Great to meet everyone who stopped by the Prison Fellowship booth at this week! Thanks for stopping and making yourselves to us.

"If anyone serves, they should do so with the God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 4:11

Can't wait to be at in three days!

And the countdown continues!

"We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot."

- Eleanor Roosevelt

Sunday is run-day, so we hope you got outside this a.m.! Beautiful first morning of fall in the DC area.

"I think one reason runners are so impressed and mystified by mental toughness is because it’s the one thing you can’t quite quantify in our sport. You can’t give a number to how tough you are, you just have to keep proving it."

"I want to get more comfortable being uncomfortable. I want to get more confident being uncertain. I don't want to shrink back just because something isn't easy. I want to push back, and make more room in the area between 'I can't' and 'I can.' Maybe that spot is called 'I WILL.'"
