I Believe...


...That life matters.
We are not little blobs of energy bumping blindly around in a plasma screen, nor yet are we cogs on a giant machine, following our fate in a grinding, grueling march to the grave, but we are alive. We are humans, created and capable of creation, destined and able to determine our own destiny, fallen, yet able to grasp the hand of our maker and stand again.

...That God matters.
We do not understand this love we find within us, until we have come home to our Father, and felt his love; we don't know mercy, until we see his supreme gift on the cross; we cannot see, until He has opened our eyes.

...That death matters.
We were not meant to die, to age, to falter; but we do. And so we find the door to eternity. What lies beyond is determined by the choices we made in life, by the hand we hold.

So life matters.
