I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner, condemned, unclean.
 
The grass , the blue sky , the sun on my face , the two cats I have , my mother , the flowers , the trees , the stars in the sky at night and the list goes on.

What we do know is that existence is the basis of all we hold most precious. That is why it is eminently reasonable to believe in creative Love as the source of life, truth, goodness, freedom, justice and beauty…
