thanks heather that means a lot to me
-
there are times in life when we're faced
-
with a question
-
where our treasure lies is it in the
-
riches
-
the glory of this world or do we invest
-
our gifts
-
in the heart of the father using them
-
to meet the needs of others for the
-
bible tells us that where our treasure
-
is

their heart will be also

goodnight ellie love you sweetie
-
what do you notice about these pictures
-
i have a beautiful family she was
-
playing eve
-
the lead in applause here i don't
-
remember that show
-
you were running the a.t
-
brandon soccer tournament
-
you were running the pct alison's 16th
-
birthday
-
i took her out when i got home
-
you've missed so much
-
you know the first time you did one of
-
these things do you remember what i told
-
you before you left
-
that i hope that you achieved your goal
-
but that you would be miserable
-
and missing your family so much that you
-
would never want to do one of these
-
things again
-
this has nothing to do with whether i
-
love or miss you guys
-
yeah you're right it has nothing to do
-
with us at all
-
you've made it very clear where your
-
treasure lies that's not fair
-
look i don't know how to explain it okay
-
i i just feel like i'm supposed to go
-
nancy listen this isn't this is
-
this isn't the easiest thing to try to
-
explain but i've been praying asking
-
i just been sensing certain things about
-
it even that sermon on sunday
-
were we even listening to the same
-
message i feel like god wants me to do
-
this
-
to inspire people one last time teach
-
people how to really live
-
really have you ever asked yourself if
-
you're really teaching the right things
-
look all i can tell you is just as i was
-
praying asking god to show me what to do
-
one of my former students came to me
-
reminded me how we can do anything
-
despite our obstacles
-
is that god speaking or are you just
-
hearing what you want to hear
-
well then becky she gave me the card for
-
graduation with a verse about how we're
-
supposed to run with perseverance the
-
race set before us
-
is that just coincidence who am i to
-
argue with god
-
if that's the way that you really feel
-
uh
-
did you have something in mind for us to
-
do this summer
-
no nothing that matters
-
you can go off on your adventure
-
i'm sure that you're not going to be
-
missing anything here
-
really so i can i can go
-
well so i have your blessing
-
yeah if that's what you call it i'm your
-
wife
-
not your mother
-
i'm not gonna tell you what you can and
-
cannot do or even what you should
-
but i just hope that you can live with
-
yourself when you get back
-
what does that mean i just i wish i
-
could understand you
-
understand why this is so important to
-
you
-
i just need you to trust me and trust
-
him to take care of me
-
what if i asked you to choose
-

these

my husband and i when we first got

-
make a piece of art to commemorate the
-
trip
-
oh this is going to make a great
-
momento of that night what night

what'd i miss oh just the night that
-
your
-
mama almost got arrested nina what
-
she caused it i just wanted your mama to
-
have a little fun
-
for a while speaking of
-
i think that you and the kids should go
-
on that little trip
-
that's what i've been telling her neens
-
i planned that trip with your dad in
-
mind
-
there's no reason to go to all those
-
places that he's been without him
-
so what he went without us come on i
-
have it on good authority that i am a
-
total blast on vacation
-
there's no point in waiting on him to
-
live our lives um she's got you there
-
you're right there's no reason why we
-
can't go somewhere fine
-
why didn't you tell dave what you had
-
planned give him a chance to
-
choose
-
because i didn't want to know that he
-
wouldn't choose us
-
so
-
[Music]
-
he's an educator a motivator a
-
runner and a thrill-seeking wild man
-
when he called in this morning he talked
-
about the difficulties of the desert
-
his next stop is utah but this morning
-
we have a guest with us in the studio
-
becky becky is one of dr horton students
-
who just graduated and she's here
-
because she has
-
a story that she'd like to share with us
-
becky we're so glad that you're here
-
it's good to be here
-
um it was my freshman year of college
-
all right everybody what am i holding
-
here
-
yeah whatever it is it's disgusting
-
this is five pounds of fat
-
yeah yeah imagine how many of these
-
we're carrying around with us
-
all right each pound represents 3
-
500 calories and how do we burn those
-
calories
-
that's a question anyone exercise
-
say it with some conviction man exercise
-
exercise exactly in your textbooks i
-
want you to turn to page six
-
i believe that's near the beginning um
-
you what's your name
-
rebecca becky becky i like that can you
-
read that first paragraph for me please
-
running is defined by the action
-
or movement of a runner to go
-
quickly by moving the legs okay okay
-
that's good that is good
-
um becky i want you to rip that page out
-
of the book there for me please
-
yeah seriously just rip it right out
-
come on becky rip it
-
there doesn't that feel good does that
-
sound good everybody rip that page out
-
of your book
-
don't make becky feel like she's the
-
only one
-
you know what let's rip the entire
-
chapter out
-
beautiful rip the whole thing out
-
yeah there we go doesn't that feel good
-
rip the whole thing out look at you guys
-
you're exercising
-
here's the reason you can't learn about
-
running
-
out of a book and you certainly can't
-
burn any calories sitting on your rear
-
ends
-
there's only one way to learn about
-
running by exploring god's glorious
-
creation

[Music]

-
there for me when i'm going through a
-
tough time
-
you know every time he speaks to me
-
through his word what do you mean his
-
word
-
bible bible
-
knew it the first time my wife told me
-
she loved me
-
day our daughter was born first time my
-
son called me daddy
-
creations that just happens here your
-
design
-
your family
-

