Titus 3:3-7

At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

This poem is pulled from the archive...April 1, 2008 to be exact. It's describing the transformation we go through: being slaves to sin to being saved by grace and becoming slaves to righteousness. I've spent several hours this last week compiling the "Best of Hardboiled Integrity 2008" in a .pdf format and hoping eventually to print and bind it in color... but all I can get right now is $35/copy at Staples or $40 at Kinkos. So we'll be putting that on hold. Black and white would be much less expensive, but the photos I've included are too great in color. It looks pretty in .pdf,, but Google won't yet allow publishing of .pdfs. So here's a link to the .doc.

Hey Alyssa,
Did you write all those things in the PDF you want to get published? I'll pay for you to have a copy made.
Love,
Mom
