This is an excerpt from the ExCons For Christ newsletter from a friend of Tom(My brother) that lives in Ft. Worth. Awesome poem. Sermons We See By Edgar A. Guest I'd rather see a sermon than hear on any day,
I'd rather one should walk with me than merely show the way,
The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear;
Fine counsel is confusing, but example's always clear;
And the best of all preachers are the men who live their creeds,
For to see the good in action is what everybody needs.
I can soon learn how to do it if you'll let me see it done.
I can watch your hands in action but your tongue too fast may run.
And the lectures that you deliver might be very wise and true;
I'd rather get my lesson by observing what you do.
For I may misunderstand you and the high advice you give.
But there's no misunderstanding how you act and how you live. People are watching us all the time but they are not necessarily listening to us. We are His hands, His mouth and His feet on this earth. Bro Jeff a.k.a. [shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300] †_FC_†™[/glow][/shadow]

Yes indeed Jeff, they are watching and some that know your a christian wait to see if you are going to mess up forgetting we are still human. I like that poem, it sounds like something I would like. Yea, people are tired of listening, all they hear is blah, blah, blah, so then they must see and we must show. brothers in Christ -=Bill=-
