Walking

The past two and one half weeks I worked as a UPS driver’s helper. I now have a new appreciation for the number of packages, the number of stops and even the number of steps a driver takes every day. What a job!

I…

• Delivered packages to 204 houses on Friday a week ago and 193 houses on Wednesday.

• Took 17,253 steps on that Friday and just over 13,900 steps on Wednesday.

• That equates to 8.17 miles on Friday and 6.6 miles on Wednesday in 30 yards sprints from the truck to the house or business.

• The steps in and out of the truck equate to ascending and descending about 20 stories per day.

Needless to say, my knees are a bit sore after all this but I am thankful that I was paid to get daily exercise rather than joining a gym!

But this is also good practice. Beginning in January, we will kick off Servant Evangelism Saturdays to go connect to people in our community. At this point, we will be heading to a particularly busy park to hand out bottles of water and share Hope Church with those we meet.

If you want to join us, then let me know and COME ON!!!!!

If you want to contribute to the ministry of Hope Church and buy some water bottles, then send me an email and let me know. We’ll send you the address where you can mail your checks. And yes, we can also accept online donations. Just ask!
