We want to thank everyone for their prayers and we ask that you keep Niki in prayer. Tomorrow we hope to have an update with some good news to show how God is answering all the prayers being sent up for Niki.

I AM A Christian     
 

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.

 

 

The Baseball Player 

Almighty Father, you who are called the "Mighty Umpire" in this game
of
life, we are not sure what uniforms we should wear.  While we may be
Angels in spirit, in reality we are Giants in pride, Dodgers of
responsibility and Tigers in ambition.  When it comes to faith, we
find
ourselves in the minor leagues.  When it comes to good works, we
strike
out; when it comes to knowledge of your Word, we are not even sure
of
the ground rules.

Therefore, we are thankful for your mercy when we find ourselves in
foul
territory; for your forgiveness when we commit one error after
another;
for your uplifting spirit when we find ourselves in the pitfalls of
a slump.

Dear God may our game plan be your will, and our response a sellout
crowd with standing room only.  And, when our number is retired here
on
earth, may we rejoice to hear you call out, "SAFE," in His name who
gives final victory to all who believe! Amen.

 

 

Have a Blessed Day

Dave and Barbara
