Those of you who really know me will not be surprised by this page of my web site. While it’s not something I shout from the rooftops, or something I even say often enough, I am a Christian.
I offer no apology for this, just as I never try to shove my beliefs on anyone in person. I don’t demand that you read this page, but only pray that you will do so.
I wish I could profess to be the best Christian I know how to be, but that wouldn’t true. I’m far from where I should be in my walk with the Lord; but I know that He knows my heart. He knows that I thank Him daily for the many things He has made possible in my life.
I don’t understand how people can say there is no God. How can one look at the world, at the universe, and doubt His existence? I see His touch in the flowers that bloom in the spring. I hear His voice in a newborn baby’s cry. I see His love in beautiful clouds, in sparkling still waters of lakes, in rainbows at the edges of storms, and in the infinite, breathtaking display of stars. Thus, I could never doubt His existence.
I’m here on this earth today, when so many of my friends and family are gone by His grace. I have a beautiful daughter and loving friends. I have overcome great health problems. I see all these blessings as signs of His mercy.
To Him goes the glory and my humble thanks for all that I am, and all that I shall yet be, that is good in my life. I strive daily to do what He wants of me; and though I often fail in those efforts, He always forgives my failings and never once has failed me.
When I say, “I am a Christian”
When I say, “I am a Christian,”
I’m not shouting, “I am saved;”
I'm whispering “I was lost!”
That is why I chose this way."
When I say, “I am a Christian,”
I don’t speak of this with pride;
I’m confessing that I stumble,
And need someone to be my guide.
When I say, “I am a Christian,”
I’m not trying to be strong;
I’m professing that I’m weak,
And pray for strength to carry on.
When I say, “I am a Christian,”
I’m not bragging of success;
I’m admitting I have failed,
And cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say, “I am a Christian,”
I’m not claiming to be perfect;
My flaws are too visible,
But God believes I’m worth it.
When I say, “I am a Christian,”
I still feel the sting of pain;
I have my share of heartaches,
Which is why I seek His name.
When I say, “I am a Christian,”
I have no authority,
