  good your vows

  Will you proclaim by word and example the Good

  News of God in Christ?

          I will, with God's help.

   Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving

your neighbor as yourself?

    I will, with God's help.

Will you strive for justice and peace among all

people, and respect the dignity of every human

being?

I will, with God's help.

                                       Psalm 119:68

                                              LJB Version

         ou 

        are 

        good 

        and

Tuesday evening

                                                          Romans 14:7-8  

We 

do 

not 

live 

to

our-

selves, 

and we do not die to ourselves. If we 

live, we live to the Lord, and if we  

die, we die to the Lord; so then, 

whether we live or whether 

we die, we are the Lord’s.

                                                                           This passage 

                                                 is one of  my all time 

                                          favorite baseline phrases 

                                  which sets me on solid ground  

                          no matter what is going on. I have 

                  had this image on my desktop for long 

       time waiting for the appropriate time & 

  today is the day. What would we DO 

without God?
