Hello All from Perth Amboy, NJ!
I have to say, it certainly is great when one achieves a major goal in life. Last Sunday, on the 16th, I was ordained as a Priest in the Ukrainian Catholic Church. I do apologize for not posting sooner, as I was completing final exams and working on last minute preparations for the ordination, but now I look back, after 6 years of formation (funny how it seemed so long, but now those 6 years just FLEW past at mach speed!), and wow . . . what a trip! Does this mean I stop here and lay on my duff? Absolutely not! This means I have to work even harder now and the workload I have is HUGE. But it is a challenge I look forward to tackling (with a little help from God in my case of course!)
And as far as the Iron Game goes? You can certainly bet I am going to continue working HARD to achieve my short term and long term goals regard losing bodyfat, increasing strength and flexibility and so forth. And knowing how victory tastes, I can't wait to achieve those goals - it is such a huge motivator for me! And I can't wait for the thrill to revise and draft new goals to take me to higher heights when success has been achieved. Faith in all of this is what drives me. And I have faith in all of YOU who work hard on the iron. Have faith (even if you don't believe in a higher power, at least believe in yourself) and you too can move mountains, even though the journey towards that goal may seem long, hard, and insurmountable!
Blessings to you all,
The Chaplain
