Then, in January, we calmed back down for Edward to have an internal bleed, putting him 'immediately' into the Critical Care portion of Methodist Hospital. Returning home, in 4 days, Edward had Covid and would Not eat. My neighbors sent around a text praying for healing. Within the hour, the fever healed, Thank God, Edward sat up and ate, and the next day was completely well, according to the Covid Test. (We also learned home tests for Covid expire within a year and give false negatives until the doctor's test says, Yes, you do have Covid.) </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">So that week, February, we were walking the dogs! And our little one was urging me to keep up, so, I ran, tripped over a huge Pine root, became airborne, briefly skied through the air about 15 feet and landed, behind the motorboat doggie, on a gigantic root. This airborne accident blew out a vein in my left hand and still have the healing Hematoma. Not a small thing.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Then I had an allergy to Construction drywall, February, March, went to the doctor several times, lost ALL hearing in one ear for over a week. Had an ear blockage, which the doctor removed. I have been on more Prednisone and antibiotics than I had stomach lining. To the acute hearing, I rattled from the meds I took for over 2 weeks with a change in meds during this time. And a double middle ear, adult, infection. I'm sure I felt so terrible due to the meds being so many, as well as just tired of being ill. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Saturday, we ate at the airport, which has a 6-story stairway.

font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;">14 And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to him and, kneeling before Him, 15 said, “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he has seizures and he suffers terribly. For often he falls into the fire, and often into the water. 16 And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not heal him.” </span></b></p><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;">17 And Jesus answered, </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;">“O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you? </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;">How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to Me.” </span></b></div><p><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;">18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was healed instantly. </span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;">19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” </span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;">20 He said to them, </span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;">“Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”</span></b></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Jesus handles this like always. Jesus Christ does all things well.</span></p><p><b style="font-family: georgia;"> </b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"> Luke 10:17-19</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"></span></b></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><b>The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons<br /></b><b> submit to us in Your name.” </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><b>18 So He told them, <br /></b><b>“I saw Satan fall like lightning from Heaven. <br /></b><b>19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread on snakes </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;">and scorpions, </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;">and over all the power of the enemy. </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;">Nothing will harm you.”</span></b></div><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">We know Jesus dealt with this enemy all the time, Scripture tells us Jesus had no difficulty with this at all. This is one of the few events we have some background facts. Because Jesus was giving us a new earth with His New Covenant. And a New Heaven. Satan was leaving Sheol and Heaven was Created because of Jesus' New Covenant, His Blood, His Sacrifice, His Life. Our eternal salvation.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I've seen two exorcisms recorded by Clergy. One was porn. Books flew across the room without any reason. Another was worse and was an aged, old man. His wife said he engaged in child harm and child porn. The man grew very ill after the exorcism, and his wife said he had been near death for years.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">What facts did the Scriptures withhold in Matthew 17? We do not know whether this was a toddler, a fifteen-year-old or a 20-year-old boy. And our next questions would likely be, what did he do, and how will we avoid this in our lives? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Jesus says blessed are the merciful, they will receive mercy. And Jesus blames the generation. Whoa, that's not pleasant. Jesus said the blind man was blind, not because of sin, but to allow the Glory of God to shine out. We know He was correct. Jesus, again in Matthew 17, said something similar to this:</span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;">Luke 13</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;">13 There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;">2 And He answered them, </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;">“Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? 3 No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? 5 No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Jesus refrains from Judgement of the afflicted. And tells us of the days of Jesus Christ living grace upon grace.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Jesus treats the failed attempts of the disciples to blend in with the generation. And the rest of their conversation is private and explained later to the Sheep of His Flock for millenniums. No lack of mercy is present. Mercy is abundant. Healing is abundant. No one cried about Jesus coming to visit with the father and boy! Hope in prayer soars abundantly. Fear is cast out. Perfect Love casts out fear. God Bless our Lord Jesus!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The Light shines and darkness did not come near to overcoming Jesus Christ, Only Son of God! </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">God takes what mankind finds of utmost unpleasantness and turns this to be Glory. We want more of Jesus. His Mercy. His Word. His Works. Yes, Holy Spirit, Yes. Help is asked for and more Help is given with abundance.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Kittens have many fosters and do better in a quieter home. So many adept Fosters. To adopt a cat, these volunteers will show up with 4 people and 40 kittens brought to Petsmart. This is Quite An Operation of Love! We adopted two purrfections and two is the perfect number. Or 3. Or a family of the furries.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've heard volunteers tell me, this Shelter has more volunteers than any other they know of. Before the Pandemic, there were Adoption events in different locations. From time to time, they announce they need Adoptions and they are FREE. What happens? A literal traffic jam. Once time they adopted out almost all the animals. Let's say that again, ALL. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When you go to adopt a dog and end up naming him Jackson. You will find volunteers are taking the dogs on walks, or playing or bathing, and they allow you to walk the dog you will love for the next decade. A great way to find your best dog! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We have 2 dogs and this is wonderful to see the animals play together.

