For though a righteous man falls…he rises again...

Proverbs 24:16 NIV
An unfit but determined 40-year-old schoolteacher decided to become a jogger and eventually entered a Marathon; a full 26 miler! It’s a gruelling test of heart, mind and body. She knew she wasn’t going get an amazing time she just wanted to finish the race; to say she did it! And it wasn’t easy! As she ran huge blisters developed on her feet. She was hit and injured by a bicycle. Several miles short of the finish line she was utterly exhausted, yet she kept going. Then within a few hundred yards of her goal, late at night when most other runners had finished or dropped out, she fell and lay flat on her face too tired to get up. But her friends put a bit of tape across the finish line and began to cheer her on. She lifted her head, saw the tape and realised her goal was within sight. With supreme effort she got back up, and with a burst of energy dredged up from deep within her, ran the last few metres.’
