The 2,000 Year Relay

———————————
Dear Saints; The 2,000 Year Relay (Hebrews 11; 12:1-2)
———————————-
I write to Paul to
Silas
To St. Augustine, and St. Aquinas
To the Virgin Mary, to
Lazarus and Mary and Martha
To Peter, James, and John
And John Wesley, and A.W. Tozer
Jim Elliot
And St. Francis of Assisi
And Rachel Joy Scott

I will keep running
Until the flames from this torch
Singe the very
Skin
Off my fingers. Until the arrows
Of the enemy impale
The very heart that beats
Inside of me, when my
Last breath is exhaled
And I fall flat
Face down in dirt of
Glory and renown
