Christians - By Maya Angelou
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God loves me anyway.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow!
Share this with somebody who already has this
understanding, as reinforcement.
But more importantly, share this with those who do not
have a clear understanding of what it means to be a
Christian, so that the myth that Christians think they
are "perfect" or "better than others" can be dispelled.

We had another good day in church today at
TLBC
Ted Tweet, Missionary to Honduras, was our guest speaker.
He preached on "Christian Confidence". I brought a lesson
in the afternoon services on King Solomon.
Marion had surgery this week and is slowly recovering
from that. Yesterday we strolled down South Tacoma Way
and viewed all the hot rods on show at the annual carshow.
We may take another trip to the ocean next week, Lord willing.
