You won’t find crystal
In a Styrofoam cup,
Just like you can’t swim in concrete
And you’ll never fall up.
And you can’t get to Heaven
By your good deeds
Just like you won’t grow flowers
When you’re planting weeds.
“And to him who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness.” Romans 4:5

I could not do without Thee,
I cannot stand alone,
I have no strength or goodness,
No wisdom of my own;
But Thou, beloved Savior,
Art all in all [...]

The Fourth Question
Where am I going?

The Third Question
Why am I here?
To have a good time, go for it, get everything I can, die with a lot of toys.
No?
Ok, then. I’m here to leave a legacy – to be so nice and good to my fellow man that I’ll have 1000 people at my funeral who’ll give one heartfelt tribute after another to the wonderful [...]
