Once or twice a month, I plan on adding a column to this webpage. This website is a labor of love for me and my wife. If you don't no who I am let me tell a little about myself. I was married recently on June 26, 2004 and we are entering my thrid and her second year. We are both from Pulaski, Tn and that is where we plan to return after school is through. With school approaching, I want to remind everyone of the two commandments that are in I John 3:23. 1 John 3:23
And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. The first is to believe in the Son of God, Jesus Christ, our redeemer. The second is that we love one another. Throughout the coming school year, the commandment to love one another should be at the front of everyone's mind. Yes I know that some people are annoying, they have done or said things to hurt us, or act just plain stupid. Yet the commandment here is to love one another.1 John 4:7-9 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. [8] He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. [9] In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. We who know God should love one another. This is a "test" of a true believer. Romans 12:9-10
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. [10] Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Let us have this year brotherly love towards all of our brothers and sisters that are here at school with us. We do not always know what that person next to us is going through, keep judgement for those who know all things about the situation.(i.e. God) All in all, let us have a wonderful and blessed schoolyear, loving one another and uplifting those in times of need. Let us come together as a body and make 2004-2005 one of the best schoolyears ever.
Yours Truly
