A Runner’s Thoughts: Let us remember that if we live life on the spiritual path, God is the source of our strength, God is our footpath, and God is the finish line. If we live life consciously, with the intention to move closer to the presence of God, then our movement, the actions of our daily life become a profession of our faith! (Adapted from Roger Joslin, Running the Spiritual Path)

A Runner’s Thoughts: “To be a consistent winner means preparing not just one day, one month or even one year - but for a lifetime.” (Bill Rodgers) I know Bill Rodgers is talking about running, racing, but I also think you can apply what he says to life and to faith.

A Runner’s Thoughts: “We become what we love and who we love shapes what we become. If we love things, we become a thing. If we love nothing, we become nothing.
