When Jesus died, He died as my representative, and I died in Him; when He arose, He rose as my representative, and I arose in Him; when He ascended up on high and took His place at the right hand of the Father in the glory, He ascended as my representative and I ascended in Him, and today I am seated in Christ with God in the heavenlies. I look at the cross of Christ, and I know that atonement has been made for my sins; I look at the open sepulcher and the risen and ascended Lord, and I know the atonement has been accepted. There no longer remains a single sin on me, no matter how many or how great my sins may have been.

"Love & Marriage"
 
 
Here are "Love & Marriage" as seen through the eyes of our kids!
  
How Does a Person Decide Who to Marry?
"You flip a nickel, and heads means you stay with him and tails means you try the next one."
Kally, age 9
 
"You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff.  Like if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming."
Allan, age 10
 
"No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you got to find out later who you're stuck with."
Kirsten, age 10
 
What Do You Think Your Mom and Dad Have in Common?
"Both don't want no more kids."
Lori, age 8
What is the Proper Age to Get Married?
"Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then!"
Cam, age 10
 
"No age is good to get married at.... You got to be a fool to get married!"
Freddie, age 6
 
How Can a Stranger Tell if Two People are Married?
"Married people usually look happy to talk to other people."
Eddie, age 6
 
"You might have to guess based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids."
Derrick, age 8
 
What Do Most People Do on a Date?
"Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough."
Lynnette, age 8
 
"On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date."
Martin, age 10
 
When is It Okay to Kiss Someone?
"When they're rich!"
Pam, age 7
 
"The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that."
Curt, age 7
 
"The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them... It's the right thing to do."
Howard, age 8
What Would You Do on a First Date That Was Turning Sour?
"I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns."
Craig, age 9
 
The Great Debate:
Is It Better to Be Single or Married?
"I don't know which is better, but I'll tell you one thing ... I'm never going to have sex with my wife.  I don't want to be all grossed out!"
Theodore, age 8
 
"It's better for girls to be single but not for boys.  Boys need somebody to clean up after them!"
Anita, age 9
 
"Single is better ... for the simple reason that I wouldn't want to change no diapers... Of course, if I did get married, I'd figure something out.  I'd just phone my mother and have her come over for some coffee and diaper-changing."
Kirsten, age 10
 
What Advice Do You Have for a Young Couple About to Be Married?
"The first thing I'd say to them is: 'Listen up, youngins ... I got something to say to you.  Why in the heck do you wanna get married, anyway?'"

"Little Leroy"
 
 
Little Leroy came into the kitchen where his mother was
making dinner. His birthday was coming up and he thought
this was a good time to tell his Mother what he wanted.
"Mom, I want a bike for my birthday.
" Little Leroy was a bit of a troublemaker. He had gotten
into trouble at school and at home.
Leroy's mother asked him if he thought he deserved to get
a bike for his birthday. Little Leroy, of course,
thought he did.
Leroy's mother, being a Christian woman, wanted him to
reflect on his behavior over the last year and write a
letter to God to tell him why he deserved a bike for his
birthday.
Little Leroy stomped up the steps to his room and sat down
to write God a letter.
LETTER 1: Dear God, I have been a very good boy this year
and I would like a bike for my birthday. I want a red one.
Your friend, Leroy. Leroy knew this wasn't true. He had
not been a very good boy this year, so he tore up the letter
and started again.
LETTER 2: Dear God, This is your friend Leroy. I have been
a pretty good boy this year, and I would like a red bike for
my birthday Thank you, Leroy. Leroy knew this wasn't true
either. He tore up the letter and started again.
LETTER 3: Dear God, I have been an OK boy this year and I
would really like a red bike for my birthday. Leroy knew
he could not send this letter to God either. He was very upset.
He went downstairs and told his mother he wanted to go to church.
 
Leroy's mother thought her plan had worked because Leroy
looked very sad.
"Just be home in time for dinner," his Mother said.
Leroy walked down the street to the church and up to the altar.
He looked around to see if anyone was there.
He picked up a statue of the Virgin Mary.
He slipped it under his shirt and ran out of the church,
down the street, into his house, and up to his room.
He shut the door and sat down with a piece of paper and
a pen. Leroy began to write another letter to God.'
LETTER 4: I'VE GOT YOUR MOM. IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER
AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE.
Signed, YOU KNOW WHO.
 
 
"A Following Person" '
 
A teacher was sitting at her desk grading papers when her first-grade class came back from lunch. Alice informed the teacher, "Paul has to go to the principal's office."
 
"I wonder why," the teacher mused.
 
"Because he's a following person," Alice replied.
 
"A what?" the teacher asked.
 
"It came over the loudspeaker: 'The following persons are to go to the office.'"
 
Have a Blessed Day
