"In order to act consistently faster than the enemy, it is necessary to do more than move quickly. It is also necessary to make rapid transitions from one action to another. While
there are many types of transitions in combat, the important thing to remember is that transitions produce friction. Reduction of friction minimizes the loss of tempo that the friction
generates at the point of transition. A unit that can make transitions faster and more smoothly than another can be said to have greater relative speed." -- MCDP 1-3: Tactics
A baton pass produces friction. The transition from hand to hand reduces speed. The faster the pass, the quicker the speed. Do not be reluctant to pass it where you can, when you can, to whom you should, for your neighbor's good.
2 Timothy 2:1-5
You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also. Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
"We must be faster than our opponent. This means we must move fast, but, more importantly, we must act faster than our enemy. The aim is to tailor our tactics so that we can act faster than the enemy force can react. Our ability to plan, decide, and execute faster than our enemy creates advantage that we can exploit." -- MCDP 1-3: Tactics
We please God by staying focused. We please our Lord by competing according to His rules. We please Jesus by running fast. We please the Spirit by reducing friction. We please the Triune God of heaven and earth by fighting the good fight and finishing in first place in the race we've been placed.
1 Corinthians 9:24
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.
