I enjoy the back stories where they share their struggles and challenges offering insight as to why they are even attempting this brutal challenge.

Their fellow competitors are among their strongest encouragers!

 “We claim spiritual progress rather than spiritual perfection.” Big Book pg 60 


Lord, let us grow closer to You through striving to improve ourselves and encouraging others, AMEN. 


 “Finally, brothers and sisters rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, and live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.” 2 Corinthians 13:11 


Have a blessed day y’all! 


Join me in looking at the things we face daily with passages from both the Big Book and Bible!
