Ronne Rock visits The Story Table

Welcome back! More from me below, but first, a little more about today’s podcast guest. Ronne Rock joins us in this week’s episode of The Story Table. Ronne is the author of One Woman Can Change the World. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and I wanted to introduce you to her work. Here’s a little bit of Ronne in her own words:

Hi there, love. We’re in this together, and I am for you. I offer hope for you, my purpose-weary warrior, and help you see God’s absolute delight in your design.  I walk and keep walking. Cheer and keep cheering. You see, I believe that you are hand-crafted by God for a life that is rich and vibrant and filled with stories. That’s why I invest, and dive deep to remind you of how beautifully you are formed.  Consider our time together an ongoing conversation about life and love and what a powerful thing it is to be fully human, and yet still the image and likeness of our Creator. I cherish most the stories that I witness being written in the lives of women with the power to restore the breaches around them. God holds the pen in those stories, “That one—I hold her. And that one—she is My delight. And that one—never snatched away.” I share those stories with you—because those stories will be your story too, and I can’t wait to celebrate your story with the world.

I am a mouthpiece of celebration for women. Redemption is our theme.

And now, a little more from the home front. I recently purchased some new exercise equipment to help me lose a few pandemic pounds.  I’ve also learned of some new fascinating research suggesting that grizzly bears aren’t fond of running, a fact attributed to their ample girth. I’m not saying these two things are related but my feelings are hurt just talking about it.

I’ve always been told bears can run really fast. While the latest study has confirmed this, as I noted above, it has also concluded that Smokey and his friends don’t particularly like to run. I feel like I could’ve saved someone a lot of money and time here, but no one asks me about these things.

Scientists made this startling discovery after training nine grizzly bears to walk and run uphill on special treadmills. Don’t you just immediately have a ton of questions? I did. I discovered certain team members were tasked with feeding apple slices to the bears to keep them motivated while the others measured their oxygen consumption. I can’t confirm that these fruit feeders were fresh-faced interns, but if I were a betting woman, I’d put money on it.  Two things. 1) I’ve not considered snacking while working out on my new rowing machine. I can see where this would keep me engaged. And 2) I’d like to know if my tax dollars were used to fund this SRC (Straight Running Crazy) research.

There’s more. I read where the researchers claimed that due to the bears’ low metabolic thresholds, they could be considered non-athletic. I’m offended, for all of us. Can we help it if our metabolic thresholds are affecting our workouts? No. No, we can’t.  

I’ve long heard that should I meet an angry bear on a walking trail, I do not have to outrun the bear, as long as I can outrun the slowest member of my group. I kinda of hope said member is a sassy scientist, and he chooses to run downhill.  You know what they say. #followthescience

Hugs,

P.S. I’ve got some devotional thoughts here. I hope you’ll join me.
