Pressing On

Veterans day: Thank you to all the veterans out there! Especially the pilots! We couldn't have come this far without you all and we greatly appreciate it. May God continue to bless your lives as he has already done so far.
Take a look at this link- it's about a WWII African American Pilot who stood up against segregation. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-15615290

In other news, Here's a verse that sticks in my mind-
Philippians 3:14  
"14I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
 As I suffered through a mini marathon this morning I was reminded of when Paul talks about running to win the prize. Even if you are not in first place, you can still win the prize- the prize of Christ! That he came to earth to save us from our sins and died on the cross bearing our punishment and suffering. So no matter how much you're suffering, we have Christ to thank for saving us from eternal suffering!
