Psalm 127:1a

Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.

A Humble Prayer

The passage above is my "life verse" as a Christian. As a sinner saved only by grace, I realize that everything I try to do apart from God is meaningless, a mere wasted effort. But, on the other hand, I've also learned that when I do things with and for God, I encounter His eternal power and presence in amazing ways! I pray that you and I both find ourselves serving God faithfully and experiencing closer and closer fellowship with Him! In Christ's Love, Steve
