The Run

2009-11-02T16:29:00.000-08:00

November 1st was the Sashiki Shohashi Marathon - 20k.
From TCJ - Tetsuya, Ryuichi, Takashi; Ran - All three were able to make the time limit. Hallelujah... Doing it for the second time
Tetsuya wanted to have an additional challenge for this race he decided to run with a cross. It was a challenge indeed. Tetsuya latter told me that during the run even at the warm up stage his thought went back and forth from weather to run with the cross or not. The reason being it was quit big and rather heavy than what he imagine...The decision was made he started to run the cross got heavier and heavier as the kilometer increased. On occasion he tought of leaving the cross at the water point...some (Obachan) older ladies told Tetsu to leave the cross with them so he can run the race. The battle of the mind... yes it was his decision to do it but like many of us we start some thing and at time is not able to see it to completion.
The battle of the mind is so real...Tetsu did finish the race with the cross time limit being 3 hours and 15 minutes. Tetsu came in 3 hours and 14min...to do some thing to the end bringing it to a finish. overcoming doubt Pressing on...
Good job Tetsu. Ryuichi, Takashi

TCJ has been getting a lot of visitors. The boys are happy to see new and old faces come to give encouragement. Pastor Meilee (Paradise Church) is a good friend from way back. she helped me get into TC Hawaii. Megu on her left is a returnee from the main island of Japan she is a cool person to know she is very Computer literate and speaks her mind frankly not many of those around me at the moment so it is very refreshing to have good sisters in the Lord to talk to. The two ladies came by to say Hi but TCJ was in big need of such people like them God sends people to fill the need of ministry was the lesson I learned this day.
