As we all know, racing is about time: Time to plan, time to find a sponsor, time to prepare, time to get to the track, time to race, and hopefully time to win. Time equals speed, speed equals excitement, and excitement tells a vivid story.
The BIG story is what life is all about. Life is about knowing what time it is in relation to
eternity. I have twenty nine years worth of eternal stories. If you want to hear some more, ask and you shall receive … I won’ t deceive … eternal life is something you need to perceive … that human effort will never achieve … I pray you will truly believe!
