Scripture reference Hebrews 11 – “Heroes of Faith” leading into Hebrews 12: 1 …
Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
Just like the beatdown…easier to mosey when not carrying “encumbrance”. Challenged us to all identify what those “encumbrances” are that may be weighing us down and to lay them aside so we can run our races with endurance…because we have so great a cloud of witnesses (generations past and yet to come)
What I didn’t share were the following verses 2-4 which offer even more encouragement especially for those who are followers of Christ…
2 a]fixing our eyes on Jesus, the b]author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary c]and lose heart.
Counterama, Namerama, Announcearama – Daderday next Saturday
BALL OF MAN: Totally dropped the ball again and forgot to close in prayer! :((
My prayer for us all…Heavenly Father, thank you for F3 and the brotherhood we share to push each other to be better men physically and spiritually. Please show us where we may still be carrying certain “encumbrances” that hold us down and give us the courage and if necessary help to lay them aside so that we can freely run with endurance the race You have set out for us. In the name of Christ I pray…Amen

The Count entertained us sharing a run in with some over zealous MPs he encountered during his return to base following a business lunch where some amount of adult beverage was consumed. I’m certain no amount of sarcasm was spared on the young lad. Oh to have been a fly on the wall!! :))
