It's not about us

The Christian life can be explained only in terms of Jesus Christ, and if your life as a Christian can still be explained in terms of you--your personality, your willpower, your gift, your talent, your money, your courage, your scholarship, your dedication, your sacrifice, or your anything--then although you may have the Christian life, you are not yet living it.
- Ian Thomas

Hey Liz,

Great quote! You sure are missed on Sundays. I'm glad you get the Cd's but it just isn't the same as getting to see you worshipping with us and fellowshipping. I know you get CCA and I hope you can soon get more. God bless!
