"Anthem"- Edwards

Reciting the lyrics, Edwards said: "Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in."

John Edwards wife said this of her struggle with cancer and her husband's affair. I think this is a beautiful picture of how God uses our sin and brokeness to seep into our hearts and to heal us. Those cracks that let His Light into us are his Grace and Mercy. I am thanking God for my brokenness and for my salvation.

LIVING THE LIFE

OH TO BE YOUNG AGAIN AND TO DO THINGS ALL OVER AGAIN.....REGRETS, QUITE A FEW, BUT NEVER DO I REGRET KNOWING YOU. I STUMBLED TO FIND YOU, I WAXED AND I WANED AND THROUGH IT ALL YOU WERE THERE AGAIN AND AGAIN.
PICKING UP MY PIECES ONE BY ONE, KNOWING QUITE WELL THAT IT WAS DONE ON THE CROSS TO YOUR SON. NOTHING I CAN SAY, NOTHING I CAN BARE, NOTHING I CAN DO THAT WOULD EVER COMPARE.

A "WOW" statement

I was listening to James MacArthur speak today about witnessing. He said something so profound i could not resist putting it out for others to see and contemplate. He was talking about how he was asked to say the prayer at the White House. He had said that he didn't particularly like doing this as he felt he was unable to preach and pray as he does in church. But he did pray as he does and his prayer did include Jesus' name twice. What he said after that to the congregation about his prayer was this. "In the end of the day there's only one person in the audience,,,that's God". What a "wow" statement. I felt this could be used in so many ways in life whether it be to witness, or even when speaking in front of others for a speach and you are overcome with fear. We should be prepared to serve and love one God and to speak to one God. He is our rock, our salvation, the one who bears witness to our inequities whom we can lay them all before him and he will pick us up and lead the way. So I say as James MacArthur said, "In the End of the day there's only one person in the audience, it is God".

A straight path

Members of the church are to walk circumspectly or narrowly. One who walks in a straight line can save mileage and time and not get lost, as do those who wander all over the landscape and forget where they are going.
