Psalm 91:5,6 ~ you will not fear




Psalm 91:5,6


5 You will not fear the terror of the night, or the arrow that flies by day, 6 the plague that stalks in darkness, or the calamity that destroys at noon.


Mothers serve. They do and in serving to raise their children, they give life. Life skills and Life stories to give wisdom to have Life. Life is given freely from Father God.

As we live long enough, we learn the valor of leaving this life and going to the next. This is the Most Important Lesson of All, Life.


When I married, my cousin Maxine was 70 years old. I had always really enjoyed Maxine. On my bedroom wall is Psalm 128 -  a framed blessing Maxine gave us to be blessed to see our grandchildren and love and Live. Quite a gift from Maxine who could not have children. She had misty eyes as she gave the Blessing.

This is a profoundly personal outlook on life today on this Post. The Nation has seen Alzheimer's deaths climb to double in a decade. And we wonder why. I've had 4 brave deaths in my life from unrelated brain injury and illness.

One is substance abuse, alcohol, from being the martini generation in a martini family. Brains die when pickled in alcohol and begin to make spaghetti reasoning instead of life giving solutions. 1 of 3 people are shown to be heavy drinkers.  For my father - it is crucial to face the pain life holds. Goodness comes from working to the solutions. Substance be it drinking, pills, drugs does not make for happiness in self or generations. The need is for discussion with the generations not to repeat behaviors.  God gives us work to believe life holds meaning even in pain and difficulty. For Substance Matters find AA or Celebration Recovery. What we leave as our Legacy is so important. Psalm 23 calls this the footprints we leave behind us for the others to know we walked well.

Blessings found in Finishing Strong.





My cousin Maxine is next. She had at least 25 strokes, two were severe.

I was her Legal Guardian for 12 years while she lived from age 82 to 94 in a Methodist Memory Loss Building in Dallas. I learned something important about brain function. The day Maxine entered CC Young, I was speaking with the Director of the Memory Loss Building and I wondered out loud how fiercely private Maxine would do with the loss of her personal freedom. Suddenly a hand was on my hand, I was assured Maxine would be fine - even relieved. I was so reassured and yet not.

 The Director of Memory Loss said Alzheimer patients suffer for 30 years many times covering up for brain function loss. Here in the care of open recognition - comfort is given. Maxine found comfort.




Edward has brain issues due to injury as a child playing outside. Similar to Football Dementia. Roger Staubach of the Dallas Cowboys said he was suffering this about 25 years ago. From all the concussions as he retired from being Quarterback. Some of the football players have not gone further down hill. Why is this? According to Dr. Frank Adams, retired Chief Medical Director of MD Anderson - making our brains do our will and not the will of the brain is very, very crucial to brain health.

Brain Health.
One of Edward's freak out points is parking lots. He has said this for 30 years. He gets ballistic and shrieks words that would generally fall into the 'ungracious' category. Do you know these words??? We might all have some experiences in this area. So. Dr. Frank Adams said to Edward. "Edward. Are you really listening? This is important for Your Life."

"Edward, how many times have you tried to restrain your anger in parking lots?" The answer was never. Dr. Frank Adam said, "To make your brain healthy, you have to decide how you will behave and make - not your emotions be still - but your behavior to be within good behavior." "Self Restraint to Good Behavior."

This is not only called Brain Health. This is called by Dr. Frank Adams, "Making New Pathways." "New Pathways in the Brain."

How do we know this is true? Frontal and Temporal Lobe Dementia is like Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde Behavior usually. The Divorce Rate is 92% before diagnosis is ever even considered a necessity. This is Football Dementia. Now is there real hope? Roger Staubach has recovered. Roger always did "Make a Wish Foundation." Roger was frequently seen in the Children Hospitals in Dallas and is a very Devote Roman Catholic. Roger knows Faith and Jesus. Roger knows polite.'

Memory games and Mathematics are tools as well.




The Way and the Truth and the Life of Brain Health.

Hear Oh Israel. The Lord Your God is One. Love the Lord Your God with all your mind, soul and heart.

