Congratulations, 2gether!
I pray for the Lord's blessing on this new chapter in your lives.
I thought I'd share this with everyone, I just rec'd it tonight:
Napoleon expressed these thoughts while he was exiled
on the rock of St. Helena...
There, the conqueror of civilized Europe had time to reflect on the measure of his accomplishments.
He called Count Montholon to his side and asked him,
"Can you tell me who Jesus Christ was?"
The count declined to respond.
Napoleon countered: "Well then, I will tell you.
Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne and I myself have founded great empires; but upon what did these creations of our genius depend?
Upon force.
Jesus alone founded His empire upon love,
and to this very day millions will die for Him....
I think I understand something of human nature;
and I tell you, all these were men, and I am a man:
none else is like Him; Jesus Christ was more than man....
I have inspired multitudes with such an enthusiastic devotion
that they would have died for me....
but to do this it was necessary that I should be visibly present with the electric influence of my looks, my words, of my voice.
When I saw men and spoke to them,
I lighted up the flame of self-devotion in their hearts....
Christ alone has succeeded in so raising the mind of man toward the unseen, that it becomes insensible to the barriers of time and space.
Across a chasm of eighteen hundred years,
Jesus Christ makes a demand which is beyond all others to satisfy;
He asks for that which a philosopher may seek in vain at the hands of his friends, or a father of his children, or a bride of her spouse,
or a man of his brother.
He asks for the human heart; He will have it entirely to Himself.
He demands it unconditionally; and forthwith His demand is granted. Wonderful! In defiance of time and space, the soul of man, with all its powers and faculties, becomes an annexation to the empire of Christ.
All who sincerely believe in Him, experience that remarkable,
supernatural love toward Him.
This phenomenon is accountable;
it is altogether beyond the scope of man's creative powers.
Time, the great destroyer, is powerless to extinguish this sacred flame;
time can neither exhaust its strength nor put a limit to its range.
This is it, which strikes me most; I have often thought of it.
This is which proves to me quite convincingly the Divinity of Jesus Christ."
Hi everyone! Thanks so much for your prayers. We were very fortunate to walk away with only the minor injuries. Today I feel really strange - it isn't the medicine they prescribed (pain reliever & muscle relaxers) as I didn't even get those filled. My neck is sore (nor terribly bad) my upper forearms hurt, I can't seem to stop shaking, my head feels really funny (I didn't hit it on anything) - keep feeling dizzy and feel like I'm gonna be sick, also feel off balance, like everything is tilted. My right ear did hurt after the impact but they checked it and said it looked fine. Think maybe it's just nerves or shock.
