Sounds pretty scary doesn't it? Wait til you hear what it is! Hematuria, is blood in the urine. When you go to the restroom and find blood, it is enough to scare anyone to go see the doctor! Oftentimes, the blood in the urine is a result of a Urinary tract infection, or more seriously, kidney stones, and sometimes even indicative of cancer. In a few rarer cases, it is caused by running or jogging with an empty bladder. The walls of the empty bladder smack together and small blood vessels break inside the bladder leading to the shocking sight when using the restroom. The answer? Drink water! Fill your bladder so that the walls won't smack together, they will be cushioned by the water and therefore no bleeding.
As I learned about this, I thought of those who complain, or even those that quit serving God. I have often seen the very real pain they are experiencing is due to the fact that they are empty on the inside. They have no grace and no God to cushion the jarring experiences of life. The walls of their empty soul smack together and they ask why? Why does life hurt so much?
There are others, who though they go through catastrophes, come out victorious. Their hearts are filled with God and His grace and they are cushioned through each hardship.
Is life hurting?
John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

Thanks for that verse Rev D! I actually needed to read that again as life is driving me crazy! But it's all good and draws me closer to the Lord!
As an extra...I don't think I want to jog now after reading that....LOL. :-)
God bless you Sir.
Nothing we can't handle if we are filled up with God! God bless you Dawn! Greet your husband for us.
I've been running for years and never knew that. Guess you learn something new everyday!
