Jesus. The Way, the Truth, and the Life.
From Mr. Popular to drug addict to D.J. to Jesus – Sam’s amazing journey to Christ.
Another amazing story has recently hit our inbox.
Sam was an athlete in high school and college and enjoyed being popular and in the limelight. But as these situations often go, Sam didn’t become a professional athlete – instead he became a drug addict.
Find out how God brought someone into his life (like He did for me) to speak the truth to him and get him on the right track.
From Atheist to Believer – a hard-core atheist and miserable drug addict turns to Jesus.
I recently received this moving story from Shawn. He lived a life full of pain and regret. He was a hard-core atheist and fully addicted to drugs. He spent years of his life wallowing in misery and depression. Find out how God freed him from all of it.
One detail that might go unnoticed in this story really struck me. As Shawn lived in a hotel for months on end, he threw a Bible away a number of times. Every time he came back to his room the maid had taken it out of the trash and put it on his bed or nightstand. We don’t know that maid’s name or anything about her. What we know is that her commitment to pulling that Bible out of the trash ultimately saved Shawn’s life.
Let her example encourage you to listen to Jesus today.
His feet, oh those beautiful that were nailed to the cross just so I would not be lost. A poem.
Jesus walked the miles for us. Every step he ever took was in our service. And, ultimately, his feet walked the path of death – for us.

This poem reminds us of the heavy debt Jesus paid for us. He gave His life so we could be free of sin’s bondage.
This poem was recently (well, not so recently; I’ve been busy and my computer’s been in the shop) submitted to us. It’s a beautiful reminder of the debt that Jesus paid for us. He gave His life. He paid for our sins. He paid the debt that we owe.
Nabisco Honey Grahams contain not only high fructose corn syrup, but also partially hydrogenated oils.
Don’t worry, I’ll get back to posting new poems and testimonies soon, but in the meantime, I’m enjoying (or should I say fearing) finding foods in my own cupboards containing high fructose corn syrup.
Today I found a box that says, “Tastes Great and Contains 5 Grams Whole Grain!” The box also boasts that it’s a “sensible solution” with “low saturated fat” and “no cholesterol.” It’s a common food people feed to their babies as a snack as well! What’s this obesity-causing food?
Nabisco Honey Maid Honey Grahams. That’s right. Again, we have a food that seems like it shouldn’t be that bad. But the wonderfully yummy grahams contain not only HFCS, but also soybean oil and/or partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil.
Stay away from this garbage unless you want to grow fat and diseased. My sincere apologies to my baby for ever feeding her such junk.
The seemingly harmless bottle of ketchup in your refrigerator may be the source of your child’s diabetes.
Today, while browsing through some foods in my house, I located another source of HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). It’s ketchup. Ketchup? Yes, ketchup. The brand of the ketchup in my fridge is Hy-Top (Safeway brand I think) but most other ketchups have it too. Heinz, for instance.
Fries and hamburgers are already bad enough for you. Is there any need to add obsesity and diabetes-causing ingredients to a meal that’s already clogging your arteries? Not in my book. My next bottle of ketchup will surely be organic.
Pouring your kid a bowl of Rice Krispies might not be such a good idea, unless you’re into diabetes and obesity.
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS). The single most dastardly ingredient to infect our foods since the inception of time. O.K. Maybe I’m exaggerating a little. But maybe not.
This new section of my blog won’t be about the evils of HFCS. It’s going to be a list of all the foods I find containing it. I’ve been watching for a while now and guess what? It’s everywhere. If you’re not careful you could be eating this garbage all the time!
I’ll start out with a classic food that people have been eating since the dawn of time. Rice Krispies. That’s right. On the side of the box, Kellogs lets us know that . . .
A magical day begins with a balanced breakfast . . . cereals are made from a variety of grains which provide carbohydrates for energy. A serving of cereal as part of your breakfast keeps you from running on empty. Plus, you’ll get vitamins and minerals that help you grow up healthy.
They simply fail to mention that this particular cereal will do much to contribute to obesity and diabetes.
So, next time you’re thinking of pouring a bowl of Rice Krispies for your child – think again.
When we realize that all life’s treasures can’t provide fulfillment, we’re ready for Jesus. A powerful poem.
People work so hard to make their lives significant. Fame, wealth, status . . . but does any of it really matter?
Without Jesus, we’re nothing but broken people. And when we reach that conclusion, Jesus will be there waiting for us.
Read Karen’s first submission (a poem) to our site:
Potions, pills, religions, cults-they provide temporary fixes to mend lives filled with pain & loss. But there’s only one true fix.
This poem reminds us that nothing the world can offer provides true fulfillment. Sure, drugs will cover pain for a short while. Sex can make us feel loved and happy – temporarily. Psychologists provide advice on how to be happy. Oprah tells us what to do to be successful. Movies, the Internet, music, video games, careers . . . the list of temporary fixes goes on forever.
But there is only one true source of fulfillment and that is Jesus Christ.
This poem reminds us of the significance of Easter (yes, I know it’s a bit late); it’s about Jesus!
O.K. I should have posted this back around Easter, when Mike sent it to me, but I’m not that fast. Sorry.
Anyway, this poem reminds us of the significance of the holiday we call Easter. It really has squat to do with the frivolities (bunnies, eggs) associated with it in our society.
