Greetings from the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas.

Remember the Alamo! Texans fought hard for their independence from Mexico and fought to the last one. They believed in the dream of freedom and independence so much that they gave their lives for that dream.

What are you willing to give your life for?

Your family, a friend, and enemy? It would seem crazy to give your live for someone who mocks or tortures you for your threat to their political (religious) system. No, I am not talking about US politics, I am talking about Jesus. He gave up His life for you and me, and even His enemies.

We can gain freedom from sin and have a relationship with our Heavenly Father because Jesus was willing to give his life for us.

I'm thankful for those that have given up so much for me. Today I will choose to stand a little taller and share a little louder about the saving work of Jesus in my life. May the very presence of Jesus in me influence those I come in contact with.

I want my life to leak Jesus onto those around me!

Colossians 1:27 New International Version (NIV)

27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
