Alive


I like what Irenaeus says, "The glory of God is a person fully alive."


Yancey responds, "Christians are not perfect, by any means, but they can be people made fully alive."


I love those thoughts--and am thankful for prayer and the beauty of Christian fellowship--especially of Christians from all walks of life--the beauty in diversity yet unity because of the central core--Christ himself.


I love this prayer: "Turn every evil design of the devil into sanctifying schemes of love. Deliver us from his deceptions. Keep the beauty of Christ clear in the eyes of our heart."

  3. I LOVE the avenue of Prayer it is truly the only thing that I feel I have. Without prayer we would be lost. And I feel the same way as Sharon God is connecting all of us and I thank him for that. I Love being able to go in pray and thank our Lord for his grace. I love thank-ful prayers. When someone gives me a gift I always thank them and God gives me a gift everyday so I try to thank him everyday as well.
