I see the limits to everything human, but the horizons can’t contain your commands! (Psalm 119:96 MSG) In this world, as long as we humans inhabit this space and time, there will be limits to what we can do - although there are no limits to what we can dream.

The more we allow our 'coach' to help us develop our 'skills' to endure the race, the less likely we are to peter out after even a short run! Are you well on your way? If you have started well, but somewhere along the way yo...
