Congratulations on your award! Enjoyed your letter and pictures. Hope you got all the newspaper clippings about Lebron. Can’t wait ’til Miami plays the Cavs so we can hear him get booed.

  Hi Bob & Pat,
  Thanks! It was great to hear from you. Yes, I agree with you on LeBron – I hope Chris Paul (G) ends up in Orlando & then maybe the Miami would finish second in the east – LOL, that would be awesome! I got tired of all the news about LeBron, it was more coverage than the BP oil disaster! I heard that people in NE Ohio were sending their old LeBron jerseys to Miami homeless shelters (instead of burning them) – that’s was nice to hear. Take Care, Blessings & Peace & Love – Virgil.

The Free Gift of God's Grace

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast" - Ephesians 2:8-9

Grace is the favor shown by God to us, achieved through what Jesus did on the cross. Our past sins are not only forgiven (through Jesus' sacrifice), but we are transformed to live a new life with God's power and grace working within us.

Good works are proof of our salvation, not a requirement of salvation (as Jesus paid the full price for us).

When you accept the free gift of God's grace, you become aware of who you've become in Christ...and where you now stand with God.

That you are His child. That you carry his nature. That you're not trying to become - you've already been brought into the kingdom of His Son.

And your heart begins to see that, and everything starts to shift. Grace begins to work in you and through you. That's where salvation becomes real here and now, in this life.

Boldness replaces hesitation. Rest (peace) replaces striving (longing). Life replaces death.