We are not just tissue. We are not just bodies. We are not our minds which will perish and not go to Heaven. We are souls.

This portion of our Post does Not apply to all of Alzheimer's Disease. Repeat. Does not apply to all Portions of Alzheimer's.  God tells us to live our lives putting our paths as straight (forward) as we can. God gives us the Gift of Life to say let Love be Genuine.

M. Scott Peck wrote The Road Less Traveled: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth and he wrote People of the Lie The Hope for Healing Human Evil.

When Love is not genuine. Motivations are for self, advancement, power, position and money. Paths are not straight. The Word of God calls this "selfish ambition." Darkness is a path called the ends certainly causes mean. Eventually choosing a path for only self - makes the brain loop.

When you have spent time in a Memory Loss Building, there are no more polite fronts. All filters are removed. And the situation causing the illness can be revealed. Some Alzheimer Patients are the nicest people you hope to meet. The next door neighbor is a dearly loved best friend for life. The PTA Meeting was adorable. The teachers are just darlings. The family are the ones who love me.

And for the people M. Scott Peck wrote about the Memory Loss Building has medications to prevent violent plots and behaviors. No more fake encouraements given. No lack of mercy rules. The Memory Loss Ward is a safe place. Because this is realistic.


When we live long, we discover - to teach Life is to teach to Rise. If we do not discuss what realities there are - how will we learn?

I've met people in their late 50's who will not enter a hospital to avoid learning about death and mortal illness. Won't go to a funeral - death might be contagious and avoiding death and dying might be the secret to everlasting life.

Discussing what brain health is is vital to make decisions to make LIFE.


Micah 6 - The Word of God can be direct. Forceful. Necessary. Just as a child is not encouraged to learn what the camp fire would feel like to touch. Being parented is a very evident reason Father God speaks plainly.

Good Brain Health.

He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?



The courage and valor of Jesus's Mother teaches us - the grit to remain, the Hope for Love to Prevail until this is the way and truth. Emotions like fear and discomfort were pushed aside and help is given always.

Where grit is not found, there is no hard won peace to live without real gratitude.

Abba,

May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to You, my Rock and Redeemer.

With Your Blessing, Father God, we will speak in public, we will speak to our children knowing to Bless the Children of God

Our Lord Father God bless you and keep you;
Our Father make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
Our Father lift up His countenance [His Smile] upon you and give you peace.
Jesus' Love and Name upon the people of God and Please have Your Good Will bless us.

Your blessings prevail when we want to find Your Abundant Blessings.

Bless us to be covered in Jesus before, after, surrounding and within us.


Jesus Bless the ones we Love with Your Love, mercy and guidance. Jesus bless our cares to be placed firmly with Father God.


Jesus bless our lives and Nation to Trust in You.


Jesus, please, cover the Nations finding Your Brightness.


Father God, You send us Your Comforter and Helper knowing all the Children of God surround Your good creation asking for more Heaven on this earth and  give Thanks for Your good will.


Amen in Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 3 ~ the promise in Christ Jesus


Ah - best to add all this with anonymity: Gentile (sometimes the term describes outsiders), goat or zombie.



Ephesians 3



3 how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly. 4 When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.

6 This mystery is
that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, 
members of the same body, 
and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.


God is so very interesting in His timing.
Jeremiah proclaims the New Covenant when his culture has completely rejected Father God. We are so blessed Father God responds:

Jeremiah 31:31-34

“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts.

And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 


And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”


The Amazing and Wonderous Grace of Father God.


This grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 
9 and to bring to light for everyone 
what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things, 
10 so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. 1

1 This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, 
12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him. 
13 So I ask you not to lose heart




Jesus, just like Father God, knows all the prayers of all the parents.


4 For this reason, I bow my knees before the Father,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named




16 According to the riches of his glory
he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith

—that you, being rooted and grounded in love

18 may have strength to comprehend 
with all the saints
what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge,
that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us





Remembering the Mothers with us and alive in Heaven!
My Grandmother Elliott (Bit) who loved wind chimes.






