Although you might be
thinking of "Stop. Drop. Roll," this blog is not intended for fire
safety, but rather the inspiration to conclusion account of a strange (but
awesome) journey.
The story begins with two quirky and charismatic church small group leaders turning a teasing game into a competition. (which, honestly, aren't all youth workers just slightly off their rockers?!) Meet *Summer, an outspoken and verbally proficient young woman who has a penchant for running, debating, and travel. The other co-star is merely titled the "Hulk," who, though resembles the Hulk in stature, possesses an infectious laugh, a determination level like no other, giving nature, and is quite the family man with his wife and two boys.
The setting is the Harbor, which serves as a playground, worship arena, and small group area for FCC's junior high and high school youth program.
Enter a vibrant young vocalist, Summer’s co-leader, who awes the two with stories of her sky-diving.
"I would NEVER go skydiving," Summer emphatically declared.
"Come one!" Hulk cried. "You would never go skydiving? It's such a rush!" he trailed off with a giggle. He continued to berate her good-naturedly.
"Ok!" Summer pounced back competitively. "I'll go skydiving if you run a marathon." this will never happen in a million years she thought smugly.
"Deal!" Hulk intoned. "I need to get back in shape. Never mind I haven't run since high school."
Handshake.
And so the saga to run the Rock'N'Roll Marathon in March 2013 began with a snowball effect: others began signing up to embrace the game and join the awesome journey. The ultra-runner with hundreds of miles under his belt; the short blonde with quirky drive; the goofy Pastor of Students; all signed up with excitement and relish.
Now the questions remain:
Will the Band Ninja who leads worship and possesses unique hair products take on the challenge, with his entry fee paid by his doubting co-worker?
Will any students mount up the courage and commitment to run the marathon?
Will Summer be able to face her fears, conquer her end of the deal, and jump out of a airplane?
Will the Hulk press on with his training in order to dance/run his way to the finish line and accomplish the challenge that Summer North gave to him?
The questions remain, only to be answered with the passing of time. Let's ROCK, ROLL, DIVE!!!!!!!!!!
