Was cleaning up my folder and passed by this video. Lazy to upload so i just took it from youtube :) here you go. Read about it first before you watch it. If you are watching already before reading this. PAUSE..! :)
------------------------------------------ (courtesy of Sports Illustrated)
Eighty-five times he's pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles in Marathons. Eight times he's not only pushed him 26.2 miles in a Wheelchair but also towed him 2.4 miles in a dinghy while swimming and Pedaled him 112 miles in a seat on the handlebars--all in the same day.
Dick's also pulled him cross-country skiing, taken him on his back Mountain climbing and once hauled him across the U.S. On a bike. Makes Taking your son bowling look a little lame, right?
And what has Rick done for his father? Not much--except save his life. This love story began in Winchester , Mass. , 43 years ago, when Rick Was strangled by the umbilical cord during birth, leaving him Brain-damaged and unable to control his limbs.
"He'll be a vegetable the rest of his life;'' Dick says doctors told him And his wife, Judy, when Rick was nine months old. ``Put him in an Institution.''
But the Hoyts weren't buying it. They noticed the way Rick's eyes Followed them around the room. When Rick was 11 they took him to the Engineering department at Tufts University and asked if there was Anything to help the boy communicate. ``No way,'' Dick says he was told. ``There's nothing going on in his brain.''
"Tell him a joke,'' Dick countered. They did. Rick laughed. Turns out a Lot was going on in his brain. Rigged up with a computer that allowed Him to control the cursor by touching a switch with the side of his Head, Rick was finally able to communicate. First words? ``Go Bruins!'' And after a high school classmate was paralyzed in an accident and the School organized a charity run for him, Rick pecked out, ``Dad, I want To do that.''
Yeah, right. How was Dick, a self-described ``porker'' who never ran More than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles? Still, he Tried. ``Then it was me who was handicapped,'' Dick says. ``I was sore For two weeks.''
That day changed Rick's life. ``Dad,'' he typed, ``when we were running, It felt like I wasn't disabled anymore!''
And that sentence changed Dick's life. He became obsessed with giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. He got into such hard-belly Shape that he and Rick were ready to try the 1979 Boston Marathon.
``No way,'' Dick was told by a race official. The Hoyts weren't quite a Single runner, and they weren't quite a wheelchair competitor. For a few Years Dick and Rick just joined the massive field and ran anyway, then They found a way to get into the race Officially: In 1983 they ran another marathon so fast they made the Qualifying time for Boston the following year.
Then somebody said, ``Hey, Dick, why not a triathlon?''
How's a guy who never learned to swim and hadn't ridden a bike since he Was six going to haul his 110-pound kid through a triathlon? Still, Dick Tried.
Now they've done 212 triathlons, including four grueling 15-hour Ironmans in Hawaii . It must be a buzzkill to be a 25-year-old stud Getting passed by an old guy towing a grown man in a dinghy, don't you Think?
Hey, Dick, why not see how you'd do on your own? ``No way,'' he says. Dick does it purely for ``the awesome feeling'' he gets seeing Rick with A cantaloupe smile as they run, swim and ride together.
This year, at ages 65 and 43, Dick and Rick finished their 24th Boston Marathon, in 5,083rd place out of more than 20,000 starters. Their best Time? Two hours, 40 minutes in 1992--only 35 minutes off the world Record, which, in case you don't keep track of these things, happens to Be held by a guy who was not pushing another man in a wheelchair at the Time.
``No question about it,'' Rick types. ``My dad is the Father of the Century.''
And Dick got something else out of all this too. Two years ago he had a Mild heart attack during a race. Doctors found that one of his arteries Was 95% clogged. ``If you hadn't been in such great shape,'' One doctor told him, ``you probably would've died 15 years ago.'' So, in a way, Dick and Rick saved each other's life.
Rick, who has his own apartment (he gets home care) and works in Boston, and Dick, retired from the military and living in Holland, Mass. , always find ways to be together. They give speeches around the country and compete in some backbreaking race every weekend, including this Father's Day.
That night, Rick will buy his dad dinner, but the thing he really wants to give him is a gift he can never buy.
``The thing I'd most like,'' Rick types, ``is that my dad sit in the chair and I push him once.''

Bob Fitts was Awesome :) Worship was awesome.. T'was a night of sweet worship. God truly is omnipotent. The fragrance of worship was lingering all around the congregation. Awesome. (all this happened on friday night yeah :].)
Went to his seminar today :) taught so much. made us realize who we are and what we're supposed to do as a worshiper. Thank God for someone as such. He is truly a blessing to all our lives. Everything that happened in church in these two days are just plain awesome. Is it just me..? Or do i sense the breakthrough that is yet to happen. All glory to God. Amen..

PRAISE IS THE WAY WE SAY THANKS :D -----------
some part of me really is black after all. can't seem to reject gospel songs. Gahhh, how now..?
----------
Lyrics: There's a praise on the inside That I can't keep to myself A holler stirring up From the depths of my soul So excuse me if I seem a little giddy Or maybe even strange But praise is the way I say thanks
There's a praise on the inside That I can't keep to myself A holler stirring up From the depths of my soul So excuse me if I seem a little giddy Or maybe even strange Praise is the way I say thanks
Let it bring forth the sound From your heart, filled with gladness All ye lands make a joyful noise Let the songs of David live forever Because praise is the way I say thanks
Praise is the way we say thanks There's a praise on the inside That I can't keep to myself A holler stirring up From the depths of my soul So excuse me if I seem a little giddy Or maybe even strange But praise is the way I say thanks (repeat)
Let it bring forth the sound From your heart, filled with gladness All ye lands make a joyful noise Let the songs of David live, forever Praise is the way I say thanks (repeat)
There's a praise on the inside I can't keep to myself A holler from the gut...
