Well, back by popular demand...blogging. I know I've left it alone for quite some time, but other things became more important. I will do my best to keep 'em coming. I couldn't let today go by tho' without sharing this video with you. Some of you may have already seen this before...and that's ok. Because it should touch you again. If it doesn't, well, that's really too bad.
We all have a lot of wounds in our lives...some of those caused by our own sin. Many other wounds come from other people. And let's be honest, some of those wounds done to us are to intentionally hurt us. They aren't for good, and are not of God. Our Heavenly Father is a good Father...not wanting to bring harm, but good. We blame Him sometimes, don't we? For the wounds and the hurts done towards us? I've been there. But I don't like that place. It only hurts me and my relationship with God. And watching this video and listening to the words of this song make me realize that my wounds, my scars that may possibly never go away in this life...well, they just really can't compare. They don't compare at all to the wounds that Jesus endured because of.....me. And you. They just really don't. In fact, they are not even on the same level.
So quit your whining, stop your complaining about your wounds, stop thinking how unfair it is (I'm preaching at myself here). As you watch this, and reflect on all that our Savior Jesus suffered through because of us, if this doesn't bring you to your knees in repentance...well then, I don't know what will.

In my favorite sport, tennis, it really is helpful to have a good serve. It could help you in winning more games. In the same way, life is a lot like that. We need to do our best in "serving" others. Jesus didn't come to be served, but to serve. There are many ways to do this. Just maybe, in our service, God will use us "to win one more" for Him...

I made a comment earlier - evidently didn't go through. Excellent job on this. However, the video made me cry (I remember the scenes in the movie and couldn't take it then either) and I love hearing S C Chapman anytime!! Keep up the good work on your blogging. Mom