Abba,

You alone are Good. And You arrive in the small voice within us Elijah found.


Your blessings prevail when we want to find Your Abundant Blessings.


Bless us to be covered in Jesus before, after, surrounding and within us.


Jesus Bless the ones we Love with Your Love, mercy and guidance. Jesus bless our cares to be placed firmly with Father God.


Jesus bless our lives and Nation to Trust in You.


Jesus, please, cover the Nations finding Your Brightness.


Father God, You send us Your Comforter and Helper knowing all the Children of God surround Your good creation asking for more Heaven on this earth and  give Thanks for Your good will.


Amen in Jesus Christ.

Luke 10:27 ~ your neighbor as yourself











Matthew 2:15
where he stayed until the death of Herod. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: "Out of Egypt I called my Son."




Jesus, God's Son, the Exact Nature of God - has traveled far to explain God's Love.



Luke 10:27
27 And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”







Exodus 4:22
Then tell Pharaoh that this is what the LORD says: 'Israel is My firstborn son.'

Mark 10:45
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.

Isaiah 60:3
Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

Matthew 28:19-20
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”



Mother's Day. Brave women arrived to protect their children. Moses was not the firstborn son of God, Moses was carried by water to be saved. Jesus is Living Water.

We are carried by Jesus to be saved.

In the similarities of the story, we find how far God has gone to explain to the generations and generations how He Loves us.

Jesus has fed not just the multitudes, Jesus has fed the millenniums. Jesus has fed us.



Our Abba,


You are the Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

You make  me lie down in green pastures,

You lead me beside quiet waters,


Jesus refreshes my soul.

He guides me along the right paths

for His name’s sake.


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.


You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.


Surely your goodness and love will follow me

all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.


Uplift those I Love and people that are given. Bless us to have Love and wisdom.
Watch over, lead and guide our Churches, Communities and Nations. We look in Expectation of Jesus. Amen.

John 2:1-12 ~ do what He tells you


Mother's Day. So 20th Century.


Jesus is yesterday, today and tomorrow. WWJD?  We'd
have to say The Wedding in Cana. Jesus brought all His Disciples to visit His Mother and stayed for a few days. Vacation! Wine! Was there anything remarkable... let's remember.... Something in the water?


Gifts - What if we remember to tell Father God we remember the Widow of Nain and her son. There is a Mother's Day Gift!!!



What other Gift? Jesus caused division in His Mother Mary's household among her children. Jesus gave again - Acts 1 and Acts 2. The sons of Mary - Brothers of Jesus Christ - came together to pray daily.



Jesus was asked by the mother of John and James if Jesus would give her sons the Right Hand Seat of Jesus in Heaven to her sons. Jesus said this was for His Father to give and declined. Who would Father God give this to? I'd guess Mary and then Joseph for rescuing the infant Jesus, who is God. Rescue God and God is pleased for the love of the rescuer. Mary probably more than Joseph - for going in to save Jesus, as an adult, setting up His Brothers to tag along in the rescue.




If you want to be intensely drenched in the Mother's Day Discussion - notice with me - There are two Genesis Creation Chapters explaining Creation Twice, Twice. And in one of the Chapters, God explains He is not only Father but, also, Mother because Adam is created with an extra rib, created in the image of God.

High Comfort is our Father God to the Children of God who have only experienced one parent instead of both.




John 2:1-12


On the third day
there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples.

3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”

4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.”

5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it.

9 When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” 1

1 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days.


The Kingdom of Heaven is Love, Joy, Faith, Peace and Goodness. There is no shortage. Blessings Abound.



Father God,

Yours is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory. You have given us Your Word, Jesus Christ. The Manifest Word of God has told us 
Families Live on Heaven and earth. 

In the Seeds of Faith, we will come and Nest in Your Branch, Jesus.

We Thank You for the Blessing Jesus has shown families in Acts 1 and 2. We know the Power of the Scriptures. And Pray with Expectation to Finish Strong in Jesus Christ.

