Snippet

Christianity is not the sacrifice we make, but the sacrifice we trust.  P.T. Forsyth

Scripture

He does not punish us for all our sins;

    he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve.

 For his unfailing love toward those who fear him

    is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.

 He has removed our sins as far from us

    as the east is from the west. Psalms 103:10-12 NLT

Barton Hollow by the Civil Wars

I'm a dead man walking here

But that's the least of all my fears

Ooh, underneath the water

It's not Alabama clay

That gives my trembling hands away

Please forgive me father

Ain't going back to Barton Hollow

Devil gonna follow me e'er I go

Won't do me no good washing in the river

Can't no preacher man save my soul

Did that full moon force my hand?

Or that un marked hundred grand?

Ooh, underneath the water

Please forgive me father

Miles and miles in my bare feet

Still can't lay me down to sleep

If I die before I wake

I know the Lord my soul won't take

I'm a dead man walking

I'm a dead man walking

Keep walking and running and running for miles

Keep walking and running and running for miles

Keep walking and running and running for miles

Ain't going back to Barton Hollow

Devil gonna follow me e'er I go

Won't do me no good washing in the river

Can't no preacher man save my soul       

Sentence Prayer

Knowing that God loves me unconditionally, I look honestly over the last day, its events and my feelings.  Do I have something to be grateful for? Then I give thanks. Is there something I am sorry for? Then I ask forgiveness.  (http://www.sacredspace.ie/daily-prayer/2013-06-02#Consciousness)
