What Defines You?


26.2!  




I did it! (though not as fast or with as much finesse as I would have liked).  Over the past year running has been a big part of my life and has been part of what defines me as a person.  If you were asked to talk about me, running would most likely be part of that.

How else would you define me?   Die hard Steeler fan?  Hopefully you would add "Devoted husband and father" and  "Committed follower of Christ"  The definitions you use and the order that you use them say a lot about who I am more than what I can say about myself, because that is what I show to others as being the priorities in my life.  If I said I was a "runner" but all you ever saw me do was eat junk food and sit in front of the TV all day would you believe me?

The early Christians did not just call themselves "Christians".  That was a name given to them by others which meant "little Christs".  People saw Christ in them, in their actions, and defined them as being like Christ.  Wow!


When he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. Both of them stayed there with the church for a full year, teaching large crowds of people. (It was at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians.)  Acts 11:26


What do they see in me?  or you?

Run On!

By the way – the running isn’t over – and neither is the blog.  Stay tuned for further posts.
