I’ve changed careers to become a firefighter. Next week I start the fire academy and the next 4 months are going to be difficult for my wife and kids while I’m away from home. If you pray, please pray for them. If you don’t pray, Chipotle gift cards will suffice.

We need to think of each other as sisters and brothers, and to be concerned with each other’s welfare. We must seek to lessen the suffering of others. Rather than working to acquire wealth, we need to do something meaningful, directed toward the welfare of humanity as a whole.
Today I join the @RunnersRoostCO Racing Team! Full of gratitude and excitement for this opportunity to help grow and support the Colorado running community! Happy New Year!
Funniest moment of the @Philly_Marathon yesterday was a woman in the crowd misreading my race bib, shouting “Go Jerry!,” then realizing that wasn’t my name as I passed, and calling after me for another 50 meters “Joey! I’m so sorry! Joey!” Like I knew, or cared. #PhillyMarathon

It's not heroic efforts to great.
It's consistent to great.
Be solid over a long period of time. That's the secret to success.
Heroic efforts often backfire, leading to burnout, time off, underperformance.

Integrity is a choice.
Kindness is a choice.
Discipline is a choice.
Consistency is a choice.
The sooner you make these choices, the further you will go.
After watching “It’s Always Sunny,” I thought Philly might be a city of degenerates. But those in the crowd and the @Philly_Marathon race volunteers are amazing! So eager to come back. #PhillyMarathon
Today I passed the 2,000 mile mark. I’ve never before run this many miles in a calendar year. So grateful.

June 28 is the feast day of Saint Irenaeus (c. 130-200), who wrote: “The glory of God is the human person most fully alive.”

Cool, so we are going to pass sensible and popular gun reform?
While we do not yet have all the facts, we do know that there has been needless loss of life that breaks our hearts.
We poke fun at Boulder quite a bit due to our political differences, but tonight, we are all Boulderites.
We love you and we are praying for you. ❤️

I am praying for the United States of America, shaken by the recent attack on Congress. I pray for those who lost their life. Violence is always self-destructive. I urge everyone to promote a culture of encounter and of care to construct the common good.

Breaking down how to set motivating goals that don't stress us out, and how to enjoy the entire process so that we aren't banking our happiness on future achievement. ow.ly/baMZ50D3NqB
Summary of the new @ShaneCompany radio ad:
You just made it through the worse year of your lives together. What the hell are you waiting for now?! Go to the Shane Co. today and buy her a diamond. You know she deserves it, you coward!

Editorial: In less than two weeks, our nation's second Catholic president — a decent man — will take over and begin the long, arduous task of rebuilding our democracy. Catholics need to get on board to help, not hinder, that process. ncr.media/3s6hmxg
Crazy. @cwalsweer - your work?
The COVID-19 outbreaks at Colorado’s two In-N-Out Burger restaurants have grown over the last week, with the state now reporting 122 employees have tested positive for the virus between the chain’s Aurora and Colorado Springs locations. dpo.st/3hud4uV
