I tried running 72 miles in one day last March 12, but the sun decided against me. Knowing Who controls the sun, I accepted God's decision of where to draw the finish line.
What I thought would be a personal accomplishment turned into something far better: a celebration of brotherhood. Wes Fahlenkamp, Greg Davis, and Terry Clemens—from Iowa, Indiana, and Ontario, Canada, respectively—descended upon Fort Lauderdale to crew my endeavor. Not only are these three brothers fellow members of the body of Christ, but they are friends who can't resist an epic challenge—both for themselves and for their brother in the thin running shoes.
