When I say "I am a Christian"

Seek the Lord while he may be found;
Call on him while he is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way
and the evil man his thoughts.
Let him turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are my ways your ways..."

~ Isaiah 55:6-8 NIV


Our Pastor, David Bigley, used the poem below
in his service today. I thought
I would pass it on to you.

I REALLY like this, and can always relate to David's sermons so well.
I Googled the poem when I got home, and found it in this web site. Allot of photos and poems to look through. Sometime, maybe I will browse a little. Whenever I do that though, I tend to spend allot of time.

There are most likely more Carol Wimmer poems too.
Thanks for the poem Carol.
I will also pass on the link to All Creatures.org ~

When I say "I am a Christian"

By: Carol Wimmer
When I say..." I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved"
I'm whispering "I get lost"
"That is why I chose this way"


When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need someone 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 pray for strength to carry on


When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success
I'm admitting I have failed
and cannot ever pay the debt


When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are all too visible
but God believes I'm worth it


When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
which is why I seek His name


When I say..."I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge
I have no authority
I only know I'm loved.


Love to all, Norm
