"When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'." I'm whispering "I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven." When I say... "I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ 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 need His strength to carry on. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed And need God to clean my mess. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible But, God believes I am worth it. When I say... "I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches So I call upon His name. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow
Hey Dave its Cait. How have you been? Hey I have a question for you? I was layin out in the sun and when I went inside I noticed that my back hurt. I looked at my tat and part of it is raised. I was wondering if you could possibly tell me why it might do that and if Im having a reaction to the ink now and if that can happen after Ive had it for a while? Hope all is well
Hey there Dave! How's it going?? I hope you are doing well! :) I would really like to get a start on at least a sketch for a tattoo that I've wanted for years! You're the only person I could think of that would be able to nail it to exactly what I'd like! How do I need to get this process started???
I had a dream a couple of nights ago that you decided you needed to "change your image", so you basically morphed into the sensei from the karate kid movies.. you thought life would be better that way.. weird and random.. i know.
Hey Dave soo happy for the friend request Im dying to get more tats but i lost connection with my old Tattoo artist. I love your work! I need more information though.. soo hit me up..and Rock on you man of God..soo admirable!
