Snippets from the wish: "... represents the best that I have learned in this life, and thus, the best wishes and the best advice I have to offer...

And everyone chooses, whether deliberately or by neglect... so choose wisely!... one day evey kneww will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord, no choice; but right now, we have the choice to believe that He is exactly who He says He is and receive the gift of grace that He has given us all.

Choose Jesus!"
