Finishing Well!

I am in my mid forties and it certainly seems that time moves faster that it used to. For example it is now June - where did the first half of the year go? I suppose the reality is that I as you get older there is smaller part of your life passes by each year. For example when I reached ten years of age the last year I lived was a tenth of my life now it is less than a 40th of my life!

The scary truth is that my son is now 18 (an adult) how did that happen? I have been married nearly as many years as I was not married. I have been worked full time for churches for nearly 10 years (I did a real job before that! - only kidding.)

I am the type of person who not only wants to begin well but also end well. I want to be a person who can look forward to the next 20 years before I reach retirement age and make a difference. To my family, to the churches I work with, to all the kids I see in schools each term.

A marathon runner does not win the race by being first after 5 miles but after 26 miles on crossing the finishing line. I want to run well and finish well - I need God's help to do that, and don't I know it.

To finish someone sent me a great video of the two year old boy who certainly has potential - watch this and remember it is not just starting well but finishing well too!
