The Holy Spirit brought this to mind...

Some twenty-three years ago I was a student at Lee College (now University www.leeuniversity.edu) and was a member of the Lee College Campus Choir. We sang some wonderful stuff, under the direction of Dr David Horton--who was promoted to glory back in May of this year. One of the songs the Spirit just brought to mind says this:

We stand here together,
As God's family, we've joined hands together
Lifting praises to the Father above
For sending His Son.

We've chosen together
As His family, we'll serve Him forever
Knowing nothing else will matter in time,
We've made up our mind.

Through the heat of the day
We will join in the fight
Until He takes us away
Until our faith becomes sight
As for me and my house,
We will serve the Lord.

Choose you this day,
Tell me who will you serve
Let nothing stand in your way
Give the praise He deserves
As for me and my house
We will serve the Lord!

In a day plagued with scandal, public disgraces, private agonies, and widespread heartache, let us remember our commitment to "serve the Lord." Let us remember our pledge to love Him with everything we have, regardless of what it may cost us.

But let us also know that He is ready, willing, and faithful to forgive, restore, and heal our broken lives--for His glory and for our eternal good.

He's just that kind of God.
