Truth not Tolerance

About Me

My Name is Sam Newman. I am currently located on a verrrry tiny speck on the far end of a not-much-bigger clover. I want to travel........EVERYWHERE and photograph it. I have my own business as a photographer. You can check it out here


I am a mentor/technical support staff member of an organization called Youth Without Walls *website pending* and am directly affiliated with I.H.O.P Gadsden. God is doing amazing things in me and in this city and it both completely excites and greatly humbles me to be apart of what His devine work in this region.
*(initiate sermon mode)*
I've been delivered from my past and set free from its condemnation so you won't find me rehashing any skeletons here. I'm bought with a price and have been made the righteousness of God and free to dance for, sing to, and to worship Him. I am His and He is mine! AMEN
*(sermon complete)* **^reinitialize self-description^**
So i'm like a computer geek, a book-worm, a pencil-pusher(accounting), an MP3 junkie, an Alabama Crimson Tide FANATIC and I can kick your butt on Guitar Hero III.....right after I beat you at chess and scrabble. Soooooo....later.

~A Psalm~
I will give thanks to the Lord for He is ever faithful to me. He strengthens me when I am weak and is my constant abiding comfort.
All I am, I am because He chose me. He has called me and anointed me to walk in His glory and in His light. I am the apple of His eye and His favorite keepsake. He is my treasure and I, His.
He gives me boldness to speak before throngs of men and proclaim His word.
His mercy, love, and grace are renewed to me at the rising of the sun and shields me at its setting. He is the protection that goes before me and causes my path to be straight.
His truth is pure and holy; a light to my eyes and a sword in my hand. His truth endures always and breaks the chains of bondage. His truth surrounds me on all sides and causes the arrows of the enemy to fall short of their mark. His joy greets me when I wake and His peace causes me to sleep soundly.
Mighty is His power; there is none to be found outside of Him. Through Him I have purpose; without Him my life is meaningless. By Him I have wisdom for He is all-knowing. With Him my battles are won for He was victorious at Calvary.
He has caused my past transgressions to lose their hold on me. He severs the link between me and my previous sins and holds them not against me.
He forgives - ALL He remembers - NOTHING
He purges my flaws like darkness is purged by the light. He is the almighty healer. Though He bears long with me I will not lose hope for He is the God that heals my infirmities.
He will not withhold His justice long. He causes the enemy to return that which he has taken for His justice is righteous and pure.
He loves me despite myself. He knows me better than myself. He has my best interests at heart. I am his and He is mine.
Time cannot contain Him.
Death couldn't hold Him.
Darkness is driven from Him.
He is my light, He is my love, He is my life and I will never cease to praise Him for a rock will never cry in my place.
He will never leave me and He will always love me. And I will lift my head and say that
HE IS GOOD
until my last breath escapes me.
