Terminator Triathlete II



Over the years I have had more than my share of event disappointments and sometimes I get beat up a bit mentally about it. What comes to mind is the picture of the terminator robot in the movie "Terminator" -I don't remember which one-. He gets blown up, burned up, shot up, mashed, melted, and mutilated. Somehow though his pieces find each other, and the terminator puts himself back together again.

So, here I go again not knowing how this is all going to work out. Like in a "Rocky" movie the fighter Clubber Lang is asked about predictions for the fight. He responded: "pain." Maybe I am a little too comfortable and complacent? Maybe it is time that cushy world to be blown apart and the terminator triathlete find his pieces and come himself together again. Getting beat up and getting back together seems to be the only talent I have. And I get lots of help finding and putting my pieces back together.
because God is in the re-creation business.
Maybe soon I will be almost together again - except for a few loose screws. Like the terminator say, "I'll be baaack."