Let us live more Heaven on earth Jesus has planned for us to do the work of believing each day. Mercies renew to find what God has loaded us with - Blessings.


For all of God's Children, we ask in Jesus. Amen.

Luke 7:36-50 ~ Say it, Teacher


Luke 7:36-50


36 One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house and reclined at table.

37 And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, 38 and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment.

39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner.”

40 And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.”

And he answered, “Say it, Teacher.”

41 “A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 When they could not pay, he canceled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?”

43 Simon answered, “The one, I suppose, for whom he canceled the larger debt.”



And he said to him, “You have judged rightly.” 


44 Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

45 You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet.

46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.

47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much.

But he who is forgiven little, loves little.”

48 And he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”




49 Then those who were at table with him began to say among themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?”



50 And he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

I love the look of the actor in Jesus of Nazareth. He looks like the Shroud of Turin. The edges of the Shroud of Turin were repaired in the 14th century but the center is far older and contains remnants of unexplained radiation. Surely we could agree the Shroud is a Wonder of God. Even Popes wait to be there when the Shroud is brought out. There is a face cloth matching this in Spain and the material has been tested to be the same.


Perhaps Michelangelo had thought of Salome coincidences. The Altar has a painting of the Pope's Biagio da Cesena (1463–1544) was a 16th-century Italian official who served as Papal Master of Ceremonies. Rumor for many years said he was painted as both angel and fallen by Michelangelo. Historians today say Biagio da Cesena was only painted as fallen for being a critic of the Sistine Chapel.


We live in an interesting time in History. Never have so many advances been recorded and how different the generations are in expectations.

We know for certain the Bible is not a made up 400 A.D. oral history. Papyrus 46 explains how intact the Scriptures are from the late first and early 2nd century A.D.

We have witnessed so many archaeological finds. Opinions have been vastly changed about the Bible. The Pew Report shows the USA changes denominations to reflect their faith. We don't sit warming the pew any more. Lives change.

The old litmus tests of Faith in the last century have all but faded to distant memory.


Astonishing to find how active the United States is in faithful prayer daily. All of this isn't old or broken as we look at photos of people in Middle Eastern formal attire from the time of Jesus Christ. We may live close to the Jetsons we never expected to see in our lifetimes, but faith - real faith - is very real.

Changes.
Teaching has changed. Two or three generations past teachers paddled hands with rulers to get results. Today we know we offer rewards to children. Good behavior all week gets a reward like frozen yogurt or a trip out with parents. Jesus taught with forgiveness. He forgave and Jesus then healed.

Steadfast God of Love.
To remember the gracious style of Jesus we should always remember the Parable of the Talents.

Where we Aim High. Or as Jesus said Rise. The one who expects to work with the Kingdom of God and be within His Blessings works with Joy. The Goodness of God is expected with ten talents. The lowest talent says God is harsh and is unhappy with our failing to really try hard enough to pull for the Kingdom of God. We are the people of the New Covenant. We pray and know Father God Loves us.

God tells us, again and again, He is our Parent. He delights in us. Aaron was invited into the Holy of Holies again and again. Father God certainly knew Aaron was going to sprinkle the whole place with blood. We surely do not hope someone to sprinkle us all with blood. Or our home. God finds the delight of His heart is with mankind. And God arranges Holiness to come to us because we could not obtain holiness.



Matthew 5:41
1 and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two.

We might do this once. Father God has certainly gone very, very far further to provide Our Righteousness and Holiness in Jesus Christ. Not as our waiter for prayers to fill, but as our Father, our Savior. The Righteousness of God is all inspiring. Jesus accepted the Disciples.

Jesus had 72 Disciples beyond the 12. After Jesus fully explained the New Covenant and Communion - a lot of Disciples left Jesus. Walked away. From Jesus. I'd bet you - if we looked at every Chapter in the Gospels even the 12 Disciples could have reason to have pain they failed God in every single Chapter. The Disciples were the Swiss Cheese of Goodness. And Jesus did not leave nor forsake, nor grind down those Jesus felt could leave one talent and become Ten Talents.

