A Christ Follower: The Journey

The Body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts.  1 Corinthians. 12a When I see what I  have seen,  When I remember where I have been, it makes me see that I am indeed a very bless-ed man,  even when I don't like what sometimes happens... or  seems to be "The Plan."  Each one of us is an important part of the whole.  But without our part, the foundation of "the greater" risks being an event that crumbles, at least when each one does NOT carry their load.

Today, however, we look at another 3:16 of John.  It is one where we are not only blessed, but we are given instruction to be a blessing... So...
