  My favorite poem that describes what it means to be a Christian:

WHEN I SAY, "I AM A CHRISTIAN"

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I’m not shouting, “I’ve been saved!”
I’m whispering, “I get lost!  That’s why I chose this way”

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I don’t speak with human pride
I'm confessing that I stumble—needing God to be my guide

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I’m not trying to be strong
I’m professing that I’m weak and pray for strength to carry on

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I’m not bragging of success
I’m admitting that I’ve failed and cannot ever pay the debt

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I don't think I know it all
I submit to my confusion asking humbly to be taught

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I'm not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are far too visible but God believes I’m worth it

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartache which is why I seek His name

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I do not wish to judge
I have no authority—I only know I’m loved

  Sister ShelleyA  

High above the cloud s - like a bird she soars
To astounding heig h ts wi t h whom she adores.
Limitless wo n ders - incr e dible sights
M iraculou s ways and unto l d delights.

S h i n i ng intensely of the Father's love
 D e a r Sister Shelley writes boldly ther e of .
Se e k ing out His love, acceptance and g race 
And as a reward - her, Christ does e mbrace .

Gentle, h er spirit; beautif u l , her soul;
She gave sel f away - Chri st is in control.
Shelley, my sis ter, I w ant you to know;
You show His goodnes s - of Christ you're aglow.
