Jesus, the Great Equalizer

Jesus is the great equalizer. It doesn't matter how messed up you are, how much money you have, what a rotter you have been or how charitable and together you are. You need Jesus.
The truth of the matter is, if you don't accept Jesus' perfect sacrifice on the cross as atonement for your fallen, sinful nature, you won't go to heaven. You will be eternally separated from God and your believing loved ones. Your present life on earth will always lack something only Jesus can provide.
Other faiths offer a works-based approach to salvation. Christianity is the only true path to eternity as well as fulfillment in this lifetime.
No man is perfect. Paul lamented about falling back into sin, no matter how hard he tried.

"I don't really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don't do it. Instead, I do what I hate." Romans 7:15 (I can sure relate!)

He goes on to acknowledge that he isn't good in his own right.

"For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out." Romans 7:18

He goes on to praise God for providing The Answer.

"Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God's law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin." Romans 7:25 NLT

The Law, or 10 Commandments, was given to the Hebrews so they could see how sinful they really were. After all, why have laws if everybody is perfect and lives in harmony with everyone else. Nobody could keep it, so they had to burn sacrifices.

Jesus' death on the cross put an end to that. We live under grace, not legalism. Jesus fulfilled the law.
When we confess our sin to God Himself, He is trustworthy and faithful to forgive.
We are free to follow Him or to follow ungodliness. That is a personal choice we each must make.

How grateful I am to live in a country that still guarantees my First Amendment freedom to compose this post and not live in fear of my head being severed from my body.

How grateful I am also for spell check!

May God bless you!

First Day of Spring

Cherry blossom tree in Springtime with light blue sky Today is the first day of Spring.  As of late, I have presented a lot of dark, weighty subject material. I thought it was time for something positive and lighter. While Winter serves as a cushion and break from the outside sensory world, it also renews me for the next season. Spring helps me to appreciate the present a little more, as Summer can be tough with kids being off of school and setting off fireworks. Here is to the present. I also want to take the time to thank the Lord for always being with me, no matter how dark things get.

The Onion in the Petunia Patch Chapter Two

Chapter Two: Treatments I am wearing a tight-fitting skullcap. The things on the skullcap are injected with gel and then wires called leads are connected to them. Before the skullcap can go on, though, I must have my forehead wiped with a   gritty   cleanser that will allow the leads to get a "cleaner" picture of my brain activity.  The skullcap has two straps that my mom fastens to my chest. It is now time for my EEG. Unlike EEG's that map out images of the brain, this one will be recording my brain waves. The objective is to find out if there is any disturbance in my brain waves, and if there is, enough to warrant intervention. If you are touch sensitive, I do not see how you could have this test done. I am not touch sensitive, but I found when the gel was being injected into the little red things, it felt like my scalp was getting the injection. I even asked if they were giving me a shot in my scalp. They assured me I was not getting an injection in my scal...
