"I hate, I despise, I loathe masked piety. I detest the jerk in the mirror every morning. The venemous viper of pride seems to always lurk in God's garden of my soul. Why can't other people see?! Are they blind?! Why don't they think?! Am I the only one who knows what's going on here?!?! He resists the Jim, oops, I mean the proud; He gives grace to the humble. I can't be counted among that number - the humble!Who will deliver me from this body of death?Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! He has done it all! He found me in my sin. He is my substitute. He has given me of His Spirit. He bought me with a price. I am His and He is mine. His mercy is new every morning. I cannot cause the reservoir of "grace upon grace" to ever be emptied of the smallest drop. I have died with Jesus. I have risen with Jesus. Herein lies my humility. "

Hi! My name is Happiness Lodge from the island of Chuuk. I am a teacher at Berea Christian High School, the sister school of your Mizpah.
I had just recently graduated from PIBC on Guam, where Dr. Dave Owen is the president. My Father graduated from Columbia International University. Small world huh?
How great to meet Happiness. I continue praying for Chuuk and LMC daily and am pleased to know she is teaching in Christian HS there. - mom
