I have been a follower of a fellow runner on her Shut up and Run blog at www.shutupandrun.net. Her name is Beth and she runs. She writes beautifully and comically, has a unique insight to life in general, has no shame when it comes to talking about the "finer" points, side effects, benefits of running, and her passion comes through in every blog. It's not for everyone, perhaps not even the faint of heart, but I thoroughly enjoy her writing and hope to be as successful at running/competing and blogging/writing as she has. Anyway, if you haven't seen the story on TV, Sherry Arnold, family and friend of Beth at SUAR, has gone missing during her morning run last Saturday in Sidney, Montana. The FBI has been called in on this case and as of this blog post, nothing new has been discovered. I write this blog post to help share the story, keep it fresh in your minds, and to remind you all to be safe. I felt moved to share this story as it spoke to my heart. If you feel moved to pray, please do. If you feel moved to share the story, please do. Do whatever speaks to your heart. I know that this story is not the only issue out there in the world and that some of you, or maybe all of us, are fighting a battle each day or dealing with our own personal struggles. If you feel compelled to, please keep this woman and family and friends and community in your thoughts and prayers. It can't hurt.
Hope seems like such a fickle and overused word during times of duress and pain. However, I believe that it is hope that helps keep us moving, thinking, learning, sharing, when all we truly want to do is stop, drop, and give in to the darkness that almost always accompanies a tragic event. Hope that there is something out there, better for us, waiting for us. Thank you for reading and please, keep Sherry's story out there. And please, be safe.
