It’s
almost time to rest from all work including shopping to celebrate the completion
of one journey and the start of another.
Most importantly it’s time to rest to celebrate the end
of a human history relying on human works
leading to defeat and death and the beginning
of an era of God’s grace (undeserved favor)
leading to triumph and life, all and only through the birth of the
savior of mankind, Jesus Christ, who has also become my best friend
since March 16th, 1997. Thanks
to all of your prayers and support I now can rest to celebrate the completion
of
4 years of intensive training at Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS)
and
the
start
of another

My life is a journey of grace from God to me.
May I always walk by God’s grace not by my own works.
This I pray. As
we look ahead, we pray that we would “Think
Globally, Act Locally” after the heart of our savior and Lord,
Jesus Christ no matter where we might be.
Yes, let’s “Think
Globally, Act Locally”, for the glory of our savior and Lord,
Jesus Christ. Merry
Christmas 2006 and Happy New Year 2007!
My dear friends! May
you find abundant grace and live by grace in 2007. In
the Lord Johnny and Nina |
