In high school we had this star player that was

lazier than mud.

Often the coach placed 5 pound bags of sand

around his ankles, he had to wear them all week.

Right before the game,

the coach untied the weights and sent the boy to

the floor.

He jumped higher and built strength,

by laying aside the weights.

Many are willing to lay aside sin, but God is asking us to lay aside the weights.
