What if……
I just watched a film that begs just that question, What if? I’m a big fan of A Christmas Carol, and the films that in some way offer the same message, like; It’s a Wonderful Life, The Family Man, and now this film. All these films save for a Christmas Carol, asks the question what difference would there be in the world if you had not been in it?! The film I saw today is a Christian film starring Kevin Sorbo, (Hercules), John Ratzenburger (Cheers), and actress Kristy Swanson. In one very impactful scene Kevin is asked to come to the hospital to help a old man that is dying. The old man doesn’t want to be helped, he feels he has done too many bad things in life to deserve forgiveness, but Kevin pushes on and shares the story of Judas and how Jesus wanted to forgive him, even after he had sold him out to the Romans for thirty pieces of silver, such was the depth of His love and His forgiveness. The old man realizes he wants forgiveness, and Kevin, leads him to salvation, but in the process realizes he is praying the same for himself, a revelation has taken place in his heart and life!
We all need that revelation, the revelation of the fact that God loves us, that we matter to Him, and that He really is standing waiting for us to come to Him.
I’ve had a great day, knowing how much He has given me, including a second chance, for letting me make things right, undeserved as I am, I want to be His and His alone.

Thank you for sharing this! This is exactly what I needed to hear and to share. God bless you! =)
God certainly knows what we need.
Such a plain truth that we need to realize each day. Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23
Thanks Bill!
I’m always amazed at what the Holy Spirit teaches us!
Bill, at the recent F3C conference iin Naples, Florida you expressed the opinion that if you had just two cameras, you would pick the D7000 and the D4. Now I see that you have answered the same question by selecting he D7000 and the D800. Does thiis indicate that, after testing, you are more impressed with the D800 than you had previously assumed?
Secondly, have further considered the D800E?
Thanks
