"One cannot know the Christian God by merely observing creation; if that were true, the greatest scientists of the world would be the greatest Christians known to man...rather, one can only know Him by becoming a member of His family."

"Here is one of the benefits of knowing God for yourself; you see, the scriptures say, 'Oh send out your light and your truth and let them lead me...to the places where you live.' See, God's love does more than just visit and meet you where you're at; God's love goes further and says, 'Ok, I've VISITED you and I KNOW where you live--but now, I want to SHOW you where I live!' As you continue to go to your secret place where you pour out your heart before Him, there may come a day when God says, 'It's time; I will now take my friend and show him (or her) the many places where I live.' When that day comes, it will be just...amazing!"

My name's Joe, friend; I personally welcome you to my page. Here, you will find all kinds of good things to read, enjoy, and even IMAGINE! Feel free to comment on anything you like, sign the guestbook, or just chill for a while; this is your "home away from home"--and if you have ANY questions at all about ANYTHING (and I mean ANYTHING), feel free to ask me!

And now, a little about me; I am about 6 feet tall, caucasian male with black hair (you can see me on my avatar picture). I love everybody although sometimes people aggravate me a wee bit when they refuse to even listen or consider what I have to say--but you know, that's just the way things are sometimes. It's just...life. Life's a great thing--but it can be either a sheer joy or utter pain.

Now, I'm not saying that you can just "pretend" that nothing bad goes on in life and IMAGINE your own little world in order to "create" a positive world. Rather, TRUE contentment is found in realizing that even though life does hold great pain at times, it's best to just smile and say "Life may be hard--but God is good." It brings great contentment, friend, to know that God is on your side and therefore, life is full of love, meaning, and purpose.

I have nothing to hide or prove to myself or to others--I am what I am by God's indwelling love and that love shapes and forms me into the kind of person God wants me to be. It is this Divine Light of God's love that not only shapes me into the kind of person God wants me to be but also shines out from my life into the life of everybody else around me!

It's a great world God has put me in and I'm excited about what God is going to do with my life in the future and with the lives of the countless THOUSANDS of others who believe, just as I do, that Jesus is our Savior!

Thanks for stopping by, pal!
