Thanks, AZ, for the red, white, and blue tribute.
As I walked into church one Sunday morning, a little boy looked at me and said to his mother, Mom, is that Jesus? Needless to say, I was curious to hear her response. No, she said, thats our pastor.
I knew she would say no, of course, but I still wished she could have added something like, No, thats our pastor, but he reminds us a lot of Jesus.
Being like Jesus is the purpose of life for those of us who are called to follow Him. In fact, as John Stott notes, it is the all-consuming goal of our past, our present, and our future. Romans 8:29 tells us that in the past we were predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son. In the present, we are being transformed into the same image (the likeness of Christ), as we grow from glory to glory (2 Cor. 3:18). And, in the future, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is (1 John 3:2).
Being like Jesus is not about keeping the rules, going to church, and tithing. Its about knowing His forgiveness, and committing acts of grace and mercy on a consistent basis. Its about living a life that values all people. And its about having a heart of full surrender to the will of our Father.
Be like Jesus. You were saved for it!

Hi!
Evening, Kathy.
Evenin’ Kathy
Good evening, Perky.....Vista is giving me fits. I’ve had to restart several times and lose all my windows. GRRRR!
Have you had a nice weekend? Cooler temp? We saw a few isolated white flakes this morning, but they didn’t last more that a minute or so.
Another great American hero given the honor and reverence that he deserves. Thank God for such men and women who love their country so much!
Good evening, Mooch...how’s editing going? Some interesting reading? Did you have work piled up for you after your trip?
