I've recently become something of a runner, and the more I've done it, the more convinced I've become that the running metaphors one finds all over the New Testament work quite well.
1
Most of the time, it feels like work...
But every once in a while, it feels like flying.
2
You can do it alone...
But you'll do it faster and better with other people.
3
If your knees aren’t at least a little bit sore at least a little bit of the time...
You're not doing it hard enough.
4
Somebody will try to tell you that certain clothes are required to do it well.
They're wrong.
5
When people who don't do it see you doing it...
They wonder why the hell you would bother.
6
But they're also just a little bit impressed...
Especially if you look like it's not coming easy to you.
7
It's hard to start...
And easy to quit.
8
If the only time you ever do it is when you’re being chased...
