Day two

Jesus is moved as looks upon the “City of God,” the “City of David,” Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. It is this day that Jesus cursed the barren fig tree! Now in Jerusalem, Jesus comes to the Temple, the sight of the “money changers” stirs righteous indignation and turns over all the merchants booths!

Palm Sunday

Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King

St. John 12;12 The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 13. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna! ” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”“Blessed is the king of Israel!”

Most high and prayer hearing God

As we walk in Your garden as did Adam and Eve we talk with Thee our God and Creator.

Let us be ever mindful of the Love and Suffering of Your Son and the Savior of all people of Creation.

“For God so loved . . .”

Luke 2:6-7

When Mary and Joseph began their journey southward to Bethlehem, they probably thought they had time to make the trip, register for the census, and then return home to Nazareth before the baby would be born. The weather cooperated and a donkey carried their provisions, but the journey proved more lengthy than either of them had expected. Mary was soon to give birth.

By the time they reached Bethlehem, Mary was exhausted. To make matters worse, the tiny town was packed with travel-weary people.

Sad News

When will it stop? Eight (8) dead in NY by a "terrorist" deliberately running down bicyclists, a dozen or more injured.

I often turn to Matthew 5:1-12 Verse 7 a blessing for those who help others.

Praying for those injured and mourning with those who are mourning.

(and knowing how hollow my words are) Yet sincere

PSALM 23:4 (NIV)

4.  Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Jesus Is the Revealer of the Invisible God

It was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him.

—Colossians 1:19

Most historians acknowledge that there was a man named Jesus who walked on the earth 2,000 years ago. And even agnostics concede that nobody has influenced the world for good more than Jesus. Hospitals, orphanages, universities, and many scientific advances—all of these things came about through Christians because of their faith in Christ. And yet, as wonderful as those accomplishments were, that’s not what makes Jesus the most holy person who ever lived.

What an intense week !

Have you ever read or walked the Stations of the Cross? Although mostly observed by Catholic and Orthodox believer's yet it can be a very moving experience for Protestant's like myself during this week of Passover and Passion of Christ culminating with the Resurrection Sunday observance

Our Christian Salvation is like no other Faith.

The Disciples could not be dissuaded, just try to imagine the words of Jesus echoing in your head as you looked into the empty tomb. Is there anything in your life that no matter what, what family, friends or any one, you will never change.

February is often known as the Love month, Valentines Day. Marketers have used February for everything from selling candy, flowers, vacations. One web site has declared February The Month of Love and Kindness even appointing the week of 12 to 18th. the week of "Random Act's of Kindness Week" and my sisters birthday. Who didn't already know that? Well I don't expect you knew that the oldest of my 5 younger sisters was born on Feb. 14th. Happy Valentines Day!
