"Single Moms Ministry Meeting on October 21"
The Single Moms Ministry will be meeting on Sunday, October 21st from 2-3:30 p.m. at the Ministry Center in the Hawaii Room featuring guest speaker, Psychologist Dr. Jan Tanner. The afternoon will have worship, great fellowship, and share with each other their stories. Some of the single moms will then share their testimonies to help others who may have the same struggles.
The mission of the Single Moms Ministry is to help single moms discover how valuable they are to Jesus, their children and the church. It is also their vision to provide a relationship based ministry, helping single moms develop friendships with other women to gain emotional and prayer support while encouraging and equipping them to fulfill their God-given assignment.
Sherry Hutchison is overseeing the Single Moms Ministry under Susie Lam, the Director of Women’s Ministries. Sherry has a heart for single moms drawing on her own experience as a single mom for 21 years. Sherry lived in the Midwest, and her five children ranged in age from 9 years to 16 years when she became a single mom. Working full time to support them, she still made time to attend her children’s school and sports activities. When her children were in High School they each took turns preparing dinner one night a week. Sherry taught all of her children to do their own laundry and household chores, and even now, her boys still do their own laundry, even the ones who are married! Every mom could learn a few things from Sherry's past experiences. Sherry has always had a passion for photography and through the years, she has made albums for each of her children. At family gatherings, these albums are displayed and lots of laughs are shared over the many memories commemorated in those photos.
If you are a single mom, be sure to check out the Single Moms Ministry.

"Hale'iwa Blue"
"Desi I" came in fifth place of eighteen canoes in their division today at the "Blue Makua Long Distance Race" at beautiful Hale'iwa Beach Park.

Was ono-licious!
We sat in da' store so da' bees couldn't attack our cold syrupy sweet treats,

"Mark Your Calendars"
2008 Moloka'i Race Dates
- 9-28-2008 Na Wahine O Ke Kai (30th Anniversary)
- 10-12-2008 Moloka'i Hoe (57th Anniversary)
"Aloha Is..."
Aloha Is...Surrounding a friend's ohana with love, as they deliver their beloved father, husband, brother, uncle's ashes to the sweet embrace of a favorite surfing spot off of Waikiki Beach.
Aloha Is...
Moloka'i Hoe paddlers and support crew members who will set aside a well earned day to rest and recover having paddled and travelled from Moloka'i to O'ahu.
Aloha Is...
All of the hundreds of people who make up the New Hope Canoe Club Ministry, so that HIS light might shine brightly by the things we do and not just say.
Aloha Is...
Pastor Kyle and Kay Lum, and their children Daniel and Sarah, who welcome us home each year during the Na Wahine O Ke Kai and Moloka'i Hoe so that not only might our bodies be well rested before the big race, but that true healing of the body, mind, and spirit will be rejuvenated through our paddle home, and one day to the promise land.
Aloha Is...
"REC" paddlers who form quietly on the sidelines, and wait patiently for their turn to serve and paddle our canoes home so that another might rest easy after the race and enjoy a moment in time which they are not likely to ever forget.
Aloha Is...
Escort boat drivers who brave and battle high surf en route to Hale O Lono from O'ahu, carrying our provisions, and then baking in the hot sun from Friday through Sunday. Arriving on Friday so that they get a slip which will be most accessible for our paddlers to load their gear on Sunday morning.
Aloha Is...
Bus drivers who show up on time, and fellowship with us for a short while over coffee and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and drive us safely to Hale O Lono in pitch black darkness.
Aloha Is...
Paddlers who lift each other up all season long.
Aloha Is...
Living in and amongst good people such as these, in the most beautiful of all places in the world. Hawai'i.
Photos courtesy of Lono Goo, who upon waking up Monday morning, and looking out of his hotel room window saw our canoes at nearby Magic Island.
Congratulations on a great crossing Lono!
"Fab-Five"
Thank you ladies for all of your hard work on our behalf this past weekend.-Moloka'i Hoe NHCC Paddlers

"The Blue Angels"
October 13th and 14thMarine Corps Air Station, Kaneohe
Not sure if the "Fat Albert Airlines" will be in the show or not, but if it is, wowie!
The "blend" of dedication and teamwork exhibited in this picture, was also on display in this past Sunday's Shell Va'a's Moloka'i Hoe Ka'iwi Channel crossing in conditions other than flat water, and smashing their own previous record-setting time from last year to boot!
Congratulations Shell Va'a, congratulations Tahiti!

