A MARATHON MISSION: MADISON HOGAN III’S MILES OF MEMORIES

A MARATHON MISSION: MADISON HOGAN III’S MILES OF MEMORIES. By Pastor Kyev Tatum, Sr. Some people are built for sprinting. Madison Hogan III was built for the long run—and for a life of service that carried him from the track at I.M. Terrell to Vietnam and into the neighborhoods of Fort Worth. Hogan still holds I.M. Terrell’s mile record. But the distance that defines his life reaches well beyond the track. He served as a United States Marine during the Vietnam War, worked for the U.S. Postal Service as an automation clerk, and spent decades documenting the people and events around him with a camera. He has been retired from the Postal Service for 16 years.

It was a sacred opportunity to reflect on who we are, remember where we come from, and celebrate the love and faith that hold our family together. We honored the generations who came before us, gave thanks for the blessings we share today, and found renewed hope in the next generation—the promise of new beginnings and a future still unfolding. We may never fully understand why God allows certain things to happen in our lives. Yet this Scripture reminds us to trust Him in the seasons we understand and in the seasons we do not. There is faith, grace, and strength in accepting what God allows. We are eternally gratef...
