Let's Finish It
Over the years, I've tried to make it a point to encourage you to take care of the body that carries the soul. Not that I won't continue to cheer us on in the fight for bodily stewardship, but the more I study and grow and fail, the more certain I am that while the body carries the soul, it's the soul that protects the body; not the other way around.
Speaking of souls, the young man standing next to me in this image at the inaugural PrayFit Run is, of course, Jordan Hyde. If you’ve watched “The PrayFit Story” pinned to the top of our Facebook page, you know his impact on my life. It was Jordan who taught me what “faith and fitness” means and what it doesn’t. And it was Jordan who inspired tomorrow’s PrayFit Run a few years ago; a run that has people all across the country putting one foot in front of the other for those impacted by special needs.
Not only that, Jordan starts the race. That’s his job. For the last 3 years - on his command - we walk, run and roll. If you missed our latest video “Any Other Day,” you’ll see some of his finest work. He stepped on his mark, looked right at us and delivered his line. Now it’s our turn to step up to it.
FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM
Tomorrow we finish the job. Tomorrow we finish the work and do what we promised. Regardless of what time you choose to walk, run or roll, I will be on FB and IG LIVE between 7:30-8:00am PST to say hello and to thank you. I may have a few friends join me as well, including our leader Gina Spivey and both our race director and master of ceremonies Troy and Stephanie Thornton. Please log in and say hi, even if just for a minute. If you didn’t get a chance to register, you can still donate to the cause and sponsor these kids.
John Ortberg once wrote, "The soul knows a glory that the body cannot rob. The more the body revolts, the more the soul shines through."
What you do you think, Jordan? Yeah. I agree. I say we finish it.
