Theme: Here are the basics of life: the need for food, money, happiness, and the approval of others. Jesus says these needs will be met if a person centers on God.

Summary: Runners are getting ready for a race, stretching, and so forth. This is no ordinary race; this is the race of life. Some don't run so well and need help. Jesus comes to their assistance and they become winners. Runners mime as Onlooker speaks.
