It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt

This is the place we learn to fight…
For our lives, for our church, for our families, for our friends, for our wives, for our hearts

 

Genesis 32:24-30 (The Message)

But Jacob stayed behind by himself, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. When the man saw that he couldn't get the best of Jacob as they wrestled, he deliberately threw Jacob's hip out of joint. The man said, "Let me go; it's daybreak." Jacob said, "I'm not letting you go 'til you bless me." The man said, "What's your name?"  He answered, "Jacob." The man said, "But no longer. Your name is no longer Jacob. From now on its Israel (God-Wrestler); you've wrestled with God and you've come through." Jacob asked, "And what's your name?"  The man said, "Why do you want to know my name?" And then, right then and there, he blessed him.  Jacob named the place Peniel (God's Face) because, he said, "I saw God face-to-face and lived to tell the story!"
