"People only see what is visible, measurable. God sees into the heart. He not only forgives our failures, He sees successes where no one else does - not even ourselves. Only God can give us credit for the angry words we did not speak, the temptations we resisted, the patience and gentleness little noticed and long forgotten by those around us. Just being human gives us value in His eyes, and trying to live with integrity makes us successful before Him. God redeems us from the sense and fear of failure because He sees us as no human eyes can see us. Some religions teach that God sees so clearly that He knows all our shameful thoughts and nasty secrets. I prefer to believe that God sees us so clearly that He knows better than anyone else our wounds and sorrows, the scars on our hearts from having wanted to do more and do better, and being told by the world that we never would." ~Rabbi Harold Kushner

Sam's Truth

Hi. I'm Sam. This is my blog. This blog contains the truth...well my truth. It may not be your truth, but it's the truth as I see it, and as I remember it. I don't expect too many to read this blog, but take it for what it's worth. For me...it's a place to let my truth out...the truth that I can't always share. You may agree, you may disagree, you may be offended, disgusted, or even disappointed...but maybe you'll be delighted; maybe you'll find some of your own truth. So with that...welcome. I hope you find something ...whatever it may be.
