These words penetrated my soul like I didn't expect. More than anything, I want to be relevant to my culutre AND fully embrace my mission on earth, to see people know and experience amazing grace. My goal, my life's song is to live distinctly, in proximity. Good to hear from you Alex... Skip I was at a church this past weekend where they spoke the words…”live distinctly, in proximity, make an impact”.

These words penetrated my soul like I didn’t expect. More than anything, I want to be relevant to my culutre AND fully embrace my mission on earth, to see people know and experience amazing grace.

My goal, my life’s song is to live distinctly, in proximity.

Good to hear from you Alex…

The verse says that God is Spirit, and that those who worship Him *MUST* worship him in spirit and truth. That's a strong command ... and one that makes me search and seek what that is. If there is "true worship", there must be "false worship". My vision is to help people worship God in spirit and truth ... and that could have a kazillion different looks! Fred Alex,
My vision is based on John 4:23-24 … about worship in “spirit and truth”. The verse says that God is Spirit, and that those who worship Him *MUST* worship him in spirit and truth.

That’s a strong command … and one that makes me search and seek what that is. If there is “true worship”, there must be “false worship”.

My vision is to help people worship God in spirit and truth … and that could have a kazillion different looks!

I want to love God with all my heart 2. I want to love my neighbor as much as I love myself. 3. In life, everyone makes mistakes. So life is not about the mistakes you make, it's about what you do with those mistakes. While not a exactly a vision or mission, these are things I think about often in pursuing life….

1. I want to love God with all my heart

2. I want to love my neighbor as much as I love myself.

3. In life, everyone makes mistakes. So life is not about the mistakes you make, it’s about what you do with those mistakes.

And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." i am trying to establish habits and life changes so that everything i do in some way matches up to what Jesus asked us to do before He went away. i never responded to the last one of these. i am in Lynchburg, VA which is 3 1/2 hours south of Washington D.C. i am alex’s little bro.
