When I gave myself to Christ I knew the path He lead me on would not be easy. Since that fateful day in Eden, life was meant to be a chore and learning experience. If you have truelly given yourself to Him , you are just along for the ride, enjoy it, learn from it, rejoice in the life He gives us. One thing Dan's bastardization of a classic poem leaves out, after He dumps you on your butt, He waits for you to get up with His hand extended. We are human, we will falter, that is why Christ came and died for us, He was/is extending His hand. I took it a quarter century ago and hold on for the sheer joy of life in His glow. Mark, let go of doctrine, let Christ lead you,it may be on a road never traveled but by the bravest of followers, mine has been very interesting and my faith grows everyday. Just my opinion but I see you as having two hands on the Bible and not one in His hand, from our discussions, your grip on the Bible is stronger if one hand is in His grasp lending strength to the other. Please don't take me wrong, we just have a different grasp of Christian spiritualism. I'll get my Bible study cranked back up if you wish since Tim stopped hosting strong discussions on theological doctrine and differences.I offered you an editorial position. I love to discuss our Great Book and enjoy the lively debate our discussions bring.Goathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263194970690639096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1144155114050360042006-04-04T08:51:00.000-04:002006-04-04T08:51:00.000-04:00Would you mind a bit of long, irreverent humor?Thi...Would you mind a bit of long, irreverent humor?<BR/><BR/>This Is Not What You Think It Is...<BR/><BR/>One night I had a wondrous dream,<BR/>One set of footprints there was seen,<BR/>The footprints of my precious Lord,<BR/>But mine were not along the shore.<BR/><BR/>But then some strange prints appeared,<BR/>And I asked the Lord, "What have we here?"<BR/>Those prints are large and round and neat,<BR/>"But Lord, they are too big for feet."<BR/><BR/>"My child," He said in somber tones,<BR/>"For miles I carried you along.<BR/>I challenged you to walk in faith,<BR/>But you refused and made me wait."<BR/><BR/>"You disobeyed, you would not grow,<BR/>The walk of faith, you would not know,<BR/>So I got tired, I got fed up,<BR/>And there I dropped you on your butt."<BR/><BR/>"Because in life, there comes a time,<BR/>When one must fight, and one must climb,<BR/>When one must rise and take a stand,<BR/>Or leave their butt prints in the sand."Dan Trabuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303597141397042669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1144131014055036672006-04-04T02:10:00.000-04:002006-04-04T02:10:00.000-04:00I was wondering why you opened the other blog........I was wondering why you opened the other blog........And think you should shut it down.<BR/><BR/>This blog is yours, Mark.......We all come here for a reason, and it is to read your posts.

Everything works. The earth has heated up one degree in the past century and the self-appointed environmentalists are going nuts about global warming. They too, subconsciously recognize the perfection of the universe just from their manic reaction when something goes slightly out of kilter. That type of perfection, right down to the smallest subatomic particle, doesn't happen randomly. Why more people don't get that is beyond me.Lone Rangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13278448546799358207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1144085349404768642006-04-03T13:29:00.000-04:002006-04-03T13:29:00.000-04:00Just remember, Mark, the footprints you see in the...Just remember, Mark, the footprints you see in the sand today are not your's, but those of Christ who is carrying you.
