…something’s not right here.
"What sense of inconsistency can allow people to grieve for their dead, yet be calloused to this baleful war being waged on life at the time of its silent development? What logic would encourage efforts to preserve the life of a critically ill 12-week old infant, but countenance the termination of another life 12 weeks after inception? More attention is seemingly focused on the fate of a life at some penitentiary’s death row than on the million’s totally deprived of life’s opportunity through such odious carnage before birth."
- Elder Russell M. Nelson
"If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity."
- C.S. Lewis

When I say “I’m a Christian”…
I’m not shouting “I’m clean livin’.”
I’m whispering “I was lost,
Now I’m found and forgiven.”
I don’t speak of this with pride.
I’m confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.
I’m not trying to be strong.
I’m professing that I’m weak
And need His strength to carry on.
I’m not bragging of success.
I’m admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.
I’m not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.
I’m not holier than you,
I’m just a simple sinner
Who received God’s good grace, somehow.
