Didn't get around to posting this yesterday, my Easter poem for 2007:
No grave will be His dwelling-place
His gift to us, eternal life
He grants us peace, and truth, and grace
In the midst of earthly strife
No blood, nor riches, sacrificed
Could pay all mankind's sinful debt
But Jesus' work alone sufficed
Though crucified, He's living yet
I regret that I do not make more of an attempt to live up to the example set by my Savior, but if mankind could meet that standard, Jesus would not have had to sacrifice Himself on our behalf. I am grateful for what He did for me.

Fallen Sparrow
why sparrow down?
I am moved by the scripture that says that the Lord is aware of every sparrow that falls.
Matthew 10:29 - 31, the words of Jesus of Nazareth: "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid, you are worth more than many sparrows."
I believe in the doctrines of Christianity - I am indeed fallen and in dire need of redemption. I am sustained only by the grace imputed to me through the sacrifice of Jesus' death and resurrection.
