Welcome to REV'D

As I sat patiently watching a train pass I noticed that the majority of the cars had been “tagged” with graffiti. I began wondering why we humans feel so strongly that we must leave our mark on this world. What I came up with is it is because we need to let people know we were here.

Walking through a grave yard I noticed the dates on a tombstone; 1927-1990. For many the mark we leave is the dash between two dates.

Maybe that is what this blog is about . . . leaving my mark somehow.

The Christian Race

Kenyans - Isaac Kimaiyo, Lazarus Nyakeraka and Patrick Nthiwa are some of the top long distance runners in the world today. For years the Kenyans have dominated the sport of long distance running. There are many athletes that can run much faster than these three but few that can beat them in the long run. Their grueling training consists of hundreds of hours of running the mountain sides building up their endurance. Their bodies get conditioned to be able to take the punishment of the race.

We too are runners. Heb 12:1-2 says, “…and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”

Just remember the Christian's race is not a competitive event but an endurance run.
