Give us this day

Give us this Day.

Today. Living Bread of Jesus Christ.

Today we will remember our blessings.
To praise God in peace and worship in freedom. To be genuine.
We will be genuine and remember our hard days.
We will remember the days of the Kennedys being killed.
We will remember the days that Martin Luther King was killed.
We will remember Kent State.


We will remember the true events behind the Movie, "Woodlawn."


I hear people say fearfully we are headed to Martial Law. And I say, with sadness, the shooters in Dallas and in Baton Rouge - we see military with PTSD. The Military is not hopeful for Martial Law.


In my lifetime, I have seen this Nation rise up and Overcome. One Nation Under God.

We will remember the true events behind the Movie, "Woodlawn."

Woodlawn Rotten Tomatoes,  a Good and Positive Tomato.

One message of hope, love, faith in Jesus Christ from Billy Graham. Rev. Graham was talking in the Dallas Cotton Bowl about the Light of one candle in the darkened football stadium - sparked - the end of bombs - fifty bombs in Birmingham, Alabama - and at that time the city was known as "Bombingham".

One man heard the Light of Jesus was 2 millenniums ago and ... Visible Today In Your Life TODAY. Give us This DAY. His faith carried him and he traveled that day to Birmingham, and found a racially torn day in 1973 - a group of High School Football players believed Jesus Christ makes a difference, provides a way forward. Change overcame Alabama.

The Light overcomes the Dark. Yesterday and Today.

This is the story of Jesus Christ. Today. Tony Curtis Nathan is an African American football coach and former pro football Running Back. This is his story of his High School days at Woodlawn High School. Nathan was a running back from the University of Alabama who was selected in the third round (61st overall) of the 1979 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins, where he played from 1979-1987.

Love God with All Your Heart.

Matthew 7:12
In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the prophets.

Galatians 6:2
Carry one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the Law of Christ.

James 2:12-13
12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. 13 For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

St. Augustine was greatly converted. And says:
Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by the accidents of time, place, circumstances, are brought into closer connection with you.


I have seen races sit together to do Christian work. Eventually, comments are made saying "I was raised this way." And in these comments - someone is going have to give some to have peace. These people continue to be kind to one another and help one another. Phone calls and prayers requested. Time spent together. Healing occurs. Care continues. Advice given and shared.


Thank You God for the witness provided to me by people like David - ruddy.

1 Samuel 16 -   Judgement by appearance
But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance"

Thank You God for the witness provided to me by people like Mose's wife Zipporah.

Numbers 12:1
Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman he had married, for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.





2. A believing man - who went forth to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to others.
