God is doing an awesome thing in our midst, and their are times when it seems like the dark sucks the light out of life, but then the dawn of a new day adds a new chapter to the story and give us fresh hope, increased vigor, and an unbridled desire to run even further along the course than we first aspired, because faith is the substance of things hoped for, and evidence of things not seen…but beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and so we endeavor to run the races in our lives with endurance…always pressing forward, never looking back, because we know that our sufficiency is not in what was, not in what is, but in what is yet to be.

We might be tired, busted, frustrated, disgusted—-yet, we rise….because rise we must, since the spirit in us never says die, because we are born to live…and live is what we do on earth on borrowed time, and what we will do in all eternity, so rest easy, my for the end is not yet made known to us, and as my youngest son once surmised, “Tomorrow never comes, because wherever we are, it is always today.” Grace, peace, and love be multiplied to you and the family.
