A Way of Blessing

All you who fear God, how blessed you are! How happily you walk on his smooth straight road!

Psalm 128:1, The Message


"The road we travel is the well-traveled road of discipleship. It is not the way of boredom or despair or confusion. It is not a miserable groping but a way of blessing.

There are no tricks involved in getting in on this life of blessing, and no luck required. We simply become Christians and begin the life of faith. We acknowledge God as our maker and lover and accept Christ as the means by which we can be in living relationship with God."
