About This Blog

In Matthew 11:28, Jesus said, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Well, I labor. I'm weary. I'm heavy laden. I would like some rest. In fact, I need it. Who better to get it from than Christ himself? I don't believe the answer to getting rest lies in sleeping more or taking more naps or eating more fruits and vegetables -- while those things can surely help -- I tend to believe that true rest and definitely spiritual rest comes from God above through Jesus Christ.

If you found this blog, and you weren't invited, congratulations. That was hard to do. This site shouldn't be in the listings for blogger and shouldn't be linked anywhere either. If things work like I think they do, you should only be here if you typed in the address. There are no free private blogs available that I know of, so this is my attempt at a free semi-private blog. I'll post from time to time about things I read in the Bible or things concerning Christianity today or things in my life as a Christian. And perhaps I'll get some friends to do the same. Anything goes as long as God alone gets the glory.

I chose the picture you see in this post because it is a picture of the way I knew Jesus as a boy - a painting on a wall. I don't want my life to be like that. I want to know Jesus for who he really is, how he's revealed in the holy scriptures and how he reveals himself to me.