-
i'll see you tonight stop weighing
-
yourself down with all that junk you
-
keep picking up man
-
wait did you just say man i think he
-
just said
-
man
-
[Music]
-
i can't begin to know what i'd feel like
-
in your shoes
-
i miss mike when he's just down the
-
street at work
-
sometimes i think about sitting in on
-
some of his
-
kinesiology classes just to break up the
-
day
-
pathetic huh no no that's love
-
when dave calls i barely get to say
-
anything
-
careful now you have enough supplies for
-
your art class
-
i don't know what i'm gonna do nina
-
yes you do
-
maybe dave is giving you all that he can
-
give you right now
-
what if it's not enough you took vows
-
nance
-
so did he and when did serving god
-
become not serving your family
-
i know that it feels like that right now
-
but if he
-
senses that that you don't respect him
-
that you don't
-
nina you have a husband that you can
-
respect and somebody that actually wants
-
to be with you
-
but where does not supporting dave get
-
you
-
i know you're right
-
i knew this about him when we were young
-
but do you have any idea what's changed
-
for you since then
-
early in our marriage i would go
-
everywhere with him
-
i would meet him at all the stops
-
then after we had kids i had to stay
-
home
-
ever since then i've just
-
i felt like i've been left out of a
-
really big part of his life
-
have you told dave this
-
you need to tell them how you really
-
feel baby
-
this is 88.3 the journey life
-
hope music we've got dave horton on the
-
line tell us about your progress
-
i'm doing okay averaging about
-
45 miles a day
-
some days are harder than others but
-
uh i'll be honest this is
-
this is much harder than i expected
-
[Music]
-
[Music]
-
[Music]
-
waiting up for you expecting you to come
-
around
-
that's what families do they don't give
-
up on each other
-
so go ahead sign the papers give up
-
everything you and lottie worked so hard
-
for
-
pray that my body holds it together for
-
the rest of the race
-
pray that god gives me the strength to
-
finish
-
between the prayers and the word it
-
keeps me going

-
go to the moon number one and you're the
-
skinniest fat man i've ever seen in my
-
life
-
guess i gotta stop beating you through
-
the food line but you're getting fatter
-

from dad god reminds me
-
of you kids daily on the road here are
-
two pieces i believe god pointed out to
-
me just when i was missing you
-
early birthday presents that's cool
-
cool so now this is my turn bracelet did
-
you get anything wrong
-
i guess it's not my birthday
-
[Music]
-
i heard you on the radio
-
but that verse you keep bringing up the
-
race set before you
-
i want to understand how it saves people
-
i never said it did although i will say
-
there's been
-
someone on the road
-
sergey from russia i've been able to
-
share about god well well probably
-
doesn't sound like
-
enough right now but god gave me this
-
ability and i haven't wanted to waste it
-
when did you decide that this was your
-
only race
-
i mean wha what about marriage what
-
about fatherhood
-
it even seems like teaching is more
-
important to you than us
-
i just i just guess i don't understand
-
we got a problem
-
i'm sorry i gotta go
-
[Music]
-
[Music]
-
i don't know what he was thinking trying
-
to follow enduro dad's footsteps
-
no then what were you doing why were you
-
racing those boys
-
they were making fun of dad calling him
-
cracked and crazy to do what he does
-
so i told him i could beat him mrs
-
horton he's gonna be fine
-
it's just a spring nothing staying off
-
it and icing it won't fix
-
all right let's see how this feels
-
okay watch it can you
-
update him
-
thank you for everything doctor oh no
-
problem
-
i'm sorry i wasn't able to talk your
-
husband out of the trans and
-
you tried silly isn't it
-
that he might be swayed over something
-
that he never should have done
-
yeah that's my dave i know it was
-
probably really difficult for him to
-
hear that he'd never run like that again
-
particularly after the knee operation
-
can you try to get him to call in and
-
schedule the surgery as soon as he gets
-
back
-
he's been pretty honest with us about
-
how hard these races have been on you
-
while he's done so much to help us
-
you have to
-
i know you've sacrificed a lot because
-
of him
-
i appreciate that becky i know my
-
husband thinks the world of you
-
did you hear my interview on the radio
-
yes
-
i wasn't comfortable sharing everything
-
on there but
-
with you i felt like i should share this
-
it was right after high school and the
-
brutality that
-
usually comes with that for somebody
-
like me
-
years of being tormented over my weight
-
that first day of college i had no
-
intention of staying
-
i was just gonna go for that one day and
-
prove that it was okay to quit
-
and then it would all be over
-
but then your husband he took us on one
-
of his runs
-
he didn't see me as anything other than
-
somebody who was capable
-
he saw me for what i could be
-
that's when i started to see myself that
-
way too
-
what do you mean
-
i was going to end my life
-
but even though he doesn't always know
-
what drives him
-
he drives us
-
i am so sorry i told you i didn't see
-
you as a hero
-
[Music]
-
you are my hero always have been
-
[Music]
-
i had no idea your doctor had given you
-
that news
-
[Music]
-
i wish you would have told me
-
but i get it it would have made me try
-
to stop you even more
-
[Music]
-
but i do love you david horton always
-
will
-
i will celebrate your return
-
[Music]
-

i thought i was suffering badly

then i saw you
-
you were soaking wet shivering near
-
hypothermia
-
you look like a wet rat
-
and yet you were there with a smile on
-
your face
-
it turned on me that you have been out
-
there for eight hours braving the
-
weather and
-
freezing temperatures handing me food
-
and water bottles
-
i felt terrible for you you've always
-
had a front row seat to my misery and
-
i'm sorry i put you through that
-
i know you've recognized a lot of what i
-
do seem self-inflicted
-

-
this extraordinary person

-
truly extraordinary
