What this life is about?

James 1:27
Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

So much for all the many blogs

Well, this weekend is over and I was planning to do a lot of blogging but it didn’t work out like that. It was a whirlwind of a weekend. A great weekend though. So, all this post was supposed to be a couple spaced out over the weekend but here it goes.

First, looking back over the posts, I haven’t said anything about a lot that has happened in my life. In April, my friend Chris from the gym at Bank of America entered me into the ING New York City Marathon Lottery. AMAZING! What a humbling thing. I am amazed at the support and love that has been outpoured. Life is amazing because Jesus is so faithful even when I am so faithless. He is Faithful!!!!

In the last two weeks, the Lord has allowed me to take part in 2 different 5k’s… The first one was with a manager from work named Stephanie Elmer. She did great!!! I encourage her to do more

I encouraged runners in the Delaware Marathon. Great times!!! He has been showing me so much through this.

Today, not Memorial Day but the day after, is an opportunity like no other. Kathy, my sister, has contacted NBC10 and they are coming today. They are interested in what motivates me. God, I pray that I can communicate the love of You in such a way that is understandable…

Hi Bro Jonathan,

I am Karl's friend Dave who played with him (guitar) while he sang on saturday night 5/17. Karl gave me your blog address. You are really an encouragement to all us folks bro. I am thankful that you are going to do a marathon. I will pray for your upcoming TV interview. Blessings!

In Christ,
David Booze
