What Would Happen If...

Dear Friends,

What would happen if you started hitting golf balls as hard as you could without stretching or warming up? I now know the answer now. You pull your back. Fortunately this injury only affects my golf swing and not my ability to stay active. However, it has been hard to not hit the green this week. The driving range will not be open forever and I am eager to work on my swing again. Anyway, our Bible Study this week finished the movie "Facing the Giants". The movie really challenged the faith of a lot of the guys who saw it. I want to try and use that conviction to get more of them in the Word so that they can apply their faith. It is funny how many of them are comfortable coming out to a Bible Study every week, but they don't get in the Bible daily. I couldn't imagine a day without God's Word anymore than I could a day without food or water. It has become that noticeable to me.

The weather here is still strangely warm during the days. There are still some cold nights but nothing unbearable in comparison to the winters of Washington or especially the MidWest. I still love to go relax under the stars at night...despite the violence of the land, you can't take the peacefulness out of its night skies. Obviously the U.S. will always be home, but I am doing well here. Thanks for all your continued support, letters, and prayers. I'll write again soon. Bye!

A couple quick golf tips...

1. Definately stretch first

2. Don't lean so far forward. You want to stand more straight up and allow your arms to hang straight down, don't put them out in from of you like you have in the picture below.

3. Swing as hard as you can at the ball, it makes it go farther.

Well at least listen to the 1st 2 suggestions.

Praying for you,
Brad
