Hebrews 12:1-3 ROCK and are worth memorizing. Memorize them and it's worth a free dinner at the Oasis cafe (piece of pizza, chips, pop/water and desert of your choosing). Considering the witnesses they are probably referring to are the heroes of the faith talked about in Hebrews 11, that is way cool. They've handed off the baton to us! Zowee! How well are you running your leg of the race (no need to respond, just something to ponder)? I'm doing ok, but desire to do so much better.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Hebrews 12:1-3
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering. Hebrews 13:2-3
There were a lot of great verses in those two chapters, stuff we don't necessarily like to hear about but desperately need to (ex. discipline, bitterness, living under authority, etc.), most of which we know. However, it's one thing to know God's Word and totally another to be transformed by it. That's my prayer, that we'll both be transformed as you "Walk with me".

Hey Judy!! That is awsome!!! I think we really need to pay more attention to god and get as close as we can other wise we might start to drift apart from him. I think it is great that people pray for each other telling god about other peoples problems and asking him to help them. Maybe they're hurt, a loved one has died and their sad, or maybe even if their scared inside and don't know what to do.
