Ponca City Gospel Jubilee will feature “The Ruckmans” Saturday June 10th at 6:30 p.m. (doors open at 5) . The Ruckman family are from Warner Oklahoma, a Southern Gospel trio group that are guaranteed to bring great harmony to the stage with that old time camp meeting music sound. . We travel wherever doors are opened to tell people about our God who sent his only son to die on a cruel cross that we may have eternal life through Him. As the apostle Paul wrote in 2 Timothy Chapter 3, we are seeing perilous times and feel that the time of the return of Christ is at hand. It is time for a great harvest, and we are using the talents that God has given us to spread the message of grace, love, and peace that is available through the redemptive blood of Jesus Christ.

I’m training for my first longdistance race, and I want to be safe on my runs. Unfortunately, due to where I live, the weather is often a challenge. On other days, I’m finding I cannot get in my miles until after dusk. I’m wondering if you have any advice for staying injuryfree in cold, rainy or dark conditions?
