Who's your boss?

This is what we discussed at the morning's chapel. Paul wrote in Colossians, that we are to do everything as if the Lord was our boss. Paul wrote to Timothy to tell him that Christian slaves were to respect their masters especially if they were believers. So what is our attitude? How is our work ethic? Who are you working for? Could it be that the way present ourselves has a profound way that non-believers see God? Absolutely... Live as if Jesus himself was signing your daily timesheet...

There's more than corn in Iowa!

Racing! Neat track. Very nice people. Safe day today! Chapel tomorrow at 9:00!

Iowa this weekend!

I will be at Iowa Speedway this weekend with the Star Mazda series. Chapel is Saturday at 9:00 am at the Star Mazda transporter. If you are at the track, stop by for the service!

Pray for a safe weekend and that Christ will be honored and glorified!

Can you pray while you drive?

Can you pray while you drive? I was asked this question as I was driving to Methodist Hospital with a family member of a driver who was injured in a scary crash at Lucas Oil Raceway last Saturday night. During that anxious moment, we did not know the condition of the driver. So as I drove, I prayed. Out loud.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to do just that; "pray continually". This does not have to be a verbal prayer, but an attitude of prayer; a constant dialogue with our heavenly Father. Lifting our thoughts and requests to Him and laying them at the feet of Jesus.

We thank God that this driver was released later that evening with no injuries. God wants to hear from you. Have you prayed today? Are you praying now. Do you pray continually?

Night before the 500!

Both the USF2000 and Star Mazda series are racing tonight at Lucas Oil Raceway. Special thanks to the Rocklane Christian Church praise and worship team who lead worship today in our chapel service! It was an awesome time of sharing and worship! "What shall we do" was the title of today's message. When Peter spoke just after the Holy Spirit dwelt among the people, they were moved to the point of action... What shall we do?, they asked. Repent and be baptized.....  Thousands surrendered their life to Christ that day. What shall we do? What will you do?

Thank you for your service....

Someone told me that today. I had just listened to the story of his cousin who had died today. I was there to listen. I did not have any prophetic words to offer. No real advice. Just listened.

How often do we do that. In the middle of our day, stop, listen, and share the compassion of Christ. How often should we do that. How often did Christ do that. Listen. Care. Love.

What are you doing?

Lonestar "JR" Johnny Rutherford Award

The trophy for the Lonestar "JR" Johnny Rutherford award was unveiled today at a press conference today at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The trophy will be handed out to a person who represents character, integrity, and leadership at the annual Indy 500 Breakfast held on 5/26. More details are available at www.Indy500breakfast.com!

Are you clergy?

I was asked by a fan in St. Pete as I walked through the paddock area if I was clergy and if I could take a prayer request for someone. I said sure! He proceeded to tell me about a woman that has in-operable cancer and will die soon. I wrote down her name and asked him how he knew her. He said, "She is my wife".

I asked if I could pray with him. He agreed. As I prayed for her healing either here on earth or when she reaches heaven, he began to cry. As I ended my prayer, he gave a bear hug with tears flowing. I whispered in his ear, "It will be OK. And if you have faith in Christ, you will see her again". As we parted ways, he was still crying at his impending earthly loss.

We are all "clergy". It does not have to say "ministry" on your shirt to share the love and hope of Christ. Go ye therefore...

Are we going to have a morning prayer?

This was asked of me this morning by a staff member. I said absolutely! So we joined hands with another staff member and I prayed for safety and that through our work here today that it would bring glory to our Savior, Christ Jesus!

Have you prayed today?

Sebring "In the books"

Congrats to the Cape Motorsports trio who completed top 3 in all three races the past two days at Sebring. Special thanks to almighty God who kept all the competitors safe!

Next event for the USF2000 Winterfest is the Palm Beach International Speedway this weekend!

Thank you for what you do....

With tears in her eyes, a mother of one of the drivers thanked me for praying with her son prior to the race today. He has been questioning faith issues lately. She could not believe he wanted to pray. God's timing is impeccable. God's will is perfect. God is God... We forget that from time to time...

Thanks for your support!

USF2000 rolls out at Sebring!

The USF2000 Winterfest is underway at Sebring! Pray for a safe week for all involved!

My 3 Cents Worth

At the car show last weekend, a gentleman stopped by our booth to look at the car and some printed material we had on our table. I notice he reached into his pocket and put 3 coins in our donation box. I jumped up and grabbed a devotional and caught up with him, gave him the devotional, and thanked him for his donation. I discovered later that it was 3 pennies. We will never know if that was a sacrificial gift from him or not. Referring to the woman who gave all she had, Jesus said in Luke 21:4, "All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” Meaning, it is not the size of the gift, but the condition of our heart. How is your heart towards God today?

Road to Indy at IMS

The USF2000, Star Mazda, and Indy Lights series are testing on the IMS F1 track today and tomorrow!

Rock and Roll Car Show!

INDYCAR Ministry was at the Rock and Roll Car Show today at the Community Church of Greenwood. The organizer of the show, Garry Gilbert, ask me to open the show with a moment of silence and prayer out of respect for Dan Wheldon. Special thanks to Fred and Jim from Indian Creek Christian Church who served as the "pit crew" for the show car today!

Dan Wheldon will be missed

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dan Wheldon's family and friends and all the INDYCAR Series family.

Final Star Mazda Event this Weekend at Laguna Seca!

Christ has already won the war!

With 4 races and 4 winners in today's races, no driver was assured victory before they started the race. We covered the first part of Ephesians 6 today in chapel. Although we are preparing for spiritual battle, rest assured that Christ already has the victory secured. We can go into battle knowing the our ascended Lord has conquered death and the grave and therefore, brought victory to His followers! Rejoice!