Jesus asked.</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>When they all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you."</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>46 But Jesus said, "Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me."</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace."</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>49 While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. "Your daughter is dead," he said. "Don't bother the teacher any more."</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed."</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>51 When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James, and the child's father and mother. 52 Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning for her. "Stop wailing," Jesus said. "She is not dead but asleep."</b><br /><br /><b>53 They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he took her by the hand and said, "My child, get up!" 55 Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. </b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat.</b></div><div class="post-body entry-content" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Georgia, serif; text-size-adjust: auto;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="post-body entry-content" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Georgia, serif; text-size-adjust: auto;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="post-body entry-content" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Georgia, serif; text-size-adjust: auto;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="post-body entry-content" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Georgia, serif; text-size-adjust: auto;"><b>Jesus, the Only Son of God was having a Busy day.

He was out in the wheat fields on the Sabbath with His Group and, my God, He was eating wheat when He should have been in Temple. And it wasn't even His wheat. He is fascinating. The whole town of Capernaum shows up. And not just Capernaum, sometimes He travels and multitudes go with Him. That Jesus. He is a glutton. And a drinker. The Gospels talk about Vineyards 26 times.

No one would forget seeing the man going down the road, eyes covered with mud, finding the pool of Siloam.

Freehof</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"> “The Book of Ezekiel would have been hidden away” (nignaz Sefer Yehezkel). The rabbis were greatly troubled by the fact that the Book of Ezekiel gives certain laws, chiefly as to the Temple procedures, which actually contradict the laws given in the Book of Leviticus. They had a further objection: The opening chapters (chapters 1-3) of the Book of Ezekiel present a detailed picture of God coming in a chariot, surrounded by retinues of angels, etc. This picture, called “the arrangement of the chariot” (ma’aseh merkavah), became the starting point of special mystical studies. Though deemed important by the rabbis, such studies were considered dangerous for the uninitiated, and therefore the rabbis said that these chapters should not be studied, except by the learned few (Mishnah Hagigah2: 1). How, then, could they permit such a book to be part of the Bible, to be read by anyone?</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">These legal and mystical objections of the rabbis were ultimately not deemed sufficient grounds for excluding the Book of Ezekiel from the Bible. Evidently the rabbis held the Book of Ezekiel to be authentic. Hence, they felt, it was an inspired prophecy, properly belonging in the Bible, and its difficulties were difficulties which could be resolved.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Particularly in the <u>2nd</u> Century A.D., The Book of Ezekiel gathered more rancor.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Pontius Pilate wrote a letter, quickly, about Jesus and the marvel surrounding Good Friday to Emperor Tiberius 'Claudius' Nero.

She was born like this. And I took this to my grandmother and step-grandfather, Rev Tate Young. We began to pray for her at Sunday dinners. And suddenly, her foot was correct. Then in 2011, I was in Bible Study, in another city, decades later, and was asked, what was the first prayer God answered and you remember. You were the only person with this in your prayer life. I answered my friend's ankle and her name. And, behold! We had this friend in common, across the gigantic State of Texas, many years later! And she knew of our mutual friend's miracle from Jesus.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In Arkansas, we were vacationing with extended family, November 1993. I stayed behind to attend to our youngest son, and then had to change shoes to hike. I had to move quickly to catch up. And as I did, a couple, in their 50s, just wouldn't move to the side of the path. I had to say, excuse me, and then touch her arm to move past her. If I didn't, I could be lost on the hike. I noticed her arm was as hard as a rock and said, “Muscular arm.” Both cried out, “It's the scar from an enormous dog attack!!! And it's painful in this state!” I briefly turned around and said I am so sorry, I didn't mean to cause you pain. “Oh, it's not you, it's just terrible.” I said, Ok, I will pray for you, but I must hurry to catch up. It was automatic. And they said nothing. I was slightly embarrassed. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">As I caught up to Edward, I told him how that fell out of my mouth. The next morning, I was leaving the State Lodge after breakfast, again trying to catch up for cleaning up after my sons. And the husband, caught me in the exit hallway and really yelled at me. Loudly. He said, “What did you do to my Wife???” I was puzzled and asked for clarification. He yelled, “You said you prayed for her?” Now I looked at the exit, get away from nutty. He quit yelling, seeing my reaction, and asked again, “Did you pray for her?” Yes, I did. How? I answered, I asked the Lord as I hurried down the path. Did you say the Prayer? What? The one in the Bible? Hmm. “Oh, yes, the Lord's Prayer.” What else did you do? Om. I told my husband and we probably both prayed, but not anything very formal. The husband asked, “You just prayed and it was casual and she was completely healed from her upper arm to her elbow?” Yes. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Her husband replied, not looking at me. “We have to get back to Church.” To his back, going down the hallway, I said, “Sounds like the Lord would like that.” </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Lent is a good time to tell the people you love about Your Answered Prayers. And ask them to go to Church, Again!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhvdpd_hDyK5jkKqVkdfawb2GIXM3-J0oGOXGIAGSmVc41ldc-6x2gwFmTzv8vQJDfV479Rp4bQWmp0USGnH9GQdrbMOmlcCd7eJu6NRENKwyIzN1YZrQsKo0I_sMNSQFCX8phXe_vDbgQqEOoh795cxSG1GNCTYpSGwEn7h01uSAIFQ1zf2GcZ" style="margin-left: 1em;

