LORD LET ME BE MORE LIKE THEE

IT’S NOT HOW WE START IT’S HOW WE FINISH It’s not how we start it’s how we finish That lets others know how much we care. We make our mistakes and pray to God For all His blessings beyond compare. God and Satan both whisper to every ear For they know our soul control our passions. The outcomes of life both joyful and sad Teach which voice rewards or rations. All Heaven’s heroes except for Jesus and Daniel Had to be forgiven for their willingness to stray. They let God down and paid the price And their stories still relate...

Out of the Depths

Out of the Depths It makes the wounded spirit whole, And calms the troubled breast; ‘Tis manna to the hungry soul, And to the weary rest. Dear Name! the Rock on which I build My Shield and Hiding-place; My never-failing Treasury fill’d With boundless stores of grace.

Jesus! my Shepherd, Husband, Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King; My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring. Weak is the effort of my heart, And cold...

He shone his flashlight around, looking for valuables, and when he picked up a CD player to place in his sack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark, saying, “Jesus is watching you.” He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, promised himself a vacation after the next big score, then clicked the light back on and began searching for more valuables. Just as he pulled the stereo out so...

Resist the Blame Game

Resist the Blame Game I once heard a story of a 40-year-old woman who was jogging in a U. S. state park when she was attacked and killed by a mountain lion. Her family immediately filed suit against the state because of its “failure to manage the mountain lion population” and because it didn’t “react to reports of cougar activity in the area by posting warning signs.” But an interesting thing happened. Her distraught husband felt it was wrong to blame the state or anyone else for his wife’s death, even though he stood to possibly win a small fortune....
