...Some time later, the poet met his friend and asked whether he had sold the property to which he replied:

to a train ride or a series of train rides...

I had lived very selfishly and it had not made me happy...
It was then that I asked Jesus Christ to come into my life,
to be my Lord and Savior.

Whatever your cross

God's precious Word was written to help us, and to be studied, understood, and applied.
As an example, the Book of Psalms lends itself most directly to helping us deal
with our day to day emotions.
Psalms 5, 8, 15, 23, 24
Psalms 51, 92, 103, 104, 119
Psalms 136, 139, 145, 146

A reflection by Max Lucado on 1 Corinthians 13:8 - Love never fails
God loves you simply because he has chosen to do so.

This hymn tells my story the best:
I heard the voice of Jesus say Come unto me and rest.
Lay down thou weary one, lay down Thy head upon my breast.
I came to Jesus as I was Weary and worn and sad
I found in Him a resting place And He has made me glad.

Darren "Daz" Gedye shares his testimony
I grew up in a non-Christian home. My father is an atheist and my mother was a backslidden Christian, due mostly to marrying my father I suspect. Anyway, I grew up an atheist. I never went to Church or Sunday school, stayed in bed till lunch-time on Sundays, and hated Christians who I thought were all stupid.
