Today I may have become the first person to ever use the words ''eloquent'' and ''tweeter'' in the same sentence...

Mercy

Nathan Crockett challenged us to write down events in our lives and finish each sentence with the phrase “God’s mercy endures forever.” Psalm 136 has 26 verses, and each of them ends with that phrase. Here is a short version of my list:

On September 13, 1990 Laurie Baral gave birth to her first child, a boy. She and her husband, Dan Baral, named me David Louis Baral. God’s mercy endures forever.

On February 10, 1996 I ducked my head underneath a desk in Room 3 at Eagle Heights Baptist Church and ask Jesus Christ to be my personal Lord and Savior. God’s mercy endures forever.

In the fall of 1996 my family decided to homeschool me. God’s mercy endures forever.

I have two beautiful sisters and a healthy brother. God’s mercy endures forever.

In July of 2005 the doctor walked into the hospital room and told my parents and I that I have Ulcerative Colitis, and that there is no cause, and no cure. God’s mercy endures forever.
