Olympic Training

Hello All,

I find it awesome, that God worked two different blog in two different ways. First off PG4Kids wrote on Gold Medal Finish which can be found here pg4kids.blogspot.com/. Dick Gruber didn't know that I was starting on a series dealing with Olympic Training (Lessons in Christian Living). God is awesome how he works things together. I am not amazed by it at all, after all he has been doing it for a long time.

God trained me up in Children's Ministry for a long time. He even lead me to a school where I learned even more. God was training me to be the Pastor/Person he wants me to be. Kind of like how Olympians train at a young age to be as good as they are in sports. Theirs is physical, mine was a spiritual training. I am thankful for the training I received.

Below are two verses I have read recently and have seen in my life:

Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."


1 Corinthians 9:24, "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize."


I will continue to run the race God has for me, just like the Olympians, and just like them I am looking forward to my prize.

2010: The Year of the New

January 2010 saw the beginning of a new decade, year and month. 2010 is a new year. Last month I wrote on having a Happy New Year. Right now, my post for this month, has to do with the current month we are in, February. This marked for me, a new chapter in my life. I just became a children's pastor in Pennsylvania, at a church up north in the borough of Clarks Summit, known as Clarks Green. This will be new for me. I don't know it maybe God, but I feel at peace, I feel like I am at home.

This aspect of my life reminds me of Moses. He was schooled, so to speak, in Egypt, then went back "home", and then came back to Egypt. Where as I was schooled in Pennsylvania, then went back home, and then came back to Pennsylvania. 

Here is to a new chapter in my life, and hoping for a new one in your life. God Bless.
