Finishing Well

I plan to retire...right after lunch on the day I die! Until then I'm here to serve God, love people and talk about Jesus!

Finishing Well

We only live once and then comes eternity.

I want to live in, walk in, soak in the love of God to such an extent that others are drawn to God because of their encounter with me!

Finishing Well is all about how we live our moments. The moments and encounters with others add up to a life lived for self or for God. At the end of my life may people say, "He lived for Christ. He finished well."

Good News!

The most important decision anyone will make is what they believe about God and his message to mankind. If you don't know God personally, but would like to know his love and forgiveness I invite you to take a moment to find out about the GOOD NEWS!

I am second...

There is a web site with stories of lives changed by knowing Jesus Christ as savior. It's a place I invite you to visit. It's called "I am second."

The rules

Your comments and thoughts are welcome. All views are welcome, but there are some basic rules that will apply to those who comment on this blog. Here they are-

1. any view is welcome, but no profanity is allowed.
2. anonymous comments are welcome, but if you are unwilling to give your name your questions as "anonymous" may not be answered or addressed.
3. I reserve the right to delete any comment without any reason at all.
4. This is intended as a devotional and inspirational site. I choose not to make it a platform for theological debate, although I will write about what I believe.
5. Have fun. I hope my words encourage you.

Reposting

You are welcome to copy any of my posts and use them to encourage others. The only thing I ask is that you use these posts as they were written, include an author credit and link to this site. Other than that copy away!

"It takes a lifetime to just begin to understand the truth. It's a long journey, and one that is filled with adventure. To not go is to become mostly bored, and resigned to finding entertainment as stimulus to ease the soul ache." -- D.J. Chuang
