Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Pear Blossom Time

Pear Blossom Run 2009David was able to find some familiar faces in the middle of the 5K. Here, he and Caleb are encouraging Heidi and Robin the final 400M of their 5K.
Part of the church group that showed up for the day! Pastor Dale, Dustin and David before their race. Bill, Anne and Kim after their 5K. Caleb, Hannah and Mason before their 1 mile race.

David at the end of an amazing 10 mile race!
About 1 month ago at a Rotary fund raiser, Bob, a friend of David's, asked him if he was running. David responded that sadly his arthritis had been so flared up at for the last 6 months, that he had not been able to run at all. Bob stated that he would pray in faith every day for David that he would be given the blessing of running again in time for the Pear Blossom. Here you see the end result of God grace on David's health! With only 3 weeks of training under his belt, and most of them extremely short and slow, David was able to complete this 10 mile run in 1:12:41


David got the further blessing of again running with his good friends, Terry and CB. We are talking one happy man. I mean literally he has been shouting for joy!

Thank you God for the overflow of abundant blessings you have showered us with!
He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. 1 Thes. 5:24