Why did he? Baal, his own fortune. And then many possibilities: to have the comfort of protecting his parents. To have the comfort of their inheritance for not rocking the boat. To have the joy of revenge in his anger, the word, 'forgiven' was placed upon him and his 38-year wait beside still waters of ill health. His own anger, his fortune for revenge with God for his life, his life, his life, spent beside the pool, given the ease of Jesus healing him. To hope the authorities would use him as the poster child for the SS Brown Shirts Paul was serving in this time frame. To hope they would just give him a job. The comfort of getting along with siblings, family or a neighbor who urged him to turn Jesus in. The bottom line would be his own good fortune, what Baal worshipers hope for. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">The solid, rock truth is all of Salvation in Jesus Christ is placed upon one Word from our Savior, Jesus Christ's Advocation, “Forgiven.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHmFnLFGCGoeiEtnGdASIuWo-HWZxa677TN_oQVpXLm_ZSuM2Q8qDcN3S4owqmRxwbheVYSgzK-niYYex37uJBPDMzW125ki_5NOFnvk6MPfcw816gXFvVm1EUYA1PDFcZZ0oI587bCN9-KHvH-PKBg7T7CNO2PSWOd9Rlz1Jq5yGlDpb9WcsK/s213/Lamp%20Gif%20oil%20time%20of%20Jesus%20Lamp%20Gif%20Lamp.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="117" data-original-width="213" height="117" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHmFnLFGCGoeiEtnGdASIuWo-HWZxa677TN_oQVpXLm_ZSuM2Q8qDcN3S4owqmRxwbheVYSgzK-niYYex37uJBPDMzW125ki_5NOFnvk6MPfcw816gXFvVm1EUYA1PDFcZZ0oI587bCN9-KHvH-PKBg7T7CNO2PSWOd9Rlz1Jq5yGlDpb9WcsK/s1600/Lamp%20Gif%20oil%20time%20of%20Jesus%20Lamp%20Gif%20Lamp.gif" width="213" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">To be forgiven, we have to believe Jesus would be sincere to say, we need to be forgiven. To be forgiven, we have to accept the authority of God saying all men, all mankind, fall below the Glory of God in sin. To be forgiven, we have to be honest when we sin and turn to God for His Help to be in His Grace and repent, cease and continue in His Grace. And then we have to open the gift of forgiveness and life renewed in this Free Gift of Forgiveness. Declaring our Father's Good Will. To believe in the One He has Sent. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">The Miracle we are looking at today is skipped so often when looking at the Miracles of Jesus Christ, Only Son of God, Savior of mankind. The Miracle of Being Forgiven. If we listed this on the Miracles we have numbered so far, this would be, appropriately, Miracle 51!</span> <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+51&version=ESV"><span style="color: red; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><b> Psalm 51</b></span></a>. </p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">When someone accepts God's Blessing of Forgiveness, so many times the tide of water for regular life or trouble from the dark side rises to flood the Blessed. David was anointed, and this surely did not look like a blessing for many years. We have to hold on to our blessings and not become ungrateful or look past blessings. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFah_B_aguCFSYIQfwaERHwwt7TqyuYH6PiCiURoFLVUFNbytQ-qcLbE3uUj1dk8buW4TiffWB9EqBUwg3OZISW0JiYz_X7SaFb4KLkyIFMNkjZpPs2QPQBSNJYWjaCHgk802AejG9jI35WTZeuoHznBnCjHTo3cB4MrzgY4I5shqTxa4qhJ_y/s320/Start%20each%20day%20with%20a%20grateful%20heart%20sunrise%20sea%20of%20Galilee%20aaa.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="274" data-original-width="320" height="343" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFah_B_aguCFSYIQfwaERHwwt7TqyuYH6PiCiURoFLVUFNbytQ-qcLbE3uUj1dk8buW4TiffWB9EqBUwg3OZISW0JiYz_X7SaFb4KLkyIFMNkjZpPs2QPQBSNJYWjaCHgk802AejG9jI35WTZeuoHznBnCjHTo3cB4MrzgY4I5shqTxa4qhJ_y/w400-h343/Start%20each%20day%20with%20a%20grateful%20heart%20sunrise%20sea%20of%20Galilee%20aaa.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">These are the Gospel </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">of Jesus Christ</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">His Words about</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">being </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Forgiven:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;">Matthew 6:12</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;">and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;">Matthew 5:7</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;">Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">God loves us not to overthink goodness.

