A Few of My Favorite Things…

March 12, 2010 Chris Vonada Leave a comment

I’m running the Gate River Run tomorrow, a 15k race, and trying to decide what I can’t live without during this race… here’s my list:

some jammin’ tunes: I’ve loaded up my tiny iPod Shuffle with 90 minutes of the stuff I love to listen to really loud (YES YES YES, I SAY, I have hearing issues!!)
Carbs!! I’m getting my body ready… Loading my skinny-ness tonight with a good dose of carbs (in addition to loving to cook I also enjoy indulging in what I make).
Gu: this is new to me… I stopped at the Jacksonville Running Company store the other day after FOOD across the street at the Thai place, and stocked up on Gu for the race. I have no clue what Gu tastes like yet but am thinkin’ it will be macho to guzzle Gu while rippin’ up the road in my NEW New Balance ROCKETS!!
Hydration: I’m peeing A LOT… because I’m drinking a lot of water to hydrate. FYI – peeing is not one of my favorite things but I thought I should mention it here (I’ll spare you the visual media )
A lucky rubberband, OF COURSE!! These don’t weigh a lot, are flexible, and if I get in a jam I’m thinkin’ I can do something MacGyver-ish with it (plus I just LOVE rubberbands)…
Enough clothes to keep me from being arrested, and to pin my necessary number on me.
I can do all things through Him who gives me strength… yep, I’m taking Him with me too…

Ok, so, what are your favorite things?

Happy Memorial Day! May 28, 2012
I hope you get the chance to do something fun like roll out a slip n’ slide or throw water balloons at people. Both of those things are fun. To my grandfather, my friends in the service and all the troops, thank you for serving our country! Stuff Christians Like returns tomorrow.

Making sure everyone knows your fiance isn’t living with you. May 24, 2012
Want to torture a Christian who recently got engaged? Don’t allow them any space in the conversation to tell you that they’re not living with their fiancé. That’s some good fun, my friend, because we want to tell you that. We want to be up front that we’re not living in sin, that we’re not [...]

Loving the unlovable. May 23, 2012
Sometimes the hardest part of loving people is that you don’t always get to hear the whole song. You reach out. In a time of need or hurt or maybe even hope. And you get pushed away. You get chased away. You get shoved away. And you wait and you help and you stand in [...]

Win a free trip to WinShape Camps! May 22, 2012
Back in the day, we used to give away free stuff all the time on Stuff Christians Like. Then we stopped after that “badger in a bag” giveaway, which went about as well as you can imagine a prize of that nature going. But, it turns out, giving away free stuff is fun. So I [...]

Grace for the friend who talks during the song you asked them to listen to. May 21, 2012
I’ve read the Bible. The entire Bible, from “In the Beginning,” to “It’s gonna get crazy up in here!” (Not a direct translation.) And I’m almost positive that what I’m going to talk about today is not covered anywhere in the text. I say “almost” because it might have been hidden in a bag of [...]

The Adoption Journey May 19, 2012
A few weeks ago, I got to see the awesomeness of adoption first hand. My brother Will and his wife Tiffany adopted a baby boy! They live in Nashville too and it was amazing to rush over to their house and experience the joy of that moment. Prior to that, I honestly didn’t know much [...]
