One of my favorite places to run is Bredesen Park. It has walking/biking trails running through ponds and woods. I enjoy it because 1. I don’t have to worry about getting run over by a bus, 2. The blowing snow and rain – so common to this month – are partially blocked by trees, and 3. I get to see a plethora of animals such as deer, ducks, geese (although I despise them), and others. This past week as I was running in the snow I saw a marten bound across the trail.
As I run and take in the beauty around me, I praise God. Although this creation groans for a final renewal (Romans 8:23), it also declares the glory of God (Psalm 19).
