 | Who am I anyway?Posted Mar-10-08 11:27:17 PDT Most of you who read the blog or have checked out our site knows me as the female fourth of HB Variety. I work with my brothers and dad, and I am the sole person who writes the blog.
Two years ago I was falsely arrested. It was the worst, most humiliating moment of my life. I was handcuffed, had finger prints made, and I had a mug shot taken. I sat waiting to see the DA with my hands cuffed behind me sitting between two rough men who probably were not innocent. I had to walk down a hallway with cells on either side. The men in the cells were like caged animals, yelling at me, pawing at the glass, and the guard had to tell one to put his pants back on. I was in a holding cell for six hours. During that time, prostitutes and drug dealers were filtering in and out. It was maddening to know that these people commit crimes so often that they knew exactly what to do to get out in a timely fashion. Eventually, I was released, but I still had to go to court and get the charges dropped. Someone really close to my heart was also falsely arrested. He was totally innocent. But He wasn't just handcuffed. He was beaten within an inch of His life, mocked, spit on, and ultimately was killed. Jesus was perfect, but He sacrificed His life to save mine and to save yours. If the true guilty party in my case asked me to take the punishment for him, I would have said no. Why would I taint my perfect record for someone who stabbed me in the back? That is exactly what Jesus did for us. He loved us when we were His enemies. He didn't just die so that we could go to heaven. He died so that He could have a personal relationship with us. He died so that we could live a life that has purpose and meaning, a life that He wants to be involved in. If you would like to know God, go to www.harvest.org.
