Please Come to Boston in the Springtime

Anyone remember that old song by Dave Loggins? You can find the words if you google the line above.....

Anyway, here is a quiz for you all:

Finish this word association as many ways as you can: The Boston __________


OK a helpful hint (you knew it was coming didn't you?)

NOT the Red Sox, Creme Pie, Terrier, Globe, or even Baked Beans....

Give up? The Boston Marathon! Yep, old Dr F qualified today, breaking the required time by over 3 minutes! While I am a bit sore and walking slowly, I feel great! Overall, I finished in the top 7 % of all finishers. So, it's off to Boston "in the springtime".

I am grateful for all of your prayers (most of them were probably that I not kill myself!) and thankful for the privilege of testing my limits beyond what I thought I was capable of. I believe God meets us in that place and helps us, and later will be able to use that for the glory of His kingdom.

I hope and pray that you too will step out in faith to do what you didn't think you could do, asking God's blessing and protection. Try it!
