Yesterday, I helped in Ruth's nursery room so I got to see her and the other kids play during the second service. Amy helped in the nursery during the third service so I went to small group prayer requests and ate lunch with them. Ruth fell asleep on the way home. Amy and I solidified travel plans for TCEP this next weekend as well as Nebraska in the fall. We watched MSU beat Louisville, and then Suzanne and Aunt Janie came over. We all headed to Elizabeth's birthday party at the Dahlmans. Ruth did great in the bounce house. At home, we just had some family time, ate dinner, and watched Curious George before heading to bed.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 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."

This was a great set of verses speaking of competition and the one that really matters. I do feel like I am running aimlessly at times, but everything comes into focus when I put Christ first. I am thankful to be qualified for the eternal prize.
