ALWAYS BE THANKFUL
by Rev. Don Rivers
RACING WITH JESUS MINISTRIES |
Sometimes
in life we face situations that are out of our
control. We are faced with making adjustments and
changing direction because of the decisions of
others. Things do not always go as we planned.
Remember, if we are following God, things will go as
He planned. Greetings in the name of our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ. As Lynda and I drove home from
Motorsports 2012 it occurred to me that the weekend
was very different than the original plans that were
put together. It was different than the contingency
plan that was in place to make adjustments for the
changes in the first plan. It was different than any
plans we had put together, but in the end, it was
good. It was good because it was in God’s hands. It
was good because no matter what the changes were,

EXPECTATIONS
by Rev. Don Rivers
RACING WITH JESUS MINISTRIES |
I
have been teaching through the book of Colossians
from the pulpit at Emmanuel Baptist over the past
few months and thought that might be a good place to
concentrate our Winter Bible Study. This week it has
been placed on my heart to jump right in. What do we
expect from others? What do others expect from us?
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ. Meeting and exceeding expectations has been
a catch phrase in corporate America for some time
now. Everyone wants to meet or exceed their
expectations. Have you ever stopped to think what
that means? I remember a day when a man’s word was
his word. A handshake was all that was needed to
close a deal. You knew that integrity and honesty
were character traits that others possessed....Full

RICHIE PALLAI, JR. RETURNING TO SK MODIFIED®
DIVISION AT STAFFORD
STAFFORD MOTOR SPEEDWAY |
Richie
Pallai, Jr. will return to competition in Stafford
Motor Speedway’s premier SK Modified® division,
racing a partial schedule in a car owned by 7-time
Stafford SK Modified® champion Ted Christopher. What
began as a joke between the two drivers will now
play out into a reality during the 2012 NASCAR
Whelen All-American Series season at Stafford Motor
Speedway with Pallai behind the wheel of the #93
Christopher owned SK Modified®. “I’ve been joking
with Teddy for a while that I would someday drive a
car for him,” said Pallai. “Over the winter, Teddy
got in touch with my father and we ended up putting
a deal together to drive an SK at Stafford. It’s not
too often that a guy like Teddy comes to you and
says that he would like you to drive one of his
cars, so it’s a pretty cool deal. Teddy has top....Full

HOPE
by Rev. Don Rivers
RACING WITH JESUS MINISTRIES |
Sometimes
what we expect and what happens are two different
things. This week’s events have taken us by
surprise. Too many times we think we know what
tomorrow holds and feel secure. When the fact is, we
do not know and cannot control it. Greetings in the
name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As I
prepare to head south for an unscheduled trip I
wondered, in the face of difficult times where do we
turn? I turn to my Lord and Savior. The words of
Billy Graham come to mind, “I don’t know what the
future holds, but I know who holds the future.” I
too know who holds the future; God. When we find
ourselves at a loss for understanding the events of
today we need to turn to God, He knows tomorrow, He
has plans for us; He can deliver us through the
difficulties....Full

HAPPY
NEW YEAR
by Rev. Don Rivers
RACING WITH JESUS MINISTRIES |
A
familiar greeting we give and receive this time of
the year, but how can we assure the year to come
will be happy? What does it take to be happy? How
can we know that no matter what the circumstances
the New Year brings we will be happy? Happiness is
more a condition of our heart than a result of the
events that happen around us. Greetings in the name
of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Have you ever
listened to a post incident interview with the
drivers who were involved? Each driver has their own
view on what took place. Each one saw things from a
different perspective. Sometimes if you listen
closely, you can find a clue as to what decision
triggered the incident. It sounds something like
this; “I thought I could” or “I had the position
but”. That indicates....Full

KEITH ROCCO - FUELING FOR A BUSY 2012 SEASON
KEITH
ROCCO RACING |
|
The 2011 season gave fans across New England a
rock-solid view of the commitment level Keith Rocco
places on his racing. Pushing the asphalt “win-bar”
higher than any racer since Richie Evans or Geoff
Bodine, the Wallingford, Connecticut frontrunner
drove to his sixth Track Championship after winning
more races than any single driver in the United
States. Now, with those thirty-two Victories’ and
the holiday’s tucked neatly in the past, Keith Rocco
has returned to the surroundings where every winning
tally began. “Jeff and I learned early that races
are mostly won in the shop.” said Rocco. “I’m sure
fans will remember our father’s habit of arriving
late for races. People would be baffled because he
was still fast and he could still win. Well it was
all that preparation - all that race shop work.” The
son of recognized racer Ron Rocco, Keith’s career
began in earnest in 2003. Combining effort with
twin....Full
