In Light of This Weekend...

Posted by Erin at 2:48 PM

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living'

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 believes I am worth it.

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!

-Maya Angelou

Thanks to Valleygirl for posting this. I really liked this poem and wanted to share it as well.

    Yeah, I'm really not sure how to handle that either. Sometimes I answer in my own comments section, but then I never know if the person will be back to check for the answer and sometimes I do like I did here and just post a response on the last post. I usually leave emails for more personal notes.

    I know there are some blogs I visit where they very obviously leave their answers in their own comments pages, so I know to check back if I've asked something. I guess maybe it would make sense to choose which approach you're going to use and then stick with it so your readers see the pattern and know what to expect.

    I know the answer!!!!
    you have a spot in your profile in the dashboard where you can click Share e-mail.
    What happens is when you post a comment, your comment sometimes goes into their e-mail. they can then just click reply and voila! sometimes you can talk via e-mail.

    or...you can go into their blog and just post a comment and answer.

    I like the first one, but the other person has to participate.
