Title: It’s God’s race 
Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us… – Hebrews 12:1c
I’ve never been able to run for an extended period, and I didn’t want to give up. To me, running and perseverance go hand in hand.
There are times (perhaps today) you will want to give up. Stop running. Stop persevering. Stop being the man God has called you to be. And at that moment, you’ll need to draw your focus away from your pain, frustration, and agony and solely fix your gaze on the race that is marked out for you.
It’s God’s grace. It’s His path that he has put you on. Which means there are some really good things in store for you. But you’ll need to persevere through the worst moments to enjoy the best moments.
Real Men Persevere.

Milo and his family currently live in North Carolina, where he is a staff Chaplain for MAG-14 at Cherry Point, NC. As a staff chaplain, he is responsible for the spiritual well-being of over 1200 marines and their families. He does this by participating in training events, deploying with the squadrons he covers, providing a constant presence of support and working with the command in facilitating general care and response in the face of family/unit emergencies.

Milo and Bethany have been in full-time ministry since 1999, and have enjoyed a wide variety of experiences and opportunities. In 2003, God brought Andrew into their lives, and in 2005 Olivia was the fourth addition to the family. Milo has stated repeatedly that God’s greatest tool in shaping his theology, philosophy of life and walk with Christ has been his family. Woodworking, riding his motorcycle, movies, camping, and time with his family are some of his favorite things to enjoy.
