To Be...Flawless

March 27
I Can Only Imagine is a FABULOUS movie!  TBN also did an excellent special on Bart Millard and the Mercy Me band story.  Grandmothers, be encouraged, his Meemaw/Mawmaw had quite the impact on his spiritual life!

 While some of the storyline was adapted for drama  (see https://www.countryliving.com/life/entertainment/a19514157/i-can-only-imagine-movie/), the movie packs a powerful punch about forgiveness and the reality that Jesus died so everyone who believes in Him can be flawless.

 During this Holy Week check out another Mercy Me song and give thanks for the blood that was shed on Calvary to make us flawless.  Let's all pray that someone we know and have been praying for will be introduced to God's amazing grace!

 Flawless Lyrics
There’s got to be more Than going back and forth From doing right to doing wrong
‘Cause we were taught that’s who we are Come on get in line right behind me
You along with everybody Thinking there’s worth in what you do
Then like a hero who takes the stage when 
We’re on the edge of our seats saying it’s too late
Well let me introduce you to amazing grace
No matter the bumps No matter the bruises No matter the scars
Still the truth is The cross has made The cross has made you flawless
No matter the hurt Or how deep the wound is No matter the pain
Still the truth is The cross has made The cross has made you flawless
Could it possibly be That we simply can’t believe
That this unconditional Kind of love would be enough
To take a filthy wretch like this And wrap him up in righteousness
But that’s exactly what He did
Chorus
Take a breath smile and say Right here right now I’m ok Because the cross was enough
And like a hero who takes the stage when
We’re on the edge of our seats saying it’s too late
Well let me introduce you to grace grace God’s grace
Chorus

She Fought the Good Fight

February 27 Bible Gateway's verse yesterday was: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him . 1 John 4:9 A fitting verse for the day my everyday friend, soul sister, monster of the faith and mischievous partner in crime, Kaye, left this world behind and headed to her heavenly home. My husband was able to be by her bedside and said he knew she heard the words of our faith that he shared. Her sweet daughter held the phone up to her ear so I could say good-bye and the brightest single star you have ever seen shown through my bedroom window as she exited this earth! Yesterday, my heart literally ached so badly that I told the Lord, "Take me too!" Wouldn't she have been surprised if I had snuck up on her in heaven and said, "Thought you were going somewhere without me, did ya." When we received the call she was ready to go, I called out to the Lord for comfort and He led me to the Bible Gat

Marriage Matters #1

One of life's deepest hurts is when the one you love is unfaithful. Forty years ago, I remember an older friend, whose wife had been unfaithful and left him for another man saying to me..."Boo, I hope you never experience having the person you love and are married to, living 8 blocks away loving someone else." Deep hurt. They divorced. The wife of another friend of ours was having an affair with a fellow church member and a neighbor of theirs who lived 5 blocks away. She moved in with this man and our friend said one evening he was walking by the house where they were living together and saw them sitting at a table having a candlelight dinner. Ugh. The torment. I've always said it would be aweful to find out the person you were married to and  loved deeply loved another.  Hmm. We are the bride of Christ.  Is He our first love? 2 Peter 2:14 says: They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed

Are You Sinking... Being Tossed About?

  A text came in from our neighbor recently, on a cold blustery day, when I was home with a stomach bug and awful headache. He said, "My canoe blew off our dock and has floated over to your shore."  And I'm thinking..."And you want me to do what?" I explained my husband was at work, but could help in the afternoon. I went to the window and could see the boat being tossed back and forth along our shore line. One minute it was close to our main dock and the next the winds had shifted and it was 200 feet in the opposite direction.  What I then realized is it had been taking on water. A text came again that he was in his car and driving around to our property.  Climbing out of my night shirt, I put on warm ups, UGGS boots and a hooded coat and limped outside to see how I could help. When I arrived to the shore line, the neighbor had tossed a 3 prong hook tied to a rope into the boat and was pulling it to the shore with one hand.  He had recently had hand surgery and
