When I say... "I am a Christian", I am not shouting "I'm clean livin'"
I'm whispering " I was lost,now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say... "I am a Christian", I'm not trying to be strong.
I am professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.
When I say... "I am a Christian", I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need GOD to clean my mess.
When I say "I am a Christian", I'm not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are far too visible, but GOD believes I am worth it.
When I say... "I am a Christian", I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon HIS name.
When I say... "I am a Christian", I'm not holier than thou.
I'm just a simple sinner who received GOD'S good grace somehow!

My Friend Angel
Has shown me in her stories a young man that is forced into situations he is not ready for,yet in the end triumphs over those that would wish him harm. I have come to love his "giggle,giggle" and "OH,GEEZ." Both are hallmarks of an Angel O'Hare story.
May Your Light Forever Shine

Your definition of a Christian is a very rare Christian indeed. A great definition, but one that fits very few Christians I have ever ran across and I used to be one. I believe in God, but I am more of a spiritualist than a religious person.
We each define and become what we are, either for the good, or for evil, or even a balance of the two by the way we choose to live and how we help or hinder humankind.
If there is a life beyond this one, when we die, we shall see. I choose to live my life as if there is no tomorrow, that way, if there is, then maybe I'll luck out somehow.
Thank you for enjoying my writing!
