Long Overdue Update

The last time I posted something was shortly before the half marathon
event in January. In case you were wondering whether I got lost along
the way or fainted before reaching the finish line, none of those
things occurred. I finished in 2 hours and 52 minutes, and recovered
fairly quickly. I've continued enjoying jogging, though I've scaled
back my distance to 5-6 miles on the weekend and a couple 3-milers
during the week.
It's not until today until I figured out how to post a message on my
blog, which a family member set up for me last Fall. So, now I have no
excuse. I will try to update this more regularly, to keep you posted
on what's going on in my life.
Two weeks ago, I placed third at a state-wide Toastmasters speech
competition; and, in less than two weeks, my ministry partner James
and I are headed for the San Francisco bay area to minister at rescue
missions and other recovery programs. Taking a little time off from
work right now, to spend some time with my younger son, Micah, while
he and his girl-friend are visiting us from New York.
