Isaiah 53: 5 - 6

But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed.  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned - every one - to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

{Mom & Dad - Remember when I memorized v.6a in kindergarten?  I can still picture the illustration from that page in my memory verse book. :)  Thank you for training me up in the way I should go (even when it included last minute Bible memory before I needed to recite at school! ;o) ).  Your love, direction, and prayers have been means of grace in my life.}
