Doctrine does Matter

After researching numerous church websites, I am finding that they are not posting more and more their doctrinal beliefs. This is disturbing. The very doctrine of the Gospel Christ died for and the Apostles continued to teach and died for and the reformers fought and died for doesn't matter to most "Believers" and churches. I submit to you that Doctrine does matter. If you do not know what you believe and why you believe it, you will fall for anything. Pastors, preach and teach Biblically sound doctrine. Proclaim it and preach it. "Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee." 1 Timothy 4:16

US Army Fort Bragg 10 Miler

Hello Everyone! Today was a true test for my preparation for my upcoming Marathon in September. Today was my 10 mile run at the US Army 10 mile run on Fort Bragg. It was a race of mixed emotions. It was my first long race since running my first half-marathon back in Nov. 2012. It was also my first race to run with my son Brad. While I was able to keep up with him for the first 5 miles, age finally crept in and at my urging, pushed him to go ahead of me. 

I was able to finish the race in 1:37 with a 9:40 pace. It felt good throughout and the Ft. Bragg MWR put on a great event. I'm already looking forward to next years run. I will experience some matter of soreness, but my biggest problem right now are blisters on my toes. Hopefully, they will heal soon and I can run a short distance on Saturday.

Once again, if you would like to contribute to my running4missions project, you can send any funds to:
