Winner for the Week

Winner of the Week: Jesus Christ
It's amazing what Jesus Christ can do and what He did for us. His pain makes a lot of what we go through on a daily basis very trivial. We look to Him for answers to a lot of our toughest questions. It's also important to be thankful to Him for blessings that we have now.
On a side note...
A few years ago, at a school I was working at, we had a Turkish instructor visiting for a couple months. He talked about how respectful and beautiful the churches are in Turkey. This man spoke very good English but had trouble a with a few words. "Jesus Christ" was one of them. The instructor would often reference these religious frescos in Turkey which are basically wall paintings. However, when he would talk about them, he would say something like, "The frescos are so beautiful...especially the ones with Cheez Christ." Some of us staff members would look at each other with look like, "Did he just say "Cheese"?

Struke, your choice for the winner this week made me smile and could not have been more appropriate. It is so amazing, isn't it, when we stop and think what Christ has done for us.

Your side note made me laugh! :D
Thanks for that.

Bella...Even in my hybrid, it would take a few tanks of gas to make it down south for your soiree.

Daisy...I am really thankful for what Christ has done in my life. I pray everyday and thank the Lord for what He has done for me.