Coaches, Deckhands & Support Crew Members~
Michael, Shawn, Clay, Ed, Kui, Larry, Colleen, Charmaine, Phyllis, Rhonda, Bernie, and Uncle Hut
There will likely be over 100 crews entered in this year's Moloka'i Hoe, with a special celebration to follow honoring Uncle Nappy's 50th consecutive Ka'iwi Channel Crossing at the Anuenue Canoe Club Paddling Site.
It'll surely be a day to remember.
Come down to the beach and join us in honoring this fine gentleman, and cheer your favorite paddler on as he crosses the finish line for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
This is Hawai'i at its finest.

"One2Dream!"
I first "met" Guy Wilding late last week, on the eve of the Na Wahine O Ke Kai.
As the leader of his crew, which would soon be flying in from Australia, Italy, and San Diego, he was looking for an escort boat, and making sure everything else was solidly in place before next month's Moloka'i Hoe.
The nice thing about this story is that Guy, is a real nice guy.
After getting back from Moloka'i, we "talked story," how much of a blast both of our wives had paddling in this year's race (largest field in its history), and how the journey leading up to the race was as rewarding, and likely more so.
Guy told me that his wife wrote about her Moloka'i race experience to a hometown newspaper in Australia, and I asked if I could share it with the rest of the club.
It's a wonderful letter which exemplifies the heart and spirit of an Olympian.
Our very best wishes to Shelley Oates-Wilding, as she prepares for next year's Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.

"The Final Countdown"
You can feel the excitement in the air, it's "Moloka'i Time!" Or the "Big Dance" as our lovable Coach Cy has so fondly called it over the years.
How blessed we are to live in this place called Hawai'i.
How blessed it is to be able to spend a fleeting weekend amongst people who embody a glimpse of yesteryear and the true "Aloha Spirit."
The people of Moloka'i are one special lot.
While on "The Friendly Island" breathe in the air of people who will smile and wave at you, as if to allow us a glimpse for the brief time we are there, of the way it used to be throughout the entire island chain.
In the past, when time and opportunity permitted, the ocean vista of Kalaupapa is so incredibly breathtaking as to make my eyes well up with tears of joy. If you've never been to the lookout, it's sheer beauty unparalleled.
To our twenty NHCC wahine paddlers who will be flying to, and paddling back from one island to another, and amongst sisters from here and around the world, GodSpeed!
Stay Safe, Stay Strong!
C'ya on the Beach at Waikiki this Sunday afternoon!

"Things To Bring"
- Travel light
- Leave valuables at home
- Wet/Dry bags are a good thing
- Don't squirrel anything away on the escort boat, keep it with your personal belongings, or give it to your coach or boat helper for safekeeping
- Consolidate everything into one bag
- Pack the night before
- Scan your room before leaving for any personal items
- Let your ohana know that cellphone reception on Moloka'i is fair to poor, and in some spots non-existent. Provide them with the retreat's number in case they need to reach you in case of an emergency. It is 479-6835
- Rigging Gloves
- Paddling Gloves
- I.D. & E-Plane Tickets
- Cash
- Pillow Case (old kind which can be donated to retreat upon departure)
- Sheets (old kind which can be donated to retreat upon departure)

- Ear Plugs (the stories I could tell you, shaking walls)
- Toiletries including prescription medications to last until Sunday night
- Paddle
- Sunscreen
- Sunglasses
- Cap
- Pen
- Disposable Camera
"Perseverance"
Hi Uncle Hut,
Can you post today's devotion on our club's blog? It comes at a perfect time. God's timing. As we persevere towards the Na Wahine O Ke Kai and Moloka'i Hoe races. Through the trials and challenges that many have gone through this season, we know that through His grace we all will come out of it a better person, being drawn closer to Him and to each other.
Mahalos,
Gary

