It's that simple

I probably don't fit the idea of what some people would call christian.Suits and ties is not my style.I can honestly say I'm not a church goer even though I'm a member of one.Not proud of that.I have opportunities to go but I don't.Some might be shocked at the music I like.My sense of humor might not fit in with others.I have what some would call a dark side.Far from perfect and asking for help and forgiveness daily is me.At times I feel like a hypocrite.Unworthy of God's love and His forgiveness.

But He has.God has set me free.Not free of struggles and hardships.Not free of sickness or sadness.Not free of broken hearts or loneliness.Being christian doesn't guarantee a life free of any of this.But I am free of eternal death.Don't get me wrong I will die.But I have the promise of God that I will live in His Heavenly home for eternity.

Why do I tell you these things about me?Maybe it needed saying.If a sinner like me can find God's love,forgiveness and grace anyone can.

It is simple.Just ask God for forgiveness and believe that His Son Jesus died for our sins and was resurrected from the grave.It's that simple.

A calling for me

I think maybe there is a calling for me.The need to write.Not for fame or fortune but to be a voice for those no one hears.A voice for the disabled,the helpless and the hopeless.A voice for those forgotten and thrown away.A voice for people who don't fit the norm.

This is on my heart tonight.The Bible teaches us that those who believe in God and follow in His son Jesus footsteps have a calling.

Maybe I have found mine.


Goat named Billy

Once I rode a goat named Billy
The terrain sure was hilly
Only three years old
At that age we are bold
Grandpa and Daddy
Set me on that goat
Down that hill I did float
That goat threw me off
I lost my shoe
Ended up black and blue
Everything said it is true
