# 95 Finish Line


Sometimes you have to kick, scream, cry and claw your way to the finish line. The picture above is my son and his friend doing the Battlefrog Obstacle Course. A brutal event designed by Navy Seals. 
Another battle is also being waged in Florida by my brother in law Charles. 
He is in the last week of chemo and radiation treatment. 
I remember well the obstacles involved with these cancer treatments.
As I reflect on these two family members the word determination seems to fit . We must all, at many points in our life look at the road ahead, set your jaw, put your head down and go THROUGH IT.
Not around it; not, lets just figure a way out of it; just determine that you are going to do it.
Then do it.

Whatever finish line lies in front of you today remember that God is always with you. Keep fighting! We are praying for you Charles!


Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and loving kindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
