The myth of a “personal” savior
Read the entire post here -- http://modernreject.com/2013/02/the-myth-of-a-personal-savior/
I really liked this quote from the post:
Jesus said we are His body–not just an arm or a leg, a hand or an eye. We are all members meant to be living in love and unity to express Him more fully.
My Christ is your Christ. My suffering is your suffering. My joy is your joy. My revelation your revelation. My life your life. In Christ. And in Him alone.
From the comments section of the post:

Great post, Nicole. It may be true that “all I need is Jesus,” but that includes the Christ in my brothers and sisters as well as the Christ in me.

You’re not guilty anymore
Joyfully Growing In Grace (on Facebook)
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, 4 in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.
- From Romans 8
But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God. 13 Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool, 14 because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy
15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:
16 “This is the covenant I will make with them
after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds.”
17 Then he adds:
“Their sins and lawless acts
I will remember no more.”
18 And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin.
19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
- From Hebrews 10

7. Homeschool families think 'Outside the Box' to keep kids thriving
this sounds very similar to Mug Up
“But she also started her own group, the Outside the Box homeschool group, which meets every Tuesday from 12:30 to 2:30 at the Old Town Hall in Somerset (next door to the library). The group of about 10 kids, with a mix of ages from kindergarten through high school, meet each week to play games, do crafts, and make friends. Callina has created a website, a Facebook page and a blog, and she describes it as “indoor recess” for homeschoolers.”

Anchor Me
All my soul is troubled
All my will is worn
Tired and discouraged
Trampled on and torn
Every breath a battle
Every step a war
My heart-broken vessel
This night an angry storm
When sadness crashes like an ocean
When fear is deeper than the sea
When I am swallowed by the darkness
Will you come and anchor me?
I cannot see through this
Can you be my eyes?
I'm completely hopeless
Can you shine a light?
I have no more strength left
Can you stand and fight?
I'm dying in this doubt
Can you be my faith tonight?
When sadness crashes like an ocean
When fear is deeper than the sea
When I am swallowed by the darkness
Will you come and anchor me?
Hold me still and hold me close
Until it all passes away
I beg you not to let go
All I really have to knowIs that you are here
And I am not alone
When sadness crashes like an ocean
When fear is deeper than the sea
When I am swallowed by the darkness
Will you come and anchor me?
(When sadness crashes like an ocean)
When fear is deeper than the sea (Deeper than the sea)
When I am swallowed by the darkness
Will you come and anchor me?
