Call it mid-life crisis (crisis?) or just a redirection of my focus toward inner passions long removed. Whatever it is, the beginning is surely here. Do not mistake this as tossing away of current longings felt dear for elder things of youth. No, this would be the refining fire removing the wasteful things making room for what was once left aside. All this to say; I was born with a competitive heart and have tamed it over the years. I have raised and am raising a wonderful family alongside an awesome (and beautiful) soul mate- my wife. I work very hard to provide for them and in the daily grind to keep up with the status quo, I left something behind; my drive for competition and the spirit of adventure. It is this spirit that I seek to not only revive, but add to the legacy of my children.
I am currently training to compete in an international division triathlon in Tohoe, CA next summer. Although I have never competed in any running or cycling events (ever) and I am now 42 years old, I will give this as my only warning to others in my division: you better work hard and watch your mirrors, because here I come!
Much of my posts will pertain to that quest.
In addition to this personal and somewhat selfish journey, I am also proudly called to be witness to the greatest spiritual revival in human history. When Jesus said, “These things and more shall you do.” I believe that he meant we were made brothers in the same family. We were no longer slaves to a master and therefore we have all right and privilege to power and spirit that he has.
To this end, all I have to say is: The Unstoppable Revolution has begun.
