Lazy Sunday

Another first for our family! We all went down to Lake Nokomis last night (11:30pm) and walked around 1 lap with Pastor as he continued working toward his goal of completing the 24 hour marathon. He wasn't running when we took our shift with him, but the fact that he had been moving since 8am and wasn't supposed to stop until 8am the next day was crazy. You are probably wondering why a 52yo man would decide to do a 24 hour marathon - he is so committed to reaching youth and those who aren't comfortable going to 'church' for Jesus. His goal was to raise $75K to complete our gymnasium - where our congregation plans to use it for outreach, after school programs and make it available for community stuff. He completed 74+ miles and his body did finally give out at 4:30 am. We will learn of the financial status next week, last I check, we were over 2/3 the way there.

WE ARE SO HUMBLED TO BE LED BY SUCH A COMMITTED GODLY MAN. YEAH GOD & DAVE!

As for our family, we made 1 lap and went home to bed (1:30am). It was a first for our children (esp. the time of night) and we all learned that there was no way we would attempt 24 hours. Today we are being extremely LAZY, after we went to church this morning.
