Another Verse

I've been talking about Romans 12:18, which I noted as a long-time significant verse for me. So I pop onto the blog tonight (I use the links I have to visit blogs I frequent) and read the daily verse (in this case, verses) from the ESV site; Hebrews 12:1-2 which are also long-time friends:

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, 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.
