Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we'd better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he's there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!

Ready to go again
Well we are in Sarnia again, ready to cross the boarder in the morning. Sandra's body has mostly recovered from last week only to do it over again. Please pray for Sandra's stamina and progression in her healing. Mike
Back from the cottage now and just catching up with all your news. I will also pray for an extra special blessing this week, that our God will again go before you, and grant you all the strength and stamina that you'll need Sandra. Hold on to him both of you.....he truly is guiding your steps, and holding you all as a family real close. You are in the palm of his hand, and in my prayers.....Val.
Hey you guys! Ron & I are in Chelsea, MI on our way home from dropping Katie off at New Tribes in Jackson. We are spending the night here. We would love to stop in and see you in Detroit! Can we do it?? We are about an hour from Detroit right now. If you get this.. let us know... otherwise we'll just show up and if it works it works. -Ann
