What if I told you the sky was blue and the grass was green. That bluebirds sang and children played.
What if I told you that bubbles were round and trees swayed in the breeze.
What if I told you. . .would you believe me?
And what if I told you that germs will spread and people get sick, but they get better again--most of the time.
What if I told you that snow glitters in the sun, and each one of them are different from each other.
What if told you. . .would you believe me?
What if I told you that there's such a thing as love and people use it to label many things without realizing what it truly is.
What if I told you there once was a man who laid down his life for someone--for many someones.
What if I told you. . .would you believe me?
But what if I also told you that this man was no ordinary man that he was also God, and that His sacrifice paid the debt for our sin.
Would you believe me?
Probably not. Maybe, just maybe you might...but it wouldn't matter if you didn't... because what I believe isn't based on whether or not someone believes me, but upon truth.
So go check it out, search for it, and maybe you'll come to the same conclusion. ~Luke 11:9-10

Philippians 3:12-14
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

So what exactly is Pressing Toward the Mark? Well, I think the Bible verse I have up there says it all. Paul said it well when he said that he hadn't already obtained all these things or was perfect. Rather, in spite of his imperfectness, he continued to press on and reach for the prize of the high calling of God. Which is also my goal. I am by no means perfect - not even close to it! But I will continue to be a broken arrow straining towards The Mark.

- When circumstances seem impossible, when all signs of grace in you seem at their lowest ebb, when temptation is fiercest, when love and joy and hope seem well-nigh extinguished in your heart, then rest, without feeling and without emotion, in the Father's faithfulness. ~D. Tryon
