Greetings Dear Reader,
The first scene of Chariots of Fire is of
men running on the beach. The iconic
music and the timber of the scene tells us that these men are running to something. Then there are the scenes in movies where it
is obvious that someone is running from something.
We can tell by the person running whether they are running
from or to something. It sets the tone
for the movie of the scene. It tells us
how to think and feel about the characters involved.
When we are doing the same it is not always as obvious. The scene we set is usually hidden when we
are running from something. Whether it
is a person or circumstance, we try to hide it when we are running. When we are driven by fear, pain, and anger,
we make poor choices about where we are headed.
We are all going somewhere.
We journey from point to point and choose our path and progress. It is up to us whether we run from things or
toward good. All of our choices point
toward our direction and the feelings we embrace. Each choice is moving away from and toward
something.
What I must run toward is that which is not temporal of
based on fear. We must seek that which is
lasting and filled with love. Like that
scene in Chariots of Fire, we will find those who run with us. We can run toward Christ each moment and
support each other in doing it. It is
not a race against each other. It is a
race against seasons and time.
It is our journey to run to not from. It is our place to run this race together. It is my obligation to run well and finish
the course with a heart full of love and grace.
Our destination is always forward.
The only way out is through. The only
way home is to traverse the dark valleys and sunlit fields in faith.
Even when I feel weary, I have the power to keep going if I choose
it. I do not even need to depend on my
own strength. The Father will provide
all I need if I chase the Son and look forward not backward. You are always welcome to run with me, Dear
Reader. We have someplace to go and I
love your company. With each step, we
build it better if we keep our focus.
Pilgrims of passion
we follow the One
Who holds out a cross and a crown
We travel a dark road that has but one Light
For we have here no lasting town
Sometimes we run by the power of His might
On our own, at the best, we can plod
What we hopefully look for is just beyond sight
We are pilgrims to the city of God
The stigma of strangers lost in a strange land
In a fallen world that's not our home
But we are not homeless prodigals here
Because we have someplace to go
Sometimes we run by the power of His might
On our own, at the best, we can plod
What we hopefully look for is just beyond sight
We are pilgrims to the city of God
Behold you have come to Mount Zion
The City of Great King
To thousands and thousands of angels who've come
Assembled to joyfully sing, they sing
Sometimes we run by the power of His might
On our own, at the best, we can plod
What we hopefully look for is just beyond sight
We are pilgrims to the city of God
Who holds out a cross and a crown
We travel a dark road that has but one Light
For we have here no lasting town
Sometimes we run by the power of His might
On our own, at the best, we can plod
What we hopefully look for is just beyond sight
We are pilgrims to the city of God
The stigma of strangers lost in a strange land
In a fallen world that's not our home
But we are not homeless prodigals here
Because we have someplace to go
Sometimes we run by the power of His might
On our own, at the best, we can plod
What we hopefully look for is just beyond sight

We are pilgrims to the city of God
Wishing you joy in the journey,

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every
writer who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a
homeowner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”

Every human story is part of the great story that leads
to the Father getting everything back to Good.
