Apologies and Scripture

So I wanted to apologize for not writing in the blog more often. The weird thing is that in the past few months I've written a good number of blogs but I never post them up for one reason or another. Anyway, I wanted to offer my apologies to everyone and guarantee a few blog entries when I get home. 
I'm leaving for Cornerstone tomorrow night and I am super excited. The community is going along with a few really cool high school kids. It's gonna be a great time and I pray that the LORD uses this week to draw us into a deeper connection with Him.

This is the Word of the LORD:

"Say to them, As I live, says the LORD G-D, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from their ways and live; turn back, turn back from you evil ways ; for why will you die, O house of Israel? And you, mortal, say to your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not save them when they transgress; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, it shall not make them stumble when they turn from their wickedness; and the righteous shall not be able to live by their righteousness when they sin. Though I say to the righteous that they shall surely live, yet if they trust in their righteousness and commit iniquity, none of their righteous deeds shall be remembered; but in the iniquity that they have committed they shall die. Again, though I say to the wicked ' You shall surely die,' yet if they turn from their sin and do what is lawful and right-- if the wicked restore the pledge, give back what they have taken by robbery, and walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity-- they shall surely live, they shall not die. None of the sins that they have committed shall be remembered against them; they have done what is lawful and right, they shall surely live."
Ezekiel 33:11-16

Thanks be to G-D!!
