Life is Beautiful
Tonight… somewhere between worshiping though music with some close friends and having a great discussion about John 4, life, music and relationships… I was reminded how beautiful life really is. Sometimes I think we get bogged down with ministry and blogs and figuring out who is right and wrong about what. We let the amazing beauty of this life pass us by and overlook the small moments that God has laid out for us. Sometime we need to be reminded to just pause and take it all in.
And isn’t it just great when gives us those “pause” moments? Those moments where the people and things that truly matter seem to shine. It might be a night under the stars filled with good conversation and good friends or a profound conversation with God while driving to work.
So I thought I might create a space for us to share our “life is beautiful” thoughts. Take some time to share what makes your life beautiful. Maybe the last time you stopped and and stood in awe of who God is and what he is orchestrating in this world. Let’s keep in mind that life really is beautiful.

I was so very lost, drugs, alcohol, promiscuity, and on the verge of a bank robbery. After being injured in a street fight I happened to see Billy Graham on TV and in March of 1975 I became a believing follower of the Lord Jesus.
To say life in Christ is beautiful is the infinite understatement. God has been so very gracious to me on this earth but the ultimate joy is to know I HAVE ETERNAL LIFE! Did all of you hear that?? Aside from all our different views, aside from the way we overestimate our importance, aside from all we think we know, aside from all our health problems, and aside from the myriad of ways I fall short in serving Him,
I HAVE ETERNAL LIFE!!
And not one tiny ounce of it was by me, all the glory forever goes to my precious Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. Yes Nathan, my brother, life in Christ is beautiful beyond human words!!
