He suggested in that message a rather radical notion: to actually quit running for yourself and let your running be a means of worship to the Lord.

National champions spiritually as well as physically. As I develop the skill of my event, I learn patience; as I practice patience, I learn the principle of progression which is similar to rhe maturing process I expel." ence in the Christian life. As I faithfully subm* myself to the daily rigors of practice, I learn t importance of diligence and dedication. Bur most importantly of all, I can be assured that in all of thisI, can bring glory to my Lord. Tim Waite in this group include McGillivray, Fratus a Mohr.