"Downtown Paddlers"
I mean come on, you can spot em' a mile away.
Well, especially at this time of the year.
Yup', they are the "Downtown Paddlers!"
Ya' see em' walking down Bishop Street clutching a bowling ball sized container of water (it's likely glued to their hand), their taking humongous swipes from it as if to say "I will burst soon, of this, I am sure."
They walk along side us, and get into elevators with us, and you can't help but say "Na Wahine O Ke Kai?" or "Moloka'i Hoe?"
The pregnant pause (always a little awkward), and ya' think for a sec, "Ouch, she/he must think I'm a kook on the loose!"
Happy to report, I've never been wrong (yet).
"How did you know?" (It's elementary my dear Watson!)
Besides the water bottle, the other tell tale mental notes I've already made is the paddle or really big fish hook pendant they are wearing, a half-eaten power bar in the non-jug hand, and a yesterday sun burnt body which is so fresh as to call out, "Duke's," "Kailua," "Dad Center," "Kona," and "E Lau Hoe." I swear, sometimes I can actually detect the smell of, perhaps a new fragrance which would likely be called "Paddler of Canoe." A whiff of the sweet and salty Pacific Ocean air, and no can wash off suntan lotion.
We exchange the customary-
Supah' Buff Paddler: "Lanikai."
Me Trying To Look Supah' Buff Too: "Oh, right on."
Me: "New Hope."
SBP: "Oh, right on."
Me: "Moloka'i?"
Responses vary, but if that big container of water or their favorite performance drink is still clenched in his/her hand, especially if it still is in the same hand, the answer is always a big smiley "Yes!"
SBP: "You?"
Me: "No, I taking one paddling sabbatical this year."
SBP: "Oh, right on, next year."
The elevator door opens, SBP walks out, and you wish him/her well by saying "Geev' Um," (translation- go and give them heck fella' for we know not what tomorrow will bring), or "Have a great race!"
To all of the Downtown Paddlers, and paddlers coming in from around the world this month and next-
Stay safe, stay strong, and have a great crossing!

"Best Wishes Tiffany!"
Tiffany Thurston (Charlie and Kathy's daughter) just left Hawai'i the other day bound for Ohio, where she will be singing as part of the 2007 GMA Dove Awards Female Vocalist Of The Year Natalie Grant's in-progress and spectacular nationwide tour.
If you have family and friends on the mainland, send em' over to one of Natalie's concerts so they can make Tiffany feel at home when she sees the shaka signs in the crowd!
Right on Tiffany. We will miss your singing here at home.
God Bless!

"Daddy, Daddy, Did You Watch Me?"
It's kinda' funny ya' know, the things that pop into your widdle head for no rhyme or reason sometimes.
Kinda' like one of those distant, happy, and growing hazier-by-the-year thought bubbles I had today.
Calling out to Dad to make sure he knew it was my turn to jump into the deep end of the pool for the very first time. Knowing that I couldn't do it without him watching nearby,
The Sixties. Was it '1965, '66? Seven, may be eight years old. Central Y's pool by the Ala Moana Shopping Center.
Surfacing, no "puka-head," looking for my Dad's face of approval, and proudly calling out probably way too loud "Daddy, daddy, did you watch me?" Dad would usually grimace and shake his head that his son, a Japanese kid, would and could yell so uncharacteristically loud.
Oh well, I looked pure Japanese, but I was hapa-haole. He attributed my gregarious nature to my "haole side."
My dad passed away in 2000.
He never got a chance to greet me, nor I him on the beach after a Kailua to Waikiki, Hawai'i Kai to Nanakuli, or best of all a Moloka'i to O'ahu race.
I wish we had had that experience together. It would have felt real good. I think it would have made his heart smile.
I guess I start feeling these sweet and bygone memories when I make a water change, or see others plunging into the open arms of a welcoming indigo colored Pacific Ocean. Temporarily and totally submerged, enveloped in GOD's hand of protection.
The sweat, pain, and tears all gone and washed away in the blink of an eye. How wonderful knowing that my Heavenly Father is always watching, and loving me. Never leaving my side when I jump into something new or unknown.
Balled up for a moment in the comfort of a fetal position, knowing that when I open my eyes again and lunge for the surface for my first gasp of fresh air, I will see the approval on my Dad's face again in my mind's eye.
That I was able to jump into the deep water because I believed and loved Him, and that I know He believed and loved me too.
