Stand Amazed (How Marvelous)

I adore this hymn. It is anointed. Charles H Gabriel penned this hymn long ago and today it is as meaningful as it was then.
I sing, "I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazarene..." yet really I don't think I will be able to stand. In reality I think I will fall to my knees in awe, in worship, in humility at being before my King. What Jesus did for me and for you is hard for us to comprehend. Do you realize that if he had not paid for our sins that we would be required someday to pay for them ourselves? That is too big of a debt, perhaps even overshadowing the national debt (haha). We never, and I really mean never, could have paid off the debt of our sin. Because of Jesus we don't have to. How marvelous, how wonderful indeed!
Because of paying for my sins I have a song of praise and gratitude in my heart for God. And I will sing it all my days. How marvelous, how wonderful is my Savior's love for me.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
