From a Dear Friend

I am headed to work in a little bit so this will probably be the only time I am on here today. I got this the other day in an email from a friend. I loved it, which I do love a lot that comes from Maya Angelou. I just can't help but think that she is quite disappointed in the stand that OPRAH has taken about Christianity. I don't know if any of you have seen it, but I tell you what I was mortified. And the thing that scares me is that many people follow Oprah and for her to say that Jesus is not the only way, all I can tell her is that she needs to get her bible out and read it. This political race is a scary thing, watching it, and hearing them call Obama the SAVIOR, what are they thinking? That's blasphemy. I know that what ever happens is what is supposed to happen, but this is our future and I just hope that Christians everywhere will get out and vote and stand up for Jesus. I don't want someone who will not swear in on the Bible-God's Holy Word. Our country was founded by Christian men and I want it to stay that way. Well I didn't start this blog with the intention on going in this direction but I guess what was in my heart spilled out.

Christians

by Maya Angelou

"A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her."

When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'" I'm whispering "I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven

." When I say... "I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain.. I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!
