I love football. Played it for nine years in my younger day, but I still watch it whenever I can be it at a high school game or a college or pro game on TV. Several years ago two sportscasters were discussing the great professional running backs of all time. They came to Walter Payton, an all-time leading ground gainer in the NFL.
"What a runner," said the first commentator. "Did you know that all together, Walter Payton has gained over 9 miles rushing in his career?"
The second commentator thought for a moment and then responded, "And to think that every 4.6 yards of that way, someone was knocking him down."
Does that describe your life? ...a long journey with somebody knocking you down every few yards. Peter wrote to a group of people in 1 & 2 Peter who were getting knocked down and finding it difficult to get back up.
I have been doing a weekly series with our young adults called, "Living It Up!" You can follow along if you like by going to Paradigm Talk
