Sunday June 21 "Fathers Day"

"I celebrate before the Lord. Yes and I am willing to look even more foolish than this, even to be humiliated in my own eyes!" 2 Samuel 6:21-22


Prayer
It seems like every week now God has a new message for me. Last week it was about my job. This week it was about taking my faith out to the edge. It was a consistent message not only yesterday but today.

As it is stated in 1 Corinthians 1:27, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful.

I am no longer afraid, I am totally at his mercy he has me and he will never leave me. I see it all the time.
I have been praying for Ginger that she will finally make the committment and be baptized. She is so close, next weekend it will happen. I will continue to pray for this.

Father's day is so important to me. I read today in the bible that role is to lead my family in all matters. It's an enormous responsiability but I love it. I am so thankful for everything I have. When I was growing up, my dream was to someday have a wife, kids and house. Those dreams have come true and it's all because of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It was a great day today and I'm so happy right now. God is so Great!!

Running
Yesterday I ran 7 miles it was a good run. The ankle bothered me a little bit but I made sure and stretched good. I have some good consistency going on my Saturday runs where I'm averaging around 9:30 to 9:45 per mile. That's a good easy pace. The big question I have is can I maintain a 8:30 pace in the longer distances. We'll hopefully see next weekend.
Today the ankle feels a lot better. This week is going to be a pretty hot week. Weather forecasters are predicting tempertures to be in the high 90's or low 100's. Could be interesting. Also, on Saturday I will probably run a 5K, mainly for fun but it will be interesting to see how I do. After this race there might not be another one until September so it's kind of important. Needless to say this week is critical as it will be my last hard week until Fit starts in two weeks.
Finally, I'm looking forward to Wednesday because I'm finally going to get a massage. That should help out a bunch. Until tomorrow.
