Help Get the Word Out

It's been nearly a month since I wrote but definitely not that long since I've run! I mean I have a RACE at the end of August! I'm training hard...pushing the limits...fitting it in all times of day whenever I can. NOT. I'm still running just about once a week maybe twice. Problem is, I know that's "good enough" to be able to endure a 5K. I'm also counting on the swell of adrenaline at a big event. And the accountability of having two other people on the team that I can't let down. I don't know if it's a good thing or not that the running leg is the last of the tri-atholon.

I just set my ipod to shuffle this morning and listened to a variety of songs as I ran. Interesting thing is, I listened to this WONDERFUL song that I decided I wanted to burn to a cd to give to K before he heads off to college...all about God not being finished with me yet and having a plan for my life. Even starts off with being born at the end of July...which is the same for K! But now I can't find the song. I've scrolled through all the artists to see if I can figure it out but no luck. I'll have to look through song titles later to see if anything jumps out.

If someone asked me what is the ONE thing that I wanted to pass along to young people it would be that God loves them, has a plan for them and they'll discover that plan through a relationship with Jesus Christ. That's a plan for the "here and now" and a plan for eternity. That's a plan for how they are to live their life and how they are to treat others. Doing destructive things to your body and mind start to mess up that plan. Good thing we worship a forgiving God.

I think there would be a whole lot less depression and suicide if more kids understood that and really believed it. Will you help me get the Word out?
