Whats with the title?

OK! I found my way back to the blog site so here we go...

Some would ask why the title "Murderers and Thieves". It goes like this, many times in life we compare our mistakes to others and think well I'm not as bad as them... If the truth be told the Bible clearly states that any sin separates us from the grace of God. That means that the sin we keep hidden in our hearts, is just as bad as the sin others leave out in the open for the world to see.

On Sunday morning Pastor Bob talked a little about the two thieves who were crucified with Jesus on the cross. One of them hurled insults at Jesus and the other rebuked him saying that he was the son of God and he was Innocent of all charges. This speaks volumes to me. It makes me realize that in Jesus' crucifixion he shed his blood to forgive all sin, whether it be your small white lies, or a murderers rampage. He died for all of us, everyone of the murderers and thieves.

All in a days work.

This is my first post! As many things run through my head, I can't decide what to start with. My reluctance to get started is only fueled by the fact that I have no idea what I am doing. This blogging idea seems to be a great way to communicate, not necessarily with others but it beats talking to myself.

This will be my test post. If it works, I will continue. If it doesn't, I will spend the next month trying to figure out how to get back to my blog.
