Letter To Sophia Grace

Today, we have gathered to say our last goodbyes and pay our respects to a one of a kind woman, named Tessie Hutchinson. Tessie died from such a dreadful accident that none of us should be proud of. I know she would have want us all to end the Lottery and be affectionate to one another like she treated you guys. She has inspired all of us to make this town a better place for everybody and treat people with respect and kindness. We all should be grateful that Tessie rubbed off all of her incredible traits on us to make us better people inside and out. In her lifetime she has created legacies beyond her own capability. Nobody could ever replace the kind hearted women, who cared and put a smile on every single soul in this town. Tessie Hutchinson, caring about everybody in this town, was

This is the story of me, Anna Carter, before and after it happened. “After what happened?” you might wonder. I’ll get to that if I have time. But for now, let’s talk about before.

PRAISE BE TO THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA THE BEGINNING AND THE END. I GIVE YOU THANKS AND PRAISE FOR YOUR GOODNESS, YOUR MERCY, AND YOUR GRACE. I GIVE YOU THANKS FOR A MIND TO PRAY, A HEART TO SEEK YOUR FACE, AND THE AUTHORITY TO BRING MY MEMBERS UNDER SUBJECTION. I THANK-YOU FOR THIS MOMENT AND THE OPPORTUNITY EACH DAY BRINGS, I KNOW THAT EACH DAY IS SPECIAL AND I HAVE POWER, FULFILLMENT, AND UNLIMITED ,POTENTIAL.

Thou hast decided to remain with us through thy admirable image, thou who art our Mother, our health and our life. Placing ourselves beneath thy maternal gaze and having recourse to thee in all our necessities we need do nothing more. O Holy

That he will see things clearly. That he will hear your voice. That he will know the truth. And that the truth will set him free, according to your Word."I pray your Holy Spirit convicts his heart on slacking in his walk of faith and bring him into repentance and give him a mindset to obey you. That he seeks your Will. That he knows your Love. And that he seek to fulfill your teaching and instruction of your Word.

I could sit here and share with the board a sad story of a young child whose single mother worked the graveyard shift every day of the week, just to provide for her four young children. I could also share how despondent that I felt growing up, and how my mother shopped for my clothes from thrift shops, how she would get excited when she found something named brand for us. But I won't do that, instead I would like to introduce you to a delightfully chaotic little girl named Audriana- Faith. On August 15, 2012 Audriana-Faith was born at 1:41 am, weighing in 6 pounds and 12 ounces. The day my daughter was born was a day embedded in my memory, but it was not the best day of my life. I know that's what you're supposed to say, but becoming a mother

We have to realize that there is only one way to God and that is threw Jesus. Without him we couldn’t be with God because we have sin but Jesus sacrificed himself and paid for our sin so that we can be with God for eternity. We have to accept Christ personally into our lives because if we don’t we go to hell but if we do we got with God in heaven

As was discussed during our first post for the week, Capon (2002) stated, “You judge yourself by taking your stand on the law’s demands rather than on my righteousness which is yours for the believing” (p.368). The Gospel demonstrates that God has provided everything for our salvation including the death of His son. The only thing we need to do is to believe. Kinnaman, S. & Lane, L. (2010) stated, “While other religions teach that something must be done to earn God’s favor and salvation, Christianity teaches that Jesus has already secured our salvation. God reaches out to people in Christ, rather than people reaching out to God” (p.37). It is critical to comprehend that to stand on the law means to try to justify oneself before God on account of our own actions. The truth is, that we cannot follow God’s law to perfection, and can never accomplish what it demands.

I have been thinking about you all week and how proud of you I am. You have accomplished so much this year, you set your mind to your plan and goal and saw it through. You worked hard physically, mentally and emotionally for this next phase. I pray every night to our Lord, Nana, Tata and Grandma that they continue to help you, guide you with their love, faith and wisdom. That God gives you wings on your feet, strength in your back and knowledge in your mind to complete the academy with success.

“Sunday night there was tragedy in the church; a little girl lost her life. When police finish the investigation we will know more. In the meantime, please pray for the family, and the parish community.”

I want to thank you for the opportunity for the invitation to preach this past Sunday at Christ Memorial. I was a true honor and a privilege to be able to have the chance to preach at the church where my entire foundation in Christ started. I wanted to let you know how much of an impact you have been in my life when you may have least expected it. Even though I may have been young and been around several pastors and mentors, I have always appreciated the pastor that you were to me in my life. I appreciate that you embraced me at such a young age and it helped me create so many memories that have and will last a lifetime.

When this question is personalized, it becomes the most important question one will ever be asked or answer. Who is Jesus Christ to YOU? Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:10, NKJV). In 1 John 5:11-13 we are told that if we have the son in our life we can KNOW that we have eternal life. Jesus is the only way for us to live an abundant life here on earth, or receive eternal life in fellowship with God. Jesus died on the cross to take the punsihment for our sins so that we could be sinless in the eyes of God. If we do not receive the free gift of eternal life by experiencing the forgiveness achieved by Jesus, then we will receive the punishment we

To my parents Antonio & Shilma Morales and to my siblings, my motivation for this humble work is a sign of my love for you all.

However, in order for us to truly have a relationship with God (take the first step); we must first accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. We have to accept Christ as our Savior because we can’t have a personal relationship with God as long as we are with sin .In order to make atonement for our sins, we have to accept Christ. To accept Christ, which can be done anywhere, anytime and anyplace, is taking the first step to building a relationship with God, we must confess of our sins, repent of our sins, confess with our mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior and he died on the cross for our sins, and finally, have faith in our prayers (what we just said, or simply put, just talking to God). By following the steps mentioned above, we are considered born again Christians and can now have a loving relationship with God. Although it is not required, Christians also get baptized in holy water to cleanse the body (flesh) of all of its sin, generally the same day they accept Jesus as their Savior. Christians prefer to do this step because Jesus was

In early 1977, the world as I knew it was slowly dissolving. My beloved grandfather became gravely ill, and transgressed to the next realm in August of 1981. This was a very dark difficult period for my family. The happiest days of my life were spent with my grandparents. It became extremely difficult to concentrate and control my emotions during this period. On June 6, 1984, the joy of my life was birthed into this world, my son. His birth signaled a new journey for me, setting a solid foundation for the rest of my life. I was a newly minted wife and mother with different responsibilities for the care and lives of two other people. This foundation helped me to deal with the blow of my grandmother transgressing from brain cancer less than one month after the birth of my son. My
