Well, I've been busier than a one legged man in a soccer game! I've been busy at the jail, getting ready for a Korea/China trip in Oct and just finished my 1st Ironman Triathlon (Sept 12th) and just had hernia surgery on Thursday of this week! Whew!
I miss all the give and take here but I really don't even have time to share all that God is doing! He's even doing unbelievable things with my triathlon involvement. I was asked to pray before the start of the race. (over 1,100 athletes) they did a video interview & showed it on the JumboTron all day during the race and there other amazing things happening as a result. All of this is in addition to the great things happening at NLC!
Here are a few pics of the triathlon, enjoy: A business man @NLC made this banner for me! On the 1st 13.1mi loop of the marathon Prayer before the start of the race Biking 112 miles! Officially an Ironman 14:49 later!
Here's the video of the finish!

C'mon guys...no one has to be inspired to do an Ironman, but how 'bout getting up off the couch at least to change the channels instead of using the remote!

Hmmm...did I mention that my home theater has a remote dimmer for the lights? LOL. I used to have to do quite a bit of cardio climbing up and down the stairs to get snacks but now I have a small refrigerator up there also.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

I don't know how to change the channel on my TV without a remote.
I am going to start running a couple days a week with a guy that trains cross country runners though, maybe I can get back to where I can run farther than from the church door to the car when it is raining.
