I'm off to Penticton

As you read this blog posting, I am on my way to Pencticton, British Columbia until Monday.  Do you wonder why?  Read on:

Our dear friend Gord Pauls is involved in a triple Ironman in Penticton Friday August 27, Saturday August 28 and Sunday August 29.   He will be swimming, cycling and running a total of 678 kilometres in order to raise money for the people of Haiti. If you would like to contribute financially, you can go to http://www.gordpauls.com/ .
Please be sure to pray for Gord, Esther (his wife) and the rest of the crew. Please pray that he will be encouraged and that he will be convinced that he can do this!  Esther remembers Gord saying when he was training for the Chicago marathon, that running long distances is mainly psychological. Yes, you have to train, but you also have to believe that you can swim, cycle and run! Gord has done the training: he can do this and God will continue to be faithful!

During the triple Ironman, you can track Gord's progress at http://www.gordpauls.com/ or http://www.ironman.ca/.
