An exclamation point......

.....That is the way we should end our lives. We should live our lives in such a way as to leave no to Whom we belong. We need to be constantly striving to grow in our faith.

Today we said goodbye to a man at our church who lived life in such a way. James Kinard was one of the best men I've ever known`. Watchingv his lfe inspired me and many others to live a life for Jesus with passxion. God delivered James both s[piritually and physically many times. God protected him in Vietnam. He cxould have died there but God was merciful. God allowed him to live and raise a family. All his life, James dealt with great fear over many things. God helped and delivered him in many ways. Pastor made a point at the funeral this morning that in the year plus since James was diagnosed with cancer, James showed no fear but was at peace. He was not afraid to die because he knew his destination. He grew in the Lord, living his life in such a way as to end it with an exclamation point. "I AM A CHRISTIAN!"

How will your life be punctuated?
