Reverse Trick-or-Treating
The youth at Restoration Community Church have had a heart for child slavery on the ivory coast. So, last night we participated in reverse trick-or-treating: knocking on doors and handing out candy. The kids went door to door giving neighbors free-trade chocolate explaining that 80% of the chocolate produced in the world is from cocoa beans on the ivory coast, and that there are somewhere around 12,000 child slaves who have been sold (under false pretenses) or abducted working on those farms .
(My group! Grant, Evan, Dylan, Zippy, and Macy)
We, of course, went in style.
I'm so proud to be associated with these crazies!

Things that made this morning's run so beautiful:
- the cool fall air
- the vibrant colors of the trees
- kicking leaves up
- the prairie dog with a giant butt wagging his tail at me from his burrow
- the creek
- little guys playing football with dad
- the dirt trail
- the sun rays through the clouds
- the time to process the many things on my mind
- the smiles and "good mornings" of people walking and running the opposite direction
- meeting dogs
- Coldplay
- being alone
- finishing under my goal time
- a new trail
- after the first six miles, the trail spit me out at a Starbucks, so I stopped for a quick stretch/coffee/giant cup of water break
- pushing through though the last two miles were uphill
- encouraging texts from Kel
- coming home to lots of water and a long, hot shower
