This is a busy weekend for school administrators in Kansas. It’s high school state track, softball, baseball weekend. Every Memorial Day weekend (past 13 years) I have taken the two hour turnpike trip to Wichita and watch our kids compete at the state track and field meet. My high school principal will watch our girls in Manhattan at state softball for the third consecutive year.
My favorite event at the state track meet is the 3200 meter run (2 mile) on Saturday morning. It takes about three hours to run all 6 classes of boys and girls but I have seen some great runners the past few years. These young people display great determination and endurance in sometimes very difficult weather conditions.
Every Sunday, I also see a great group of runners. Those that meet at the corner of Huntoon and College in Topeka, at the Central Church of Christ. We all have our obstacles and tough times but we keep our eyes on the prize and run toward that great reward.
1 Corinthians 9:25-27
"Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others; I myself will not be disqualified for the prize."
