A Runner's Thoughts: God does not wait at the finish line; God is constantly with us in all things and all people. As we run, walk or move through life another way as we live, our task is simply to recognize that fact and hold it with us!
A Runner’s Thoughts: “As a runner, you have to face the truth about yourself on a regular basis, and it makes you more honest. You can't pretend to be faster than you are. You can't pretend that you are better prepared than you are. You cannot pretend to be a runner, you actually have to run.” (John Bingham) So to in the spiritual life… You cannot pretend to be a person of faith, you actually have to live your faith!
A Runner's Thoughts: Our journey through life, like our running, our walking or our moving through life another way contains elements of challenge, difficulty, and pain...Our journey through life like our running, our walking or our moving through life another way hurt, often wounds and calls on us to rise above conditions that seem beyond what we are capable of doing!
A Runner's Thoughts: God does not wait at the finish line; God has entered the race, God is constantly with us in all things and all people. As we run, walk, or move through life another way, as we live, our task is simply to recognize that fact and hold it within us!
A Runner's Thoughts: Some days running, walking or moving through life another way is effortless, other days it is a struggle. Which of the runs, walks or movements through life another way is most fruitful? Both are fruitful, because the first brings us enjoyment, perhaps we might say these runs, walks or movements through life another way are little gifts from God. The second kind of run, walk or movement brings us struggle that makes us more aware of the need for God in our life and so we work, we struggle to find that presence!
A Runner's Thoughts: “Every day is a fresh start; don't measure yourself by yesterday's troubles.” (Dagny Scott Barrios) So always run, walk or move through life another way with imagination and see as you go that God is running, walking or moving in another way towards you!
A Runner’s Thoughts: “I don't think about the miles that are coming down the road, I don't think about the mile I'm on right now, I don't think about the miles I've already covered. I think about what I'm doing right now, just being lost in the moment.” (Ryan Hall) As Jesus tells us today in the Gospel it is the same with faith. We don’t think about the past or what might happen ahead of us. We live in the present moment and find God there! So, as we run, walk or move through life another way today let us do it in the moment.
A Runner's Thoughts: Always run, walk or move through life another way with imagination and see as you run, walk or movement as God is running, walking or moving towards you!
A Runner's Thoughts: “Fear of trying causes paralysis. Trying causes only trembling and sweating. (Mason Cooley) "Happiness is an inexpressibly misleading and temporary thing, decides nothing; the true stations of joy are on the road which lies through simple endurance." (Rainer Maria Rilke)
