God is Good...

Come on, say it with me, "ALL THE TIME!" :)

Okay this has been a TOUGH week. I am travelling with two senior managers this week, trying to close a deal, and if you have been there, you will know the pressure, follow-up work, "servanthood" that I have to put up with. Worst of all, I will only get back to Singapore Saturday evening, effectively cutting my precious weekend in half. :(

BUT...

God is good! I managed to squeeze in 2km of swim drills before I flew off to Hong Kong:
  • 10 X 27.5m = 275m front crawl warm up
  • 4 X 27.5m X4 = 440m kicking drills (with kick board)
  • 4 X 27.5m X4 = 440m chicken wing (single arm pull/recovery)
  • 4 X 27.5m X4 = 440m catch up (with hand paddles)
  • 20 X 275m = 550m front crawl tempo

God is good! I got my paws on the beautiful black iPOD nano in Hong Kong. I got the exchange rate wrong - it ended up costing about the same as in Singapore. ;) But I am so stoked that I managed to rip a few long segments of my favourite Christian Music Internet Radio segments and they sound fine on the iPOD! Now to get it "water-proofed" so I don't kill it with my sweat.

God is good! I even managed to squeeze in a run this morning at the gym.

God is good! Turned on the TV in the hotel room and managed to catch the 2006 St Croix 70.3 - how cool is that? Ol' Nitox is too cheap to have cable at home so it is indeed a treat to catch some Tri action on TV. :)

Another testimony of God's grace enabling me to get through a trying time. PRAISE GOD!

Until next time, keep those podcast, Internet Radio, streaming/download music tips coming, train safe and God Speed!

You will LOVE the iPOD. Get yourself an Otterbox for it! They are 100% waterproof, sweatproof, dropproof, and nearly indestructible.

woohooo an IPOD. I told hubby I want the neon pink one for Christmas. Good job on the swim.

God is always good to us. Sometimes, the challenge is for us to see HOW he is being good to us.

Often, we see God challenging us, or allowing "bad" things to happen. Keep Job in mind and remember that God is always there, and has only good in mind for us. Sometimes, we lose sight of the good from God in the midst of all the clutter of life.

Glad you got that iPod. I'm sure you'll put it to good use. I have an MP3 player and am now considering iPod options.

ALL THE TIME!!! Whether we realize it or not.

Nitrox,

He's good, indeed!

If you're like me you'll wonder what you ever did before getting your iPod. It's more than a gizmo it's almost a way of life.

Did you see me on the St. Croix 70.3 broadcast? ;-) I raced it for the second year in a row.

Stay tuned...
