One of the things that I love doing is looking at pictures from years ago that bring back good memories of events and accomplishments. Now that I don’t do so much, I love remembering the good old days when I did. One of the things that I used to do and don’t do anymore is run. When I was 55, one of my long-range goals was to run a marathon when I was 90, but I will not make that goal. Oh well, it seemed possible when I was 55. This picture shows our daughter Shelly when she and I ran a 10K together in Fairbanks, Alaska, at midnight when I was 63. I ran my last race 7 years ago when I was 69; I also ran that race with Shelly. Even though I don’t run anymore, I can still ride a bicycle, walk, sit in a boat, and reel in fish. One of the things that reading history and reviewing the history of our own lives does is to remind us of the faithfulness of God. Philippians 1:6 says that God began a good work in me and will perfect that beginning good work until I see Jesus. I may not be running anymore, but I am more like Jesus in character now than I was then. We all need to be able to say that confidently. If we want to grow and we work at it, God will make it happen.
