Thanks for the Canteen tonight, ladies.
Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...a good day for you?
AMEN
Good evening, Ma! I had company today, Quinn came for a visit with her Grandmother!
She is so darling, weighs 13 pounds now, and she is strong.
When she is not happy she is a wiggler and hard for me to hang on to.. :-) Was a nice surprise to see her.
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...how did the choir do at the biker service today? Were you a quartet?
Lessons today?
Well, as I mentioned yesterday, I sprained my ankle, so hauling equipment and setting up a PA was out of the question. Along with that, the facility was being used for a big motorcycle charity run, which precluded us setting up drums and things onstage. So I just hobbled in with my cane and my acoustic guitar and did an entire solo thing, impromptu, and it went fine
Sometimes a gal’s gotta do what a gal’s gotta do..
A US congressman, John Lewis, was 23 years old when he participated in the historic 1963 civil rights March on Washington led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Half a century later, journalist Bill Moyers asked Lewis how he was affected by Dr. Kings I Have A Dream speech that day. Mr. Lewis replied, You couldnt leave after hearing him speak and go back to business as usual. You had to do something, you had to act. You had to move. You had to go out and spread the good news.
Many who encountered Jesus found it impossible to remain neutral about Him. John 7:25-46 records two different reactions to Jesus. While many of the people believed in Him (v.31), the religious leaders tried to silence Him by sending temple guards to arrest Him (v.32). The guards were likely present when Jesus said, If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water (vv.37-38). The guards returned without Jesus and were asked, Why have you not brought Him? (v.45). They answered, No man ever spoke like this Man! (v.46).
The words of Jesus compel us to act, and to move, beyond business as usual.