Rejoicing when one sees the Victories. When I talk to people in the area I live, which is dramatically growing, no one is pleased or excited to see the giant timber falling to square buildings. And the people I know who have built commercially say it almost took bribes to get a building permit, when no real beauty is being planned. I pray every time I go down the highways of 'progress' someone will wake up and city management and planning will see meaningful life is where the Real Value of Life IS for future generation and even safety. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Sacrifice, in the planning, is not a virtue … even in Lent. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Today we are in Victoria, Texas. Where I love to be as spring appears. Apparently, springtime loves to arrive in Victoria first. The Sky is a beautiful color, matched by the green, emerald green of the grass. Giant Pecan Trees line the impressive River.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">If the City Planners of Victoria, Texas could have a Biblical Verse, it would be Shepherds care for their Sheep. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Victoria has been here since the 1820s. Beauty was not swept up and killed by the 1960 uglies of Fox and Jacobs. Modern economy cropping out gracious comfort and joy. The downtown has planned to use what is older and to expand on new, using impressive architecture. The Churches are cared for. Well tended. Crowded on Friday Lent, probably for pot luck dinners. Sundays show full parking lots.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Even the old and sometimes abandoned industries look like they remember when The King Ranch was exporting most of the East Coast Cattle. There is History, here.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The historic district is vast and is not cropped to strident restrictions on older residents. No one is trying to be a carbon copy of the next. The exterior of the houses is cared for and thought about.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The newer houses have yards and side yards. The streets are content and peaceful. The giant trees are given great consideration and planned to stay and honor.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">And there is not a monopoly on the industry of improving and loving older homes. Smaller cottages are showing revivals of love and care. The older housing is improving as the newlyweds and retirees begin to show flourish.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Going back to Industry, not so many Big Box Stores. There is a plethora of local owners, trying hard and, creatively, to have restaurants, fantastic nurseries, clothing, hobbies and arts.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Dallas proper City limits, at the beginning of the 1970s, started as a population of 75,000 people and ended at the LBJ loop. Victoria is, now, 65,000 and is a joy to see and remember. A reminder of Galveston and the talents of seriously interested in their community to prosper minded people. The Victoria massive USA Flags are a real indication of the hope for Community and Pride in peaceful achievement. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The USA is interested, currently, in Big Box Stores and the opinions of the Big Cities. Wow, what a community. We still remember when Cities didn't just put up square buildings and instead invested in the meaningful lives of what we bring forth. Let's see this remembered nationwide instead of accepting the grind of graceless, identity less boxes as some sort of new, modern identity. The Churches of the United States in the 1990s began to see Major Shifts in Major Denominations. And now we see major shifts in the States to leave and try again. Could be … the major cities will see this shift eventually. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Hang on to your Shepherds, beautiful smaller cities and towns.

text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">And remember, Chapter 8 of Matthew had the Holy Spirit deliberately combining Chapter 9 with Matthew's ongoing work. </span><span style="font-family: georgia;

text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Jesus began His Ministry with Joy. And being God, Jesus is not keeping the joy, He is bringing Joy to those around Him. New Lives. New Hope. </span><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">The kill joys of doubt regard this miracle as a maybe. But this completely misses the fear in the ancient world of having life erode rapidly in a very horrifying and horrid manner. Peter was asked about Matthew 8 and John 5. What is this Jesus was healing? Tell us! To heal leprosy was to heal missing noses, ears, lips, parts of the face. Fingers. Toes. A smell guaranteed to clear the space quickly. Horrendous.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">When we say Jesus heals, we aren't talking about a bit dead. Or a broken arm. We are saying missing, rotted off, impossible portions of what we hope to see until we are in Heaven has rotted horribly. When the paralyzed man is put through an opening in a roof, he wasn't having a sprained back. Jesus healed the lame from muscles missing for 38 years. The blind didn't have the brain to eye capacity, and the miracle explains what we know to be a brain healing to correctly function information sorting. A MIRACLE!<br /></span><div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></p><h1 style="background-color: beige;
