The Greeks had a race in their Olympic games that was unique. Oddly enough, the winner was not the runner who finished first and fastest. It was the first runner who finished the race with his torch still lit.

I am not trying to outrun others.

I just want to run all the way to the finish line of life with the flame of my torch still lit for Him.
