The race set before us

by chuckofish

Well, it is September and officially candy corn season. Maybe you are one of those people who can resist it. Well, I cannot. Mea culpa.

In other news, I hired the College Hunks to come and haul away our old sofa, which they did heroically and pleasantly and in a very timely fashion. It was not cheap, but what a relief. I think my “new” vintage sofa looks very nice.

I am pleased.

September is shaping up to be a busy month. There’s the Labor Day weekend, followed by daughter #1’s birthday. My women’s Bible Study group starts up along with other volunteer activities. Soon, you know, it will be Thanksgiving, and then…Christmas. Zut alors. Let’s try to keep our focus.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

–Hebrews 12: 1-2
