Who Holds Your Future?

                Sure, it takes a great amount of humility to believe that you can't save yourself; but to claim that the faith you hold is the one (and only one) that can save every living person is dangerous. What we're gambling with is eternity and it's important to be sure on what you believe. I'm a Christian because it doesn't make sense for God to become a man to save His creation... the very ones who have sinned so greatly against Him. The other religions have people claiming to be God, but never God claiming to be a man. Christianity is the only faith that doesn't require me (or you) to redeem myself with my own strength or with how good I can be. It is the only religion that says, “You are such a horrible person that, if you want to reach heaven, you need to be saved by Someone greater than yourself.” But it also says, “That Someone loves you so much that He took your punishment and died to take your sins away. He is the only way to the Father.” Again, it doesn't make sense, and I figure, if this God doesn't make sense, He must be a whole lot smarter than me (Isaiah 55:6-9) and if He's smarter than me... It would probably be best for me to believe  in His plan. I don't know what my future holds, but I know Who holds my future. I have faith in the saving blood of Jesus Christ. I pray that you do too.

A Tribute to My Mother

In this family, 

we do a lot of laughing

and a bit of crying

a bunch of living 

and a bit more dying (to ourselves)

Although Dad has all the jokes

Mom is the one with infectious giggle 

That tears down the walls of seriousness

And makes the world a better place

That's not to say she can't be solemn

Because she has loads of wisdom too

(After all, she has raised seven boys)

This started off as a regular poem,

but I guess it's turned more free verse,

That's kind of the story of my mother

She sets out with a plan,

But she's flexible enough to roll with the punches

And isn't too upset when things don't go as she had hoped

She constantly has an encouraging word to say

And is full of the Joy of the Lord

Without her, this world would be a much darker place

"Strength and dignity are her clothing,

and she laughs at the time to come.

She opens her mouth with wisdom,

and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue [...]

'Many women have done excellently,

but you surpass them all.'" (Proverbs 31:25-26, 29)

I'm so thankful for you, Mom.

Happy Mother's Day!
