Leaders of  GT4

Good morning! Here we go again on a new day, another gift from God. I've got 2 cups of coffee in me, a better night's sleep behind me, and the day before me. I think I'm ready. Now we wait for life as we know it to end. Wow, the hype is amazing. It does sound like a significant even is on the way, but we'll see.

We have a lot going on this weekend. Our big coat giveaway is going on at church on Saturday. We expect to give away 400-500 coats, along with hats, shoes, etc. We have 2 other churches coming in to help us. It is one of best things we do all year. I hope the weather doesn't stop it. We have some great people organizing and planning everything.

In our gym on Saturday we have the big ReGeneration Store toy sale. Last year we sold $5,000 worth of toys! That's crazy, since most of them are very low priced. Over the last 2-3 days we have moved 3-4 big truck loads of boxes into the gym. Now all the work of set-up begins. We are hopeful the weather will not keep us from having a big day on Saturday.

Yesterday was a really good day. Lots of good things happened, and the weather was amazing. I ran early, and then later in the day, before supper, I got on the bike and cranked out another 22 miles. It was rough heading south into the wind, but I paid the price. The payoff was 9 miles straight north, where it was quite easy to average well over 20 mph. That may have been the last outside ride for quite a while, possibly the rest of the year. I hope not.

Today is prep day. I've got a few other things going on as well, as usual, but it's all good. Thanks for stopping by!
