THIS ONE TIME WHORE...ME. THIS ONE TIME MURDERER...ME. THIS ONE TIME ADULTERER...ME. THIS PIECE OF FILTH...ME. RESCUED FROM THE MIRE OF THIS WORLD, BUT WHOM...MY RESCUER, JESUS CHRIST...WILLED SHOULD STILL EXIST IN THIS WORLD...TO HIM, I OWE MY LIFE! AND I WILL NEVER CEASE TO GIVE HIM ALL THE ADORATION, PRAISE AND THE GLORY! THIS LIFE IS SO HARD SOMETIMES, BUT...I'VE GOT A FRIEND, JESUS CHRIST, AND HE TAKES ME THROUGH. AS HIS WORD SAYS, HE IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS, WHAT HE HAS, AND IS, DOING FOR ONE HE WILL DO FOR ALL!!! WE NEED ONLY SURRENDER TO HIM TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY AND HE WILL DO THE REST. SO IN THE MIDST OF IT ALL, I SEE HIM! AND I TRY TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO SEE HIM TOO. FOR HE LOVES US AND IS FAITHFUL, AND I LOVE HIM! 'HE'...IS WHO THE MAJORITY OF MY WRITINGS ARE ABOUT. 'HE' DESERVES ALL THE PRAISE, INDEED! I WOULD ASK THAT ALL GO TO AND READ THESE POSTINGS ON MY DEN; 'BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED', 'TARNISHED', 'SHALL WE GO ON?" 'NOBODY ELSE', 'USED', 'ABORTION', 'DRAW US'. THERE ARE SO MANY MORE BUT THESE COME TO MIND. SO, WHAT AM I SAYING? IF YOU SEE ANY LIGHT AT ALL IN MY WRITINGS, PLEASE KNOW...IT'S ALL 'JESUS'. I AM NOTHING, SAVE FOR THE MERCY AND GRACE OF OUR CREATOR AND REDEEMER, THROUGH WHOM I SURVIVE FROM DAY TO DAY. THUS, ALL THE ADORATION, GLORY AND HOMAGE GOES TO 'HIM' WHO IS THE ONE AND ONLY... GOD ALMIGHTY! PLEASE KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT IN ANY WAY A REBUKE, BUT RATHER AN 'EXPLANATION' OF WHERE I AM COMING FROM IN THIS, AND SO MANY OTHER, POSTINGS. WITH MUCH LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

When I think of you Joyce, I think of an Angel readying to enter

the gates of Paradise. I see a smiling Jesus who says,

well done my girl, you take front seat now, for all the back seats are

taken, stay beautiful my love, your deserve the very best that life

has to offer, the best that heaven can provide, :)
