:new: Joe came into 16th place. :hmm: Retirement is looming...

The audience watching on their televisions in the cool of the shade cheered as the horses at the front of the line battled for the lead. Little did they know about the drama that was unfolding at the end of the line...

After Joe got spooked at the starting gate, it took Jim a whole quarter of a track to fight him back behind the competition. Joe was a stayer, and in the back he would stay until the time was right...
At the halfway point, however, it was clear that Joe's usual burst of energy was nearly spent. Jim thought quickly and glanced downward. "Joe, you and I both know that we have a slim chance at winning this..."

In response, Joe opened his mouth and let out a small whinny.

"Joe..." Jim hesitated and he saw Joe flick his ears back towards him, listening. "I'm turning it over to you." Jim eased the tension on the reins. "You know your strengths better than I ever will." He then looked ahead with determination, hoping he had done the right thing. "Let's win this, boy!!" Jim felt Joe take the bit between his teeth and suddenly surge forward under the bright sunlight....

Make a friend of me, you have a friend for life.
Make an enemy of me, you'd better lock your doors at night.

I believe in Jesus Christ, my Savior. If you do too, copy and paste this into your signature.

If we spent every minute of our lives thanking God for all that He has done, that still wouldn't be enough. :pray:
