Golf . . . for a cause

I really don't like golf, I feel like it's a sport that someone invented for the pure pleasure of watching someone like me be very very frustrated. Baseball is more my sport, there's a ball and a bat and the goal is to hit the ball as hard as possible, how is that not awesome?? Golf, theres a ball and an awkward shaped club and the goal is to calculate how hard and in what direction you should attempt to move the ball, it almost makes me feel like I'm doing math . . .yuck!! So anyway, I really don't like Golf.

None the less every year YFC does a golf  marathon, 54 holes of golf in two days. ummm, can anyone say torture? However, the goal of the marathon is to raise money in support of our work with YFC. So as much as I hate golf I hate to pass up the great fundraising opportunity that it is. That is why I am INCREDIBLY happy that Nick Comeau will be golfing those 54 holes instead of me. Thank you Nick!! It is still my responsibility however to raise the money for him to embark on this 54 hole endevour that he is willing to do to help me in my work with Youth Unlimited. For the record asking for money . . . also not real high on my list of favorites, but because I believe deeply in the message of reconciliation which has been entrusted to us as Christians, and I believe we have been called to share it and to spread the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ, I will ask. I am so blessed to be able to do this work with Youth Unlimited. I am so blessed also by those of you who believe in this work and our mission. If you would be willing to make a financial contribution towards my work with Youth Unlimited by donating to this 54 hole Golf Marathon (all proceeds go towards my deputation with Youth Unlimited I would very much appreciate it. Please feel free to contact me for me details. If you are unable to make a financial contribution I would still covet your prayers for both myself and the youth I come in contact with this new school year.
