Press on...

"The humble, self-denying life of our divine Lord we are to keep constantly in view. And then as we seek to imitate Him, keeping our eye upon the mark of the prize, we can run this race with certainty, knowing that if we do the very best we can we shall certainly secure the prize. . . ."

--In Heavenly Places, pg. 276.

This blog's inspiration...

"The greatest want of the world is the want of men--men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall."

--Education, pg. 57.

I hope you don't mind... I'd rather talk about Jesus than me. My supreme goal is that people will see Him when they look at me.

I have two passions in life: Knowing Jesus; sharing Him. It is my prayer that one or both of these will shine through in what I write here...

Please bear with these raw thoughts, feel free to comment and share the journey with me, and let's strive to live like Jesus. You'll never regret seeking that goal. Ever.
