The Beauty of Children
Children never cease to amaze me. I think that they give us all a fresh sense of life, of love, and of happiness. As I look at them I can't help but wonder at the beauty God has given us as a human race. In their eyes you can see the intelligence just waiting to soak in all the information. In their actions you see the uncoordinated movements of someone trying so hard to learn things the right way. Most of all, you can sense the innocence. They are untouched by the horrors and evils of this world, merely content to rest in their mother or fathers arms. God is such an amazing God, I can not help but wonder at what He thinks of us when we are children. I know that I am absolutely astonished at the majesty our Lord has given us.

Only One Life
Wow. God is so amazing. His love and passion blow me away. How now shall we live our lives? We should live them in devotion to the One who has given us our all.
What do we do while we're doing that? We live our lives. We don't focus on the future. We don't dwell on the past. We take things day by day, step by step. Love as much as you can, hate as little as possible. Dance for fun, sing with your friends. Don't worry about where your going tomorrow. He'll take care of it. Don't rely on yourself. Your not that great :). Don't forget about your friends. They'll take care of you when life sucks. And trust me, it will stink quite a bit sometimes. The cool thing is that your friends will just plug their noses and keep on loving you. Remember that you only have one heart...be careful who you entrust it with. Don't put your self down too much, but don't puff yourself up either. Give of yourself without abandon. Don't hold on to anything, for we'll leave it all behind someday. Remember that when your at your weakest you have the best opportunity to learn. Don't lose those opportunities. Do something new. Try something that you would never imagine doing in your wildest dreams. Go skydiving. Take a dance class. Volunteer at a soup kitchen. Call your family. They are the people that will stick with you no matter what. Be careful of the advice you give, and receive. Live your life. Be yourself. Love the Lord.
Only one life,
Twill soon be past;
Only what's done for Christ will last.
