ring.png : Its not about speed but all about endurance & perseverance to cross the finish line. We are not racing to catch up with those ahead & neither are we racing to outpace those behind us. We strive not to lead but to finish the race; to cross the finish line & to fight until the final round. Keep running until you outpace your past & catch up with who God wants you to be.

Ever onward, ever forward! Press On!
