Where has Christianity gone? Where can I find it? These are the questions I struggle with all of the time. I feel as though true Christianity is some distant legend; a group of people that are long gone and that have been lost to antiquity. Christ’s message has been perverted in our modern era. “Church” is now a business and the Bible is now a way to persecute people. I long to follow Jesus(God) and his teachings, but they have been thrown about in the waves of humanity. The only place I feel as though I can find him is in my heart. I keep the Bible close, but it does not quench my thirst! I am on a never-ending journey to find “He who is Love.” Jesus, I know you are within me! Please help me to understand your ways, for no man will be able to!

-S.L.

“So I say to you, Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.”

-Jesus Christ

The most important friendships in life are ones that are built on solid foundations. A real and true friendship is a relationship in which one person shares his or her life experiences with another. Mistakes are made and unloving things are sometimes said, but a friendship that has a solid foundation will not crumble. I believe that there are some friendships that span centuries of lives, and these should never be easily thrown away! The virtues of understanding, forgiveness, and love is the cornerstone of these friendships. Never will they truly end…….sometimes they change shape………..never will they end!

-S.L.

“I define friendship as a bond that transcends all barriers. When you are ready to expect anything and everything from friends, good, bad or ugly… that’s what I call true friendship.“
