Today we enjoyed Chariots of Fire. What an inspiration that movie is. I must confess it has been many moons since I have watched it. Some of my favorite quotes personalized with second hand telling and Jodi perspective. :) I think we can sensibly replace the verb "run" with what ever it is for each of us. For me it happens to be seeking and providing a world of meaning. Psychologically this probably means somewhere along the line, I felt the lack of meaning, and therefore experience a need to create it. I can finally say, "I am okay with that."
" I believe God made me with a purpose and I intend to fill that purpose, ( pregnant pause) And He made me really fast. When I run I feel His Pleasure with me. I desire Him to take pleasure in me."
"Many of you came here to watch a race. You came here to watch my race. I wish I could say that life is like a race. But for many of you, you go home to your normal lives, to your work and to your jobs and you do not know what it is like to run. To feel the high, the rush. Yes it is a rush, and then it is over."
"I do not run because I want to or because it is my job. I run because it is what I am compelled to do. I must run I can not help myself."
