Xtramile Day

Matthew 5:41
If someone ask you to go with him one mile, go with Him a second.

An African Proverb:
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, bring a friend.

John Wesley
Set yourself on fire for the things that you are passionate about
and people will come from miles to watch you burn.
