Sudan, China, or the US, Were All One Body

My good friend and fellow brother in Christ, Jared, has a great post up about the body of Christ and how when one part suffers we all suffer. We here in America are so fortunate. For us suffering for Christ may mean loosing our job or ridicule from our fellow countrymen. In places like the Sudan, China, or most parts of the middle east it means death. How fortunate we are to be able to worship our Lord and Savior whenever and wherever we choose. Go check out Jared's post. He says it much more eloquently than I ever could.

Who Am I?

My name is Jim. I run one other blog called Thinking Right, it's political, this one won't be. This blog, this attempt to lift up and worship my Lord and Savior has come from a long painfull journey.

The journey began many years ago when I was a child. I don't remember the date that it happened, the start of this journey, but I remember it started at a Billy Graham crusade here in Denver. That's when I first asked Jesus into my heart. I remember it was such a neat feeling. Like a giant weight had been lifted off of my shoulders.

The years past, and I grew in my relationship to the Lord. Then sometime after I got out of High School I began to drift away from Him. Two years ago, I got very ill and had to be put on life support. I was on a ventilator for three months, and when I awoke I found my life had changed. God began to use this tragedy in my life to bring me back to Him.

I was angry at first. Why did this happen to me? Now see He allowed it to happen because He loved me. That's where I find myself today.

So, what I hope to do with this blog is to document my walk with Him as I find out what He wants me to do with the rest of my life. I also plan on covering items in the news that apply to our Christian life, and whats happening to our brothers and sisters around the world. I promise to try to stay away from politics though.
