A FAITH THAT BOLDLY PERSEVERES
James 5:7-12

the tennis shoes." That was a poor investment but I knew that I
needed this serious aerobic exercise. So I kept pushing and
kept pushing and kept pushing and I was up to a mile running
non-stop. Now mind you the mile was not real fast but at least
I was moving. I was not ...
