Her name is Suzy Favor Hamilton and she ran in the women’s 1500 meter final. She didn’t win the race, or come in second or third. Actually, she collapsed 75 meters from the finish line and then staggering to her feet managed to continue on.
She barely made it and had to be taken off the track slumped in a wheel chair. She had not won, but then again, she had. She had completed her goal - she had finished the race.


The Apostle Paul talks about finishing the race.” He doesn’t say, “I have won it” but he does say “I have finished the race…” And he added one thing more. “I have kept the faith.”

That is what we are asked to do. Run and walk and stumble and fall and rise again…and keep on moving forward…and be able to say at the very last, “I never quit. I kept on keeping on.

In short, work hard at developing a stronger “will” and a weaker “won't.”
Nor should you fall in love with a parking spot when the whole wide wonderful world is so full of opportunities…and yes…remember…the secret to success is learning how to fail.

And may I ask a question, “Have you tried to climb any mountains recently? I thought not. But that is not the point…climbing a few steps on the stairs is better than no climbing at all.”

And then there is my favorite when things get rough and you start giving up…”When you get to the end of your rope, tie a know in it and hang on.”

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. “
Galatians 6:9 KJV

Quote from tomorrow’s One A Day blog entitled GET IN THE HABIT OF DOING THE RIGHT THING

“Don’t put doors where there should be walls and walls where there should be doors.


Be a giver rather than a taker. Generosity gives you a spiritual backbone that selfishness will never give you.”

“Do you enjoy visiting friends? More than likely you’re thinking, Preacher, of course, I do.

Now let me ask the other side of the coin - Do you enjoy visiting enemies? No?
Well, I know you must enjoy visiting at least one enemy because, like myself, you probably visit this one quite often. Unfortunately, we all …visit this enemy…whose name is anger.

Some visit anger seldom . Some on a regular basis. And during those visits, some spew and others stew.”
