Emmanuel

He begat her, she begat He

28 generations Abraham to our King

Honorable soul, worthy indeed

Chosen by God, a prophecy to read

 

A promise fulfilled, a promise foretold

A prophecy kept in the stories of old

An angel appears in a worthy man’s dream

Do not fear what this woman brings

 

For the prophets have told our King will arrive

Through a virgin birth, welcome this child

Welcome he did, fears laid to rest

Marrying her, passing the test

 

Laying not with her till the child was born

Foregoing ridicule, mockery, scorn

Trusting prophecy, and an angel sent

Trusting our Savior’s approaching decent

 

Perfectly recorded, told so well

“God with us,” Emmanuel

My life is just like everyone else’s. I’m just doing the best I can do, and apparently, it takes me a long time to learn and understand things.

A Journey for Life

I was probably the worst teenager in the world.

Well, maybe not in the whole world – but possibly in Pontotoc County, Oklahoma. At least that’s how I feel sometimes now looking back. I was selfish in my actions, naive, stubborn, and had a rebellious streak a mile wide. Oh, how I did NOT like to be told what to do. I wanted to do what I wanted to do. More than anything, I just wanted to be treated like an adult, make my own decisions, and be on my own.

Jesus Lives!

Easter, or Resurrection Day – whichever you prefer – is upon us. The time when we celebrate our Risen Savior, remember what He did for us, and reflect on His sacrifice and what it means to the world.
