Earlier this year, I wrote about recommitting to walking in 2025. I’m happy to announce (with a proud smile) that I’ve kept that promise.

A little over a month ago, mid-conversation, someone asked me if I’d always remain a Christian. “Yes,” I quickly quipped. It was an easy yes—true to the saying that things are easier said than done. I write this as someone praying daily for the strength to run and finish the race well, yet also as
