Our dear friend John teaches Chase’s class at our church and is an amazing runner. He stopped by to see us and gift Chase with the first medal from his first marathon many years ago and this coming Monday, as Chase lays in the MRI machine, John will be on the ground in Boston, running the 2015 marathon. We are so proud of him and are so humbled that he does this in honor of Chase.
“There’s a cloud of witnesses, the ones who’ve run this race, and even louder than my fears they’re crying; ‘Warrior, lift your face, and keep running, keep runnin’, don’t lose hope, don’t you give up now, don’t turn around, you’ve got to find a way to just keep reaching, keep fighting, the pain does not compare to the reward that will be yours, that waits in store for those who just keep running.” A Pilgrim’s Progress, Matt Papa
best of luck to John. amen in Jesus’ name.
Was just praying for you all this morning as God brought you to mind. May you keep running with endurance the race set before you all. What a blessing of fellow warrior runners in every way!
