weighed down
The snatch theft incident gave me something to ask myself.
When I saw the thief's knife pointed towards me, I did 3 things ( was asked how i did that, could only reply...with God's help)
1) I screamed ( not that it helped..no one came to my aid)
2) I was carrying my long-strapped handbag across my shoulder. I removed it and threw it away
3) ran in the opposite direction towards my friend's house.
Question to myself...as I run this race ( Heb 12 v 1) am I carrying any "weight' which is weighing me down and distracting me from running my race well?
P/S the handbag didn't not have any cash or important documents, which leads to 2 theories.
a) some say these "thieves " would be so angry with me and would try to seek me out "again"
b) they won't waste their time with me "again"
What do you think?

How about this?
Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain in it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. Well, I do not run aimlessly, I do not box as one beating the air; but I pommel my body and subdue it, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. (1 Corinthians 9:24-27 RSV)
That's Paul's objective - we are here to run the race of life in order to be a useful and a pleasing instrument of God, to be used whenever and wherever he wants to use us.
