians 4:13 NLT
