Another old write uncovered. Sinners and Saints ************ Well the trails I've rode may not show, but there's scars that mark the stops. Theres weeds from those wild seeds I sowed, because I had quite a crop. I knew full well that I was bound for Hell I was proud of all my sins. But, you don't have to be scared now. That was way back then. Those old hard roads took their toll on my body and my mind. I was runnin' with the Devil and sometimes he fell behind.... Then... I ran head on into Jesus and he drove me to my knees. He knocked out every one of the things I'd done and then he set me free. Now, I know where I'm going. It don't matter where I've been. Each day, I praise God, knowing He's forgotten all my sins. It dont matter what you think of me or how many stones you cast. Every sinner has a future and there's no saint without a past. Now, I dont want to talk about All the things I've done. There aint no doubt... If word got out... You'd turn around and run. But, that was then... and this is now. That old mans dead and gone. If the Lord received the likes of me... Then, what are you waitin' on? Now some say... They aint been so bad... So God wont be too tough. But , no matter how good you think you've been... You aint been good enough. Without the Lord We all fall short. Our steps can't win the race. The only way is to kneel and pray and seek His saving grace. Yes, I know where I'm going and it dont matter where I've been. Each day, I praise God, knowing He's forgotten all my sins, And it dont matter what you think of me or how many stones you cast... Every sinner has a future and there's no saint without a past. |

I usually avoid the Gospel messages like the plaque around my teeth, since you dont do it in the first and then and seek release, because that helps only you, who did it. Praying before you order people to kill or be killed is beyond comtempt. Your words and your feelings yes, but religion as an excuse and don't bother me, I've been forgiven - like hell I live with anything and everything I might have done but the biggest hyprochrites I've ever know are those who embrace religion and carry on every day with the activities without changing their spots, looking for the whitewash tomorrow.

I enjoyed this immensely, Uriah. It was a good way to celebrate the return to health of Skyfire's horse Shammie. - Owl |

You could not have offered Him a more well constructed, prayer of respect then this. It reminds me of how transparent David always was. Nice |

XO, here is a XO for you for this fine piece of soul-touching, inspirational, down-to-earth and sky-high writing! "Every sinner has a future and there's no saint without a past." ~ It's good to know that there's hope for me yet!  Sending you a great big, adoring hug! EA  |

"Every sinner has a future and there's no saint without a past." That's certainly the truth! And, yes, it could very well be a song. |

Dear Uriah, You are way beyond your critics since they do not understand grace! Write on. BJ |

quote: That's one of the best quotes about Christianity that I've ever read. Perhaps there's even some inspiration in those lines for me. Thank you.  ~sky I hope someday you get the chance to live like you were dying.... |
