Greatness of God and the Grace of Christ

If I might fully grasp the greatness of God

     I must then tremble in the fear of The Lord

Let my trembling be changed into dancing

     Because of the surpassing grace of Christ

Death as a Teacher

There is only one thing 

that a heroic, intentional death and a 

tragic, unnecessary death have in common:

A voice that calls out from the grave that says: 

"Learn from me!"
