And ...we 're back!!

Hey dad! Sorry -- this week was the week from hell if you know what I mean. Parent's Night, Back to School Dance, Retreat Leader Trainings... it was just a lot and I was so wiped out every day! I'm sorry. I won't neglect this again, because it is *so* important. You HAVE to stay focused.  You have come SO FAR -- it's not an option to turn back around and reverse your course.  KEEP GOING.

Be like your pal, St. Paul:

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever (1 Corinthians 9:24-25).


Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith (Hebrews 12:1-2).


Prayer for staying the course:
“Lord, you know my strengths and weaknesses. You also know that I desire to be with you now and for all eternity. Come, Jesus, and fill me with your strength and your courage. Lord, I want to persevere in running and finishing the race with you!”
