The Old Man Still Has It!

It was pitch black at 5:20 a.m. when I boarded the bus for Pudre Canyon on May 6th. The day had come for the Ft. Collins mini-marathon.

I plunked down the registration fee and told lots of people about my upcoming race - just to make sure I got running again. Now the day had come. Had I prepared enough? Would I need to be resuscitated somewhere along the 15 mile race course?

I was encouraged to cross the finish line - and I felt great!

When's the next one?

Wrapping up the year at UCCS

I just realized that my last post was at the beginning of the semester and here we are wrapping up the year already!

What a very fruitful year we had- praise God! Not only did we continue to see new people coming to our Nav meetings - right up to the last night, but many students grew spiritually deeper as well.

Our "high commitment" Bible studies proved successful as we asked students to commit to preparing, attending and participating each week. They also memorized scripture as part of their preparation. To be honest, I was unsure if students would find this appealing, but they "ate it up!"

Now 25 students eagerly volunteered to come back and help lead the ministry next fall - I'm thrilled about what next year will hold!
