Spiritual Prep

It is the Lord’s day.  We praise and honor a risen savior and the kindness and faithfulness of our God, through the Spirit who dwells in us.  It is a day we all gather to worship Him and to encourage one another.  Praise be to the Father, the Son and the Spirit.  We pray for you all in the name of Jesus.  Amen

Also Mother’s day.  CJ has her children here to honor her.  We are celebrating together today, honoring all she has done for our family.  She is truly a family manager who has work tirelessly for many years for the higher good of our tribe and has kept the faith being an inspiration to us all.  We love her beyond expression.   

I know the wonderfulness of heaven is beyond our dreams.  But for today, we will rejoice in the heaven we are experiencing with each other on earth.  My prayer is that your day is going as well.

Training Prep

As you know, training is over.  I want to express my great appreciation to Sallie and Craig Sparks-Shonda and Mark Oliver-Becky and Andy Delicker .  They got up at 3:30 am to get to Indy to surprise me at the start of the race.  It was a long drive and very cold morning but they made it.  Can’t tell you how great it is to have such friends in Christ.   

Ok, legs are really sore.  Surprised which muscles hurt.  All of them.  Sleeping last night was good but couldn’t stay in one spot for very long because of the ache.  Looking to walk a lot today and will take a short run tomorrow to iron them out. 

We are not sure of the exact number of people we passed yet.  However, one of our running team was Dennis Martin an actuary.  He did the math and is estimating we passed over 10,000 people.  What a great victory for NWHCM and the people of Haiti.
