Relationships and Termination

“The hardest part is not in saying goodbye, it is in making the decision to say goodbye ” Karen Maloy

Freedom to Choose

“While God has allowed us the freedom to choose to sin, we do not have the freedom to choose our consequences.  Likewise, we also do not have the liberty to choose which laws we want to obey either.  In God’s eyes there are no degrees of sin because to him all sin is wrong but we are not left without hope.   Grace is for those who admit that they need God’s help; mercy is for those who repent and want God’s help; and anyone else, be aware for you are in danger of a hardened heart.  Don’t worry though, even those who have a hardened heart will get God’s help too,” Karen Maloy
