Running the Race


Today we got up early to run the 5K in downtown Birmingham with our 2 sons, Evan and Eric. We also had Natalie and Terry on our team as well. We were supporting Horizons School plus making a great memory of an exhilarating morning. Jogging through the downtown streets that had been packed with cars only the night before when we took the trolley to the Art Museum was awesome! Now the traffic was all humans pounding the pavement.

The joy in a journey well done was celebrated with the group in the afterglow of the RUN!
Some of the runners had this verse on the backs of their T-shirts.

"... let us run with determination the race that lies before us. Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end... because of the joy that was waiting for him, he endured the disgrace of dying on the cross, and is now seated at the right side of God's throne."
Hebrews 12:1b-2
