1976 “-” ????

The two dates of an epitaph are merely the beginning and the end.  Yet, that dash in the middle is the sum total of our existence…  When all of this life was started, God had a plan.

There are so many cliche’ responses to the “meaning of life”, but the truth is, life is not about what we do as much as it is who we are.  God is about taking our hearts and weaving in the realities of His Kingdom into our every day…  bringing practical, relevant and tangible difference to our lives.

Meaning is found, not in our conditioned responses, but in our experiences and expressions of God’s character and nature.  We are invited to come alive within Christ-like influence, not obligation, performance or expectation.  It’s about our “BEING”, no our doing.

Meaning comes when purpose is found.

Purpose comes at the feet of Jesus - not church membership or attendance; not good works; and not in saying all the right lingo…  The simplicity of Christ’s Gospel is found in a personal, intimate connection to the one who is there for you, accepts you as you are, releases you of all your junk, believes in you for all He placed in you… God has a plan to make you prosper and not to harm you.

God is enamored at all that you are…  will you let Him love you like that?
