Jimmie Johnson Honors Dads - Part 2

by Chet 10. June 2010 09:21

GOOOOO Jimmie!

Yesterday I wrote about my dad's name being on Jimmie Johnson's race car at the Prelude to the Dream charity race at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. Jimmie led all 30 laps, including the one that won him the race.

Several Children's Hospitals were the beneficiaries of the race, which I think is cool, with the whole honoring dad's thing:

Jimmie didn't have / take time to practice before the race, hadn't been on dirt in a while, and wound up with a bruised and battered car, but he finished strong. Isn't that a lot like fatherhood? You don't get a practice run at being a dad, you hit experiences you have no idea how to handle, and you're going to get hurt by, and probably hurt, those you love the most. But in the end, you accomplish something great.

Good job Jimmie. Good job dads. You've made at least 480 of your sons and daughters proud.

Below are some pictures from the race. You can't read the names on the car, but they are there.

About Me

Chet Cromer

Hey there. My name's Chet. This is my blog. By trade, I'm a computer programmer / network consultant / database administrator / IT superman or fall-guy, depending on the hour. By identity, though, I'm much more than that. I am an adopted son of God, strong and courageous. I have plenty of faults, but they do not define me. I have a past, but it is not my destiny. I have lots of blood relatives, but most of them do not share hemoglobin with me, but rather simply the blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

This is my spot to write. I love writing, but don't do it enough. I run a website called A Walk Through The Word that is also all about writing, but it's more in the context of a once-a-year trip-through-the Bible. This is simply my spot to let stuff out. To vent. To praise. To commentary on whatever it is I want to commentary on.

And so that's that. Read along. Discover who I am and what makes me tick. I hope here that you will find glimpses of a life beyond the shallow world often defined by our careers, relationships, and expectations.

If you'd like to catch me on some other parts of the web, just Google me... there's only one other "Chet Cromer" that I know of, and I think you'll be able to tell the difference. Or you can find me here:
