Tomorrow my good friend Dave Pullin and I will be 'gettin in the mud", literally. We are running in the dirty duo adventure race at the Kansas City Speed way. Our team name is "shake and bake". I shared my hopes to complete this race beside my good friend, with no injuries, to over 200 students this past week at the first week of summer camp. I want to thank the many students who are praying for my friends. Thanks for all the facebook messages and texts.
This all came about due to my good friend going through a really tough time. As a friend I have feared I wouldn't know what to say, what to do, or even worse, allow my own emotions to become the center of the conversations during this time. Dave is one of the strongest dudes I know. He is the Director of Technical Ministries at Church of the Resurrection and his leadership through his life and with his staff team is something I have always looked up to!
I look forward to the race. It will be exhausting and thrilling! This race reminds me that God works in unique and even humorous ways. One of the cool elements in this race is the very last element-a 40 ft mud pit. Each team must go through it side by side, and that means one of us will be waiting for the other at the end as we alternate biking and running for 6 miles. The challenge to wait and crawl side by side through the mud seems a great metaphor to what church can be for any of us who are going through a tough time. I love that, and I love the mud, so I'll call it good!
