 “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12:1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ http://bible.com/114/heb.12.1.nkjv   Have you ever noticed that when you take off […]
