New training program

Jun 10, 2008 2:00 am by Paul Jenkins in 704, Running, Sports

I finished up the Couch to 5K program last week, so it was time to find a new challenge. I looked at quite a few that sounded good, but right now I just need to build up my base miles. So far, I’ve run a bit over 61 miles in just over 2 months. I need to get up around 15-20 miles a week, and right now I’m somewhere around 9-10. So (drumroll, please)…

…today I started the One Hour Runner (scroll down a bit to see the program). In 10 weeks, I will log a one hour run, which should be somewhere between a 5 or 6 mile run. I ran for 33 minutes tonight, which was cool, but the coolest part was what I saw during my run. To find out what it was, you’ll have to jump over to the 704 blog.

I had an Awakening

Jun 10, 2008 1:52 am by Paul Jenkins in 704, That Youth Thing

Had a great time hanging out over at The Awakening, the youth ministry at Memorial Baptist Church, Sunday night. Thanks to David for letting me come speak to the group about 704 and homosexuality (not that the 2 are related except for the “o” sound in both). David’s got a great group of teens out there who got to watch me sweat somewhere around a gallon of the salty stuff while I spoke. Yeah, it was weird. Don’t quite know what was up with that, but the good news for the youth on the front row is that my pores aren’t smaller or else I would’ve SQUIRTED on them. I know they were relieved.

It’s not every youth group that allows a speaker to talk about homosexuality without laughing and giggling nervously and the fact that they didn’t just shows the level of ministry that David’s building out there. I was impressed. I was also thankful for the chance to get a youth group talking about 704 and giving us their ideas about what would be good in the youth center. To see what they came up with (including a great idea that will never happen), visit the 704 blog.

Cling On!

Jun 4, 2008 9:50 am by Paul Jenkins in 704, That Youth Thing

The first of 5,000 704 Static Clings goes on Jennifer’s car last night during our prayer and planning meeting for 704. It was a great day – the clings came, our 704 banners arrived, and we really honed down our presentation which we’ll be giving a couple of times over the next few weeks. It all starts tonight at Second Street Presbyterian in Albemarle, NC.

Make sure you’ve got The 704 Blog bookmarked. It’s a great way to stay informaed about what’s happening with The 704 Project.

The best Flight Attendant EVER!

Apr 22, 2008 7:53 am by Paul Jenkins in 704, That Youth Thing

Ernestine with United

Ernestine was our Flight Attendant on our first flight of the trip. She kept us laughing the whole way from Greensboro to Washington, DC. Her best line came as we were taxiing out to the runway. We had been delayed a bit and so the pilot was obviously in a hurry to get us off the ground, so he was rolling out pretty fast, and she stumbled walking back to check on all the passengers. At one point, after a pretty hard right turn, she looked at us and said, “He’s trying to kill me.” Not very comforting words from the Flight Attendant just before take-off.
