A Runner’s Thoughts: “And here the first word that I wish to say to you: joy! Do not be men and women of sadness: a Christian can never be sad! Never give way to discouragement! Ours is not a joy born of having many possessions, but of having encountered a Person: Jesus, in our midst.” (Pope Francis)
A Runner’s Thoughts: If we approach the living of life each day as a pilgrimage and believe that the realizations of our goals of this lifelong pilgrimage happen with each step taken, then we are truly wandering down a sacred path. Our days become holy. If we live with a sense of the sacred in our heart, we transform the earth beneath our feet into holy ground. If we live with the intention to find God, then we become pilgrims. If we have the pilgrim’s sacred intention then we change a simple, humble day in life into “God’s day!” (Adapted from Roger Joslin – Running the Spiritual Path)

A Runner’s Thoughts: “We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.” (Dietrich Bonhoeffer)
