He was

He was only a Babe, Gods only Son, who came to show us the way.
He was only a Man sent to teach and to heal, but was villified in his day.
It was only a Cross symbolizing the loss of what the world had gained.
Its only a Tomb with an empty room to show that he lives again.
Its only a thought but perhaps we ought to do as he has taught and do what he would do.
The choice is up to you!

The Real Truth

I you want the real truth you need to look to the one known as The 'TRUTH'! John 14:6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you want to know what the truth is check out the bible!

to be or not to be.....honest (part 2)

What is the basis for our belief of honesty and truth. Do we even have a foundation to lean on or do we just go with the majority. In other words 'Well everybody does it this way(mix some lies and truth) so that makes it OK'. Let try this...Somebody owes you some money but you're not sure they're going to pay you back is it OK to deceive them to get them to pay you back? I don't think circumstances or other people's opinion should determine your stance on honesty or truth! I'm not saying telling the truth or being honest, according to Ol' man Webster, will be easy or painless but it is always the right thing to do!

to be or not to be.....honest

Just what is honesty? Is it the same today as it was 20 or 40 years ago? What about truth? Ol' man Webster says this about honesty...2 a: fairness and straightforwardness of conduct b: adherence to the facts. Honesty implies a refusal to lie, steal, or deceive in any way. Ol' man Webster says this about truth...3 a: the property (as of a statement) of being in accord with fact or reality. In truth as in accordance with fact. Does it matter if we mix some lies in with some truth as long as the truth outweighs the lies? How many lies can we mix and still claim the truth? If you are being treated unfair is OK to do the same? A lot of people I know believe it's OK to mix some truth and lies with some fairness and claim it as fact. Their reasoning... everybody does it!

Do you have to have a degree to be a teacher

Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master. Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. Had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.

family

My oldest child and her husband just left to go back to Mexico where they currently serve as missionaries at a childrens home. They came home to spend some time with family for Christmas...boy did it go fast. Time never slows and can't be bought, so take advantage of opportunities to enjoy relationships, you can't redo yesterday.
