"Let's run home!" I told my two grandchildren. We had been at their neighborhood park playing, and running home seemed to them such a grand idea. I ran close behind. The oldest outpaced the youngest granddaughter and I sensed her frustration. So, I offered to carry her stuffed bear to free her arms up to run faster.
And there I was; macho triathlete (ha), Ironman hopeful, carrying a stuffed bear, running behind two small children. I smiled at the thought of the picture the scene made, and I thought of this scripture: "For whosoever exalteth himself shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted." (Luke 14:11)
Exalted? Next day I had one great bike ride.
