In light of recent events in my life, and the wrestling my family and I have made with strong emotions and challenges, I decided to re-post this letter I wrote to a friend which has brought me needed comfort and Truth. I pray it will also bring guidance to someone out there struggling with the…
My friends, here is a topic I have grown more confident about as the years have passed. Should children worship with their parents during the Sunday morning service, or should they be sent away to a special “Children’s Church” in another room?

Or they just sent him in from the car with a $10 bill for his lunch.
What a thought! A pre-incarnate Jesus Christ, with his Father, looking down from heaven upon the whole span of time. Observing this wretched earth, full of sin and in desperate need of salvation, he seeks a person to “intercede” on behalf of the humans he loves so dearly. Finding no one to get the job done, the Lord himself takes the task in hand. He accomplishes salvation for mankind on his own! Simply because he loved us and could not bear to have us separated from him.
HAHA! “If you need a job done right…do it yourself!”
