Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Clean Hands
December 26, 2012

It seems that wherever you go these days, you see signs encouraging people to wash their hands. With the constant threat of germs and viruses spreading disease throughout the general public, health officials continually remind us that unwashed hands form the single greatest agent for the spread of germs. So, in addition to the signs calling for vigilant hand- washing, public places will often provide hand sanitizers to help take care of germs and bacteria.

David also spoke of the importance of “clean hands,” but for a dramatically different reason. He said that clean hands are one key to being able to enter into God’s presence for worship: “Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place?” he asked. And the answer? “He who has clean hands and a pure heart” (Ps. 24:3-4). Here “clean hands” is not a reference to personal hygiene but a metaphor for our spiritual condition—being cleansed from sin (1 John 1:9). It speaks of a life committed to what is right and godly—enabling us to stand blameless before our Lord in the privilege of worship.

As His life is lived out in our lives, He can help us to do what’s right so that our hands are clean and our hearts are ready to give worship to our great God.

Worship, praise, and adoration,
All are due to Jesus’ name.
Freely give your heart’s devotion,
Constantly His love proclaim. —Anon.

The road to worship begins with gratefulness
for the cleansing of God.

Read: Psalm 24

Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart. —Psalm 24:3-4

Bible in a Year:
Revelation 1-3

Must retire – Reveille approaches relentlessly and I have not been feeling well today.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!

You Are a Tree

You love every part of the holidays, down to the candy canes and stockings. And you're goofy enough to put a Christmas tree ornament on your tree!

What Christmas Ornament Are You?

I don't have any ornaments on my tree...just lights.

[The Mayor]

Thanks Kathy, we did. I hope you did too.
Snow storm moving in tomorrow.
We had our first light dusting last night to make it a white Christmas here.

The last time i consorted with Baltimorians, I got into big trouble.

[Publius]

When I was living in Seattle, this group made its only West Coast appearance in Vancouver, BC. I drove up and spent the night just to hear them. It was worth it.

[doorgunner69]

Too many questions involving snow. I gave up.

[henkster]

Hi Kathy. I’m a snowman. “Friendly and fun, you enjoy bringing holiday cheer to everyone you know!”

Getting ready for 10-15” of snow here in central Indiana tomorrow. Probably not going to work. Grateful it didn’t come today so we could go visit family.

[left that other site]

The quiz says i am a “Snowman”. Well, I AM about 35% MiQ’Maw and Inuit.

We live in houses MADE of snow.

Inuit Joke:

What is the First thing we teach our children?

“Don’t eat the yellow snow”.

Seriously? A Snowman?
I moved to Florida to AVOID that.

[Kathy in Alaska]

God Bless you good, Mac. Good night and rest well. Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present.
Thank you for your service to our country.

They ARE excellent. But You know me.

Just HAVE to be a Wise Guy.

Can’t help myself.

[left that other site]

I really DID get into big trouble in Baltimore once though.

That is a long story, probably unsuitable for the canteen. LOL

But it involved pushing a dead motorcycle 5 miles along I95 .
