What Cancer CANNOT do....

I have a poem about Cancer to share, Doug, my pastor, read it last night at church.
I thought I would share it with everyone.
What Cancer Cannot Do
Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit.

This poem is really true and I can relate to it.

Thats all for tonight..

"Pressing On"

I've started going to a Bible Study with some ladies from my church, and last night we were suppose to memorize Philippians 3:12-14 which says "12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." So we are to press on towards what is ahead and forget what has happened in the past. This is what Jesus does about our sin, and we can't forget the sins we've comitted and they keep creeping back up into ourlives.

There is also a song by Relient K called 'Pressing On" and it goes like this:
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
There's only one thing left to do.
Drop all I have and go with you.

[Chorus:]Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind.
My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
We're going and I'm never knowing (never knowing) where we're going.
To go back to where I was would just be wrong.
I'm pressing on.
Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.
'Cause I'm done with that,
I've got one foot out the door.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on.

I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Adversity, we get around it.
Searched for joy, in you I found it.

You look down on me, but you don't look down on me at all.
You smile and laugh, and I feel the love you have for me.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here, and we're gonna make it after all.

Just Grace or AMAZING Grace????

Tonight at church Doug was talking about a "seeker-friendly" church that changed the word wretch to man. When asked why they did that, they simply said wretch is too harsh. The person who asked that said you don't have a full understanding of grace. If you change wretch to man, it goes from amazing grace to just grace. I completely agree with that.. So what is grace to you? Is it AMAZING or not???
