Example of what Compassion does…………. “Michelle Tolentino, former Compassion-sponsored child and Leadership Development Program graduate speaking in Atlanta”

        We usually get this in Colorado Springs on Halloween.  But the last couple of years, including this year, it has come early.   Gonna have to run on the treadmill today.

Ran 5 miles today, mostly in the rain.  Actually a mist and it felt pretty good.  They are talking snow out here in a few days…ugh.   Had three spectators cheering me on at the end of the run today.  They took some time away from lunch to check me out.

I googled Run for Nets…and I was 5th on the list!  Pretty cool.  Looking to “keep on keepin on”, and pray for a ton of sponsorships.   God bless!

I went to El Salvador last year as a photographer for Compassion. While there, I met and sponsored a child from San Vincente(I think that was the name).

I went online and set up a training schedule that you might have noticed on the calendar in the right column.  Looks like the St Louis Marathon may fit right into the training.  Obviously, I won’t be ready for a marathon, but a 1/2 marathon would be just right.  So, as of now, St Louis [...]

Ah yes..the trusty old treadmill.  Been hitting it hard.  I watch TV when I run on it…pretty much the only time I watch TV, as there is almost nothing to watch nowadays.  Food Network is good watch while running..I know, kind of crazy, but it works.

This is a newspaper article about Dennis from 2007…….   A quiet crop and hog farmer, Dennis Goetz discovered in his mid-40s that international mission trips fed his soul. The African country of Zambia particularly captured his heart. He made three trips there in five years to spread the word of God while working on projects [...]
