Spiritual Prep

I was sent this scripture by a friend as an encouragement.  Hebrews 12:1b-2a  Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith.  The preparation is not quite finished.  The physical prep is over but there is still spiritual prep to do.   We ate the pre race meal CJ cooked for us all and had our prayer as a family asking for good health but most of all that what we are doing and have done will all be for the glory of the Lord.  To help show the passion he has put on our hearts for others in despirate need. 

We are all here and have enjoyed the company that comes with the teasing and jabbing of a family.  The kids teasing because CJ and I don’t hear quite as well as we used to and re-living Tanner’s first run last year.  We are full of whole wheat pasta, and getting ready to sleep if we can.   

I feel almost like I am playing ball again with all the prep that is taking place.  There was a point where I would get some quite time and review my play book and scouting report.  That quite time will be in the morning with coffee and the play book will be speaking to the Lord and reviewing his play book for our lives.  I give thanks for all of you and the graciousness you have shown.  Each step that is painless and each that may have pain will be given for him and what He has already done for those who believe in Him. 

Training Prep

Two times in the whirlpool today.  Still one stretch to go.  Have to be there for another TV interview at 6:40 AM.  Then to the back of the line to get ready to go to work.  Tell you all about it tomorrow night.