Jesus forgave and forgave. Jesus loves very, very much. Jesus delights in mankind upon looking into them. Jesus has assigned, credited, planned and Loved people with all numbers of talents in many seasons of their lives.







Father God, our Abba,

We pray with supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for senators, representatives, governors, vice presidents and presidents and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.


This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.


For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all


We pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling. We are saved through wanting to provide a safe, good and respectful life for our children. We continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.


We ask for our Nation to find purely peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere leaders.


We are petitioning Father God for Him to bless and keep this generation with so many changes. That His Face will shine upon those who are in need of Him. That Abba will be gracious to this culture and time. That our Merciful God will Lift His Face upon us, to smile with His favor and help us to be at Peace being Covered with the Name of Jesus.


We will never cease to pray for the people God has placed in our lives, those we Love. We will pray with Hope for our cares and for this Nation. The Churches of Jesus Christ the Lord. And for the people all lifting prayers to our Lord.


Praying for a voyager going to the other side of the Planet for Blessings and Safety.  For Loved Ones with critical health issues for hope, comfort, Joy and Mercy. In Forgiveness, we are healed in Jesus. 


More Heaven on earth with expectation of Your Goodness, Amen in Jesus Christ.

Psalm 37:39,40 ~ The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord




Psalm 37:39,40


The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord

He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
The Lord helps them and delivers them.

He delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.





Hezekiah walked with faith and he had times he tore his clothes in despair and put himself apart in prayer. Hezekiah had plenty of times he was sure certain doom had arrived.

All of his worries did not appear. The fortifications worked for the good of those who love the Lord and worked according to His Purpose. Something like the Disciples were known to worry intently from time to time.

Walking or working with faith - in the opposition to the Might of the Assyrian Empire led Hezekiah and the Children of Israel to walk with faith. Not always a comfortable journey - yet living and moving and having their Being with Father God gave Hezekiah Life. Life to the Children of Israel.



Isaiah 14:1
For the Lord will have compassion on Jacob and will again choose Israel, and will set them in their own land, and sojourners will join them and will attach themselves to the house of Jacob. And the peoples will take them and bring them to their place


2 Kings 18:3
And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done.

Numbers 23:19
God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it


2 Kings 19 The Lord's Battle
35 And that night the angel of the Lord went out and struck down 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians. And when people arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies. 36 Then Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and went home and lived at Nineveh. 37 And as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer, his sons, struck him down with the sword and escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.


2 Chronicles 29:30
King Hezekiah and his officials ordered the Levites to praise the LORD with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with gladness and bowed down and worshiped.













Matthew 13
31 Jesus put before them another parable: 
“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field. 32 Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet it grows into the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”


Olive Trees Mount of Olives - Josephus records the Olive Trees in the History of the Jews 70 A.D. Theorized to be the same trees by the death of some of the Olive Trees and the size of the trunks. Trees from the life time of Jesus Christ.


2 Chronicles 32:5  716 B.C.
To protect the large number of refugees who scrambled south after Assyria invaded the northern kingdom twenty years earlier, King Hezekiah built a wall around the western hill of the city of Jerusalem.



Abba,

We thank You for the Salvation of Jesus Christ, our righteousness.


The Glory of God continues forever. Thank You we will see Your Glory.


Broad Wall of Hezekiah for the Assyrian Fight that did not occur


2 Chronicles 32:7-8
Be strong and courageous, do not fear or be dismayed because of the king of Assyria, nor because of all the multitude which is with him; for the one with us is greater than the one with him. With him is only an arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles

For more Heaven on earth.
For the Lord's Glory. For ourselves. For those we love. For the people God has given us. For our cares. For this Nation Trusting in Him. For the nations of the World who Love His Brightness. And all the Children of God - enfolding His Good Creation.

In Jesus Christ, because of His Love, His Joy, His Mercy - we will become eyewitnesses and partakers of His Home. Love and Kingdom. Our Salvation in Jesus.


Amen.

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
