Congratulations to the half marathoner finisher Mimi and to Marathon finisher Lisie!! Praise be to God who helped them press on through the last miles of their races. I did not run at the end due to poor health and I have peace with that...

"You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain."
 Exodus 20:7

 3.The Third Commandment is about Reverence  

God asks us to respect His Holy name and not to use it in vain. The Third Commandment focuses on showing respect. It addresses the way we communicate our feelings about God to others and to Him. It encompasses our attitudes, speech and behaviour. Respect is the cornerstone of good relationships. The quality of our relationship with God depends on the love and regard we have for Him. It also depends on the way we express respect for Him in the presence of others. We are expected always to honour who and what He is. Conversely, the use of God's name in a flippant, degrading or in any way disrespectful manner, dishonours the relationship we are supposed to have with Him. This can vary from careless disregard to hostility and antagonism. It covers misusing God's name in any way. The Hebrew name for "vain" is "shaw" and means vanity, falsehood, iniquity and emptiness. Simply summed up, "shaw" means showing disrespect and this is what we do when we take God's name in vain. Learn more
