Running towards God as fast as possible is a great thing - but it can cause a few bumps to be in your path and some friendships that could have had better results. This is a marathon not a sprint - but is sure does feel good to be Sprinting towards the light. But you can not do it always, all day, everyday. Just most days. :-) Hi Ken,

I'm not a young pastor, but I certainly think this pact is important for Aimee and I too and all people like ebony said. Ken, thanks for the tip.

I had an experience a couple of months ago where a trusted friend (not necessarily my closest one, either) wrote me a long email after sitting with me all day in emergency after I passed out from dehydration (Rx side effect) and exhaustion (being-Ebony side effect). I have the tendency to want to crowd too much on my plate for lots of reasons, and since I'm only accountable to myself (and God) there's no one to slow me down until I get knocked off my feet. Literally. My friend risked our friendship to tell me that I was harming myself, and that I needed to clear my schedule for a while to recover. I'm glad she did.
