Two Scoops

I've noticed, after going over my posts, that I haven't posted any bible verse on my blog. It is a major fault in my blog (and my thought pattern), so I have decided to start posting verses that I hope will encourage and exhort you all. I'll start with these two verses. These verses are some of my favorite. If you have any doubt on who saved you (Was it you or was it Christ or was it you+Christ?) or doubt that God has a plan for your life, this first verse should clear it right up. The second verse is one that I find very helpful on days where world is wearing you down or if your being persecuted for you faith, etc . Enjoy!

Ephesians 2:8-10 ESV

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Colossians 1:11-12 ESV

May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.

Remembrance

In 1993 there was a movie produce that has been considered one of, in not, the best films in the world. Schindler's List tells the story of a polish business man who saves thousands of Jewish people by giving them work in his factory. I'm no sure of all the details, since I haven't actually seen Schindler's List. I have, however, heard the soundtrack to the movie and fell in love with the exquisite emotion poured into it's theme. I feel that the music is a good representation of the great sorrow of the lose of  two-thirds of a Jewish population of nine million during the Holocaust. The following is a commentary of and performance of the Schindler's List Theme by Itzhak Perlman(my favorite violinist).
