_What Grace is This?!—A Gospel Confession and Proclamation

What grace is this, given to me one so drowned in deep unholiness. Marred with deep sinfulness. God went so deep to save such wretchedness? What grace is this? To one such as I, spat on the Father trampled upon the Son, almost blaspheming the Spirit, the Triune God the infinitely Holy One? What grace is this? In all my life I have done nothing but this, I lived for myself, loved nothing but my life Feeding my ego caring nothing about Jesus Christ! What grace is this?

_Ordinary Day; Undeserved Fellowship

1:00am New work day started. Worked on the business site of my boss again. Made some graphics for our clients.

1:30am Started work today.

Was glad that we were able to arrange an evangelism outreach today even in short notice. 11:30am Woke up, ...
