Stairclimber Can I do a little boasting? I hope you don’t mind a bit of bragging. I have to share it for it was one of my greatest accomplishments. Why next to my ordination it was probably one of my biggest thrills. I set the record for the most floors on the stair climbing machine at “Too Your Health” gym. That’s right I have the record! I did 150 floors in 30 minutes. Now if you don’t think that is a big deal then I challenge you to try it. That stair climber is not for the timid; it is an intense workout. Twenty minutes on that machine is like double on the treadmill. I not only set the record, but I believe I am the oldest person who uses that machine. Take that you young whippersnappers! Age is not an excuse. When I look at our parish I see an army of volunteers, better yet disciples who are ready to do the Lord’s work. I see so much good will and sacrificial labor already. I just want to build on that foundation. We have our mission field before us and we are going to bring others to Christ. We will love them and lead them to Jesus. I don’t care how old you may be we all can all do our part. Bringing people to Christ is far better than even climbing 200 floors on the stair climber. Leading others to Christ is our “Stairway to Heaven”! Love Fr. Tom
