Being An Ambassador For Christ

Posted on April 3, 2019 by Coco

In the social media world, it’s not unusual to be an “ambassador ” for a company or brand you like. The responsibilities and perks can vary from brand to brand, but usually involve promoting the brand’s products or services in exchange for free products, discounts, access to special events, and/or monetary payment. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5: 20 that we are ambassadors for Christ. What do you think the responsibilities and perks are for that role?

Running In Brickell Miami

Posted on March 31, 2019 by Coco

After a few days at home, I headed back to downtown Miami to spend another week working out of our Miami office. I had early meetings the first few days, but Thursday morning I had no specific commitments before my flight home. Instead of trying to find the right bridge to Miami Beach, I decided to go running in Brickell Miami towards Virginia Key and Key Biscayne.

Now that’s a Miami view!

Brickell Avenue is lined with tall bank buildings, gated condo complexes, and high-end hotels. All in all, it seemed like a nicer business district than downtown Miami, but I did notice that I didn’t see any Starbucks!

I’m recovering from back-to-back business trips, but didn’t want to miss out on March Runfessions. It is the middle of Lent, after all. It always feels good to bare my soul soles and come clean at the runfessional over at Marcia’s Healthy Slice.

Running In Downtown Miami

Posted on March 24, 2019 by Coco

This week I had my second business trip of the year, this time to our Miami office. While the views out the window are gorgeous, much of downtown Miami is not. It feels like a decaying concrete jungle, and walking from my hotel to the office I encounter more homeless people than others on their way to work–probably because most locals don’t live in that part of the city and just drive in.

That lovely park attracts a lot of homeless people ….

I don’t want to be unfair to Miami, I’m just explaining why I don’t get excited about running when I’ve got a business trip to downtown Miami.
