Missionary Moment
by Tim Batchelor
Run in such a way that you may win. Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. So they do it to obtain a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 1 Corinthians 9:24-25
At Christmas, my mother gave me a box that was full of items from my past including my baby book, my original birth certificate, report cards from my early education, birthday cards from my early years and various other keepsake items from my childhood. Among them were some ribbons that I won in athletic competitions. Those ribbons reminded of the competitions I took part in while in middle school on “field day”. Field day was an event held near the end of the school year where each grade would gather on the field and have track and field competitions. I was pretty good at the middle distances and won the cross-country race in the 6th grade. I had been very close to winning the mile in the 7th grade but lost by a couple of seconds to my friend Joe with whom I ran on the track team.
