“Let’s Get Ready to Rumble!”
You are in a fight! It may even be the fight of your life. It may be a fight for your life. As the noise of the situation you are in is loud, it seems slurred because it’s as if time is slower. You…

Life is Not a Race

Finishing the Race – kenbarnes.us
The Apostle Paul lived well, and therefore, he finished well. Cliff Young, a sixty-one-year-old farmer from Australia, entered the 544-mile inaugural Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon Race in 1983. He showed up for the race wearing overalls, a white t-shirt, and work boots, while the other runners wore promotional running attire. Paul instructed his young disciple Timothy; No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier (2 Timothy 2:4).
