Congratulations Graduate!

It's been fun to watch you become a fine young person, pleasing and acceptable to your parents. 

Now that you've met the matriculation requirements, the real learning can begin, this time choosing for yourself the areas of interest to pursue. It's an exciting time. We wish you much success. In all your pursuits, may we encourage you to desire to have a heart for God, endeavoring to be pleasing and acceptable to Him. 

There will be many voices in the world calling you, offering their wisdom and pleasures, but theirs is a fleeting moment of satisfaction down a path that seeks to drown out God's offering of His wisdom. It's a matter of, that which is good versus that which is evil, spiritual life versus spiritual death. It is that serious. There's only one place to find the life of God [Eph 4:18], and that is in His perfectly preserved and pure word, the King James Bible.

 ~Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and 

WITH ALL THY GETTING GET UDERSTANDING. [Proverbs 4:7] 

Know this: Understanding comes only from God through His word and is critical to making wise choices in life.

 ~GIVE therefore thy servant an UNDERSTANDING HEART 

to judge thy people, THAT I MAY DISCERN 

between GOOD AND BAD: [1 Kings 3:9] 

May you walk in His way, holding the lamp of His word up to enlighten the path you now begin in this next phase of your life: the reward of doing so is of eternal value. 

 May God bless you according to the riches of His grace in Christ Jesus. 

~Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? 

 by TAKING HEED thereto 

ACCORDING TO THY WORD. [Psalms 119:9] 

Too Late

 Too Late

If only I would have said "Yes!" to Thee.

For I must follow the man in the hood.

But now it is too late -- too late for me.

I know now that You were right -- NOW I see.

"Let me do it over, You know I would."

If only I would have said "Yes!" to Thee.

I thought I had lots of time to live free;

You  came sooner than I thought that You would. 

But now it is too late -- too late for me. 

"Every knee shall bow?" I am on my knees!

Asking "let me in!"  If only You could...

If only I would have said "Yes!" to Thee.  

Other than constant love, You let me be

To live my life the way I thought I should. 

But now it is too late -- too late for me.  

How well earned is my fate!  Hell is for me. 

"Yes, Lord!  Yes!"  I scream, though it does not good. 

If only I would have said "Yes!" to Thee.

But now it is too late -- too late for me.

Ignorant labeling of a person

"I have a major problem with labels.  More often than not, they characterize a person according to the definition imposed upon him by the questioner.  They are also very subjective because the person who imposes the label on another rarely knows what the labeled person actually believes."
