“Keep running, you're almost there!” These words reverberated in my mind when I did my first half marathon and the image of Dory singing “just keep swimming”. It was a long arduous journey, but in the end I am so humbled to have run this race for the families in Africa who don’t have clean water. From the countless nights of writing emails to potential donors and the several cramps from months of preparation, the Rock n’ Roll run in Seattle was an awarding experience. The mission was not easy, but

life, I get more excited about reading the latest John Piper book or scouring Matthew Henry's commentary than I do about opening the very Word of God! Though I would never audibly announce this, I feel like I often slip into the faulty idea that the Bible is mundane; and this is a dangerous place to be. When a man thinks that he has absorbed all there is to be had from his scripture, he has opened himself to the worst type of pride. My prayer would be that God would teach me to love His words more than

The sermon shows not only how religion was a huge priority, but also how it impacted the writing of this time. After the age of new lands, colonial times approached. The American Revolution had begun and freedom from Britain and it’s harsh taxes was in the future. This time period was known as
