/ would sleep, dear friends, where bloated might Can rob no man of his dearest right; My rest shall be calm in any grave
Where none can call his brother a slave. I ask no monument, proud and high, To arrest the gaze of the passer-by; All that my yearning jspirit craves Is bury me not in a land of slaves.
Paul Laurence Dunbar

JESUSisa SWEET SAVIOUR. It is Jesus total gift of Himself to God which is a delight, a pleasure to God. It is the distinctive aroma of the sacrificial love which God Himself had for us in giving us His Son. JESUS says . . . You are the salt in the stew of the earth s peoples. You are the flavoring which is essential, which makes life bearable, even enjoyable. When others recognize in you the sweetness ofMy Presence, they will respond. They will taste and see that I
am good ...
