That first CHRISTmas…
Hope…wrapped in a baby
Love…wrapped in a baby
Peace…wrapped in a baby
Forgiveness…wrapped in a baby
Acceptance…wrapped in a baby
Righteousness…wrapped in a baby
Joy…wrapped in a baby
The baby…living the life I could not live…
Three decades later…
The baby wrapped in my filth
The baby wrapped in my guilt
The baby wrapped in my sin
The baby taking my hit.
The baby declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection…wrapping me in His holiness…
merry CHRISTmas

Jesus invaded my life shortly after my arrest at age 26. I spent the first few years of my new life incarcerated. Went to Bible school after parole; have served with Kansas City Youth For Christ, Headwaters Christian Youth (Rhinelander, Wi), Family Life Ministries (Bath, NY), and now with Midland Ministries (Saint Joseph, Mo). Married with four children, work with youth, adults, inmates. Heavily involved in Bible quizzing for four decades. Narrow minded about Jesus and the gospel; fairly open minded about most other things. Speak in churches, camps (both teen and family), civic groups, public schools, Christian schools and colleges...amazed I get to do what I get to do....favorite verse Romans 15.13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing so that you, by the power of the Holy Spirit, may overflow with hope."
