I read my Bible page by page
In my mind I see the stage
Where the Lord once stood
His heart filled with good

Enduring so many trials
Traveling a million miles
Working miracles along the way
Showing love in the things He may say

He turned water into wine
With the chosen twelve He dined
Telling of His Father's love
Sent down from heaven above

He could calm the fiercest sea
Amazing both you and me
He payed the ultimate price
Giving Himself as a sacrifice

You have highlighted Jesus' life nicely... I am like you when I read the Bible, it's like the stories take stage and I see them right before my eyes taking place.  God Bless You, Bob <><

Lone Wolf-
  This is good, the way we see Jesus, His actions, his person, his character- is through the eyes of Faith- through the hearing of the word.  Through the Word-- Jesus can become very real & very dear ro us.  God bless you as you seek in thru the Word.   David


WOW- another day of life-and here among friends!
Ain't God Grand!

Described well! Then think, He did all this for us, and didn't complain, my feet hurt, I'm tired, I'm hungry.

What we do in comparision is nothing...
You've really brought out what an AWESOME God we have!
