Life is full of casual observers. People who would rather stand still and never have to face a new horizon, than to join the race and risk being trampled. They are the living sidelines, wishing for a chance to feel the wind in their faces, but fearing that the same wind will keep them from pressing on.
Not all of us dare to run, because when you run, there's a chance that you'll fall. But the joy of the Christian life is this: when you fall, you can fall on your knees and ask for the strength to carry on. Jesus died so that you could run.

New TNS Song
Brian Bandas and Chris Webster
I sit and watch the world live out my hopes and dreams
Sick of hearing that it's better than it seems
And words lose meaning when the silence leaves them numb
Do I keep this hope alive to watch it die
And is it failing if you never get to try
All that I can see are the things I've never done
Is it wrong that sometimes I want to go home?
And as we've seen this far
It's a cold, hard world
But close your eyes and it's gone
If you dare to run
There's a chance you'll fall
But at least you dared to run at all
I sit and watch the world live out my hopes and dreams
Sick of hearing that it's better than it seems
And words lose meaning when the silence leaves them numb
Do I keep this hope alive to watch it die
And is it failing if you never get to try
All that I can see are the things I've never done
Is it wrong that sometimes I want to go home?
And as we've seen this far
It's a cold, hard world
But close your eyes and it's gone
If you dare to run
There's a chance you'll fall
But at least you dared to run at all
