This morning I had the privilege of attending a commencement ceremony held at Water Street Rescue Mission (recently the mission changed its name to Water Street Ministries). Nine men had completed the 12 month program. Two of these nine are part of our church family here at Grace (congrats Don and Chris!). All nine of these guys had hit the bottom of life's barrel. They had no where to go -- so they came to Water Street and there they found Jesus (or perhaps better said, "were found there by Jesus")! Each one gave a "speech." And each one told how Jesus Christ had transformed his life. Even though the room was a comfortable temperature - I found my eyes sweating on more than one occasion! All these guys discovered a truth about God that more people need to understand - God's grace is sufficient. Apart from Jesus we can do NOTHING - but we can do everything through HIM who strengthens us (see 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, John 15:5 and Philippians 4:13)!Thanks for stopping by . . .
