Hebrews 12:1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed

about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with

patience the race that is set before us

Only one life,’twill soon be past,

Only what’s done for Christ will last.

Please pray for us as we serve God in 2013!
