A Marathon Journey
(May 2012)
Each year there are apparently over 500 marathons worldwide; one has just taken place in London. These are in celebration of the original event when in 490BC a Greek Messenger ran from the Marathon battlefield to Athens to proclaim their victory over the invading Persians. When we hear of or see these marathon races we should remember that we are all taking part in our own endurance race; our own spiritual marathon. READ THIS ENTRY

questions that remind us of our intentions and allow us to monitor progress
as well as adapt to any changes in our personal circumstances.

of Thomas, Jesus asks a lot of questions which forced
his listeners to move beyond the words to a deeper understanding: "he
who has ears to hear, let him hear".
Could these queries be our challenge in the coming year? READ THIS ENTRY
