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
Pittsburgh, PA — In a short communication to the Anglican Communion Network office today, Bishop Duncan said he wanted to thank all members of the Network for the tremendous outpouring of prayer support this week. He added that he was who he needed to be during his presentation to the primates of the Anglican Communion which took place on Thursday, February 15 in Tanzania.
“Please keep praying for Bishop Duncan, and everyone involved in this critical moment in the history of Anglicanism. There is still much work to be done. We must be patient and trust that God’s good purposes will be accomplished in Tanzania,” said the Rt. Rev. Jack Iker, Network Bishop of the diocese of Fort Worth.
As is customary, the primates of the Anglican Communion and all others participating in this meeting have been asked not to comment on the meeting itself until its conclusion. The meeting ends on February 19.

Heb. 12:1&2 was the theme verse as Joni & Friends Family Retreats for 2004. That race set out before us part was really stressed for none of the families there desired to qualify to be involved in disability ministry. Yet they had a course laid out before them. I think as Americans we have so much choice and control we can forget that part until the Lord interrupts our lives. We persevere in the race that been set out, we didn't get to lay out the course else we may have chosen a few less hills and valleys to run through.
