Brothers, too often time and space erode the bonds of brotherhood. People move. Mail gets lost. We forget to call. Emails go unanswered. In an effort to connect us together a bit, this blog is a place to share personal news updates, post photos, ponder out loud, muse on theology, share encouragement, and post news on upcoming gatherings.

Tin Man or Iron Man?
To all the triathletes out there, I competed in my first triathlon a couple of weeks ago and had a blast. It was a 400 yard swim, 12 mile bike, and a 5k run. I beat my goal by five minutes coming in at 1:15:20, finishing 34th overall. I need some work on the transitions as I almost added 4 minutes to my time, but overall feel pretty good about the tri. I am definitely hooked, but I am afraid I might be done for the year due to a recurring knee problem that might need some resting. I know some of you are competing in an Iron Man. I would love to hear how it goes.

Yours Truly,
(The Other) Michael W. Smith

Sorry it has been so long since I had posted anything. I saw the post by Mike Smith and it reminded me. Murph and I are still doing the Ironman in October in Clermont, FL. We will be staying with THE Brian Jerry while we are down there for a week. We will let everyone know how it goes and send pictures. We are going to Evansville, IN this weekend to see Bro. Kyle Dodd and to race up there. Hopefully we will have a good showing and bring home some hardware. We will keep you posted.

Thanks,
