My Words to Live By

What is success? To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; That is to have succeeded. - Ralph Waldo Emerson


Follow me, Be My Friend



It's more than clicking "accept."
It's taking up your cross and going where He leads.
It's realizing the sacrifice He made for your sin,
And that on your behalf now He pleads.

It's looking at the world He created
And letting its beauty take your breath away.
Rather than posting, emailing, or texting,
It's taking a moment to rejoice in this day.

It's opening your Bible, studying His word
Instead of scrolling down your newsfeed.
It's about telling others about His mercy
Not updating your status for them to read.

Jesus wanted you to follow him long before Twitter,
Long before Facebook, He longed to be your friend.
And when all of this world fades to dust,
Jesus and His love will endure to the end.
