I was blessed to be 1 of 95 men from our local church who awoke this morning overlooking Ocracoke Island's Silver Lake.
We are now engaged in our 3rd session of Worship and the Word and our Scripture focus for today is being unpacked by our yearly retreat "rabbi" Brian Charette. Here's the passage:
"Since we are surrounded by so many examples ⌊of faith⌋, we must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially sin that distracts us. We must run the race that lies ahead of us and never give up. We must focus on Jesus, the source and goal of our faith. He saw the joy ahead of him, so he endured death on the cross and ignored the disgrace it brought him. Then he received the highest position in heaven, the one next to the throne of God. Think about Jesus, who endured opposition from sinners, so that you don’t become tired and give up." (Hebrews 12:1-3 GWT)
"How you finish can veto the way you start." -- Brian Charette
Let's us finish the journey -- together.

Everone thinks I'm crazy. They say, "You take the Jesus thing too seriously."
Well I don't know, but Christ took me pretty serously when he died for me on the cross.
Good point.
