LOL! Thanks, Amy. But, I have the feeling that the dog didn’t really appreciate what she was about to do - by the look on his face. (Tee hee!)

It’s going to be a very busy week coming up - I won’t be online too much. I won’t be MIA - but close! I’ll miss everyone here - and hope y’all behave yourselves. I’ll check in when I can.
Turning in for the night - and will try to sneak a peek at Meg’s wonderful Sunday Blessing!
Be good, (and if you’re not - FReepmail me, and tell me all about it!)
HUGS!!!

Run!
June 12, 2010
In the award-winning film Chariots of Fire, one of the characters is legendary British sprinter Harold Abrahams. He is obsessed with winning, but in a preliminary 100-meter dash leading up to the 1924 Olympics, he is soundly beaten by his rival, Eric Liddell. Abrahams response is deep despair. When his girlfriend, Sybil, tries to encourage him, Harold angrily declares, I run to win. If I cant win, I wont run! Sybil responds wisely, If you dont run, you cant win.
Life is full of reversals, and we as Christians are not excluded from disappointments that make us want to give up. But in the race that is the Christian life, Paul challenges us to keep running. He told the Corinthians, Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it (1 Cor. 9:24). We are to run faithfully, Paul is saying, spurred on by the knowledge that we run to honor our King and to receive from Him an eternal crown.
If we falter in our runningif we quit serving God or give in to sin because of our difficultieswe risk losing a rich reward we could have received had we run our best.
Sybil was right. If you dont run, you cant win.
While running with patience the race for the King,
With obstacles taking their toll,
We slow down to look up for help from our Lord;
He keeps us aware of our goal. Branon
Greater than winning any medal will be hearing the Master say, Well done!
Read: 1 Corinthians 9:19-27
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.
1 Corinthians 9:24
