The Great Comeback
June 12, 2011

We like to read about comebacks—about people or companies who face near disaster and turn things around. The Ford Motor Company is an example of that. In the 1940s, a reluctance by leadership to modernize almost destroyed Ford. In fact, the government nearly took over the company lest its demise threaten the US war effort. But when Henry Ford II was released from his military duties to run the company, things turned around. Ford became one of the biggest corporations in the world.

Occasionally, we need a comeback. We need to correct wrong directions or compensate for wrong decisions. In those times, we have an example in Peter. He had failure written all over him. First, he nearly drowned when his faith faltered (Matt. 14:30). Then he said things that were so wrong Jesus called him “Satan” (16:22-23). And when Jesus needed Peter the most, he denied that he even knew Him (26:74).

But that’s not the end of the story. In the power of the Spirit, Peter made a comeback. On the Day of Pentecost, he preached and 3,000 people came to faith in Christ (Acts 2:14,41). Peter returned to effectiveness because his faith was renewed, he guarded what he said, and he stood up for Jesus.

Struggling? If Peter can come back, so can you.

Today Christ calls, “Come follow Me!”
Do not look back to yesterday;
Fresh grace He’ll give to do His will,
His joy you’ll find as you obey. —D. De Haan

To become whole, yield to the Holy Spirit.

Read: Acts 2:14-21,37-41

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea . . . heed my words.” —Acts 2:14

Bible in a year:

Good evening, Kathy. Good evening, all.

Interesting evening.
Found myself alone and as any good man would do, I passed up on cooking myself dinner and drove off to Schnitzel Haus for some beer and bratwurst (okay, specifics might vary by man). Anyway, as I drive past St. Ephram's Church (not my local parish, mind you), I notice the time and I do want any good little Catholic boy would do: pull over the car so I could "get it over with".

Anyway, at the end of Mass, the priest mentioned two people joining us in the congregation: Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark. And they were having a book signing a little later.

So in mysterious ways, the Good Lord is trying to influence my summer reading.

~Wishing The Canteen A Blessed Lord's Day~

Almighty and Eternal God, . Protect our military as
they discharge their duties. Protect them with the shield
of your strength and keep them safe from all evil and
harm.
May the power of your love enable them to return home
safely to the people who love them and to the gratitude
of the American people..
We ask this through Christ our Lord.

"But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen." -from THE BIBLE: II Peter 3:18

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
let us shout aloud to the
Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.
