Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

Iditarod Winner, 3/18 - Lance Mackey!
Lance Mackey has won the Iditarod for the third time in a row! Read the story here. He's now won seven 1,000+ mile races: the Yukon Quest four times, and the Iditarod thrice.
Uh, excuse me, but I do not believe it is "unprecidented". Susan Butcher won three times in a row: 1986, '87, and '88 And Doug Swingley got three in a row: 1999, 2000, and 2001. http://www.iditarod.com/learn/awards.html
Surprisingly, Rick Swenson did not get three in a row despite winning five times.
Joated - you're right. I made the mistake of listening to a radio commentator instead of checking it out for myself. My bad - and good call on your part. Thanks.

You're welcome. It's the school teacher in me. Sorry.
