PALM SUNDAY

Matthew 21.1 - 11

1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,

2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.

3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.

4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,

5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.

8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.

9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?

11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML, and a Blessed Palm Sunday, and Shavua Tov to you and yours.

Has the rain stopped? You and Penny get out for a hike?

[left that other site]

Well, the rain did stop, but I waited around for a contractor who never showed up. Grrrrrr.

The guy is GOOD, but works when he feels like it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Please join us for Sunday Chapel ~ PALM SUNDAY, and Liberty

Please stop in and say a prayer of protection for the military.
Prayers from all denominations are needed.




Sunday Liberty starts after the Guest Military Chaplain's Service!

[Kathy in Alaska]

The guy is GOOD, but works when he feels like it.

Been there, done that. So annoying when they don't show up.

Especially when I emptied out the kitchen for him. When I got a text that he won’t be here till Monday, I had to put everything back.

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

THANK YOU
for your service!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh no...moving everything twice and three or four times. Not fun at all.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu, and a Blessed Palm Sunday to you and yours.

Bad weather still coming?

Hope Restored

Bible in a Year: 1 Samuel 25–26; Luke 12:32–59

When Jesus saw him lying there . . . , he asked him, “Do you want to get well?” John 5:6

Does the sun rise in the east? Is the sky blue? Is the ocean salty? Is the atomic weight of cobalt 58.9? Okay, that last one you might only know if you’re a science geek or tend to dabble in trivia, but the other questions have an obvious answer: Yes. In fact, questions like these are usually mixed with a hint of sarcasm.

If we’re not careful, our modern—sometimes jaded—ears can hear a bit of sarcasm in Jesus’s question to an invalid: “Do you want to get well?” (John 5:6). The obvious answer would seem to be, “Are you kidding me?! I’ve been wanting help for thirty-eight years!” But there’s no sarcasm present, that’s the furthest thing from the truth. Jesus’s voice is always filled with compassion, and His questions are always posed for our good.

Jesus knew the man wanted to get well. He also knew it had probably been a long time since anyone had made an offer to care. Before the divine miracle, Jesus’s intent was to restore in him a hope that had grown cold. He did this by asking a rather obvious question, and then giving ways to respond: “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk” (v. 8). We’re like the invalid, each of us with places in our lives where hope has withered. He sees us and compassionately invites us to believe in hope again, to believe in Him.

By John Blase

Today's Reflection

In what ways has your hope grown cold? How has Jesus revealed His compassion to you?

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

There were some storms firing up around Birmingham earlier but they’re fizzling out at the moment. Still plenty in MS coming this way that will do who-knows-what when it gets here tomorrow. The weatherfolks say it could be a rough day.

Did you knock a good dent in the mountain of paperwork today?

Howdy, LUV!
I hope you’re having a grand time and that no wild weather is in the area you went to.

[luvie]

Howdy, radu!

It was kind of wild here last night. We knew it was supposed to rain, but we got warnings of violent storms. The son of my friend said that there were tornado warnings and I was happy I didn’t know that. LOL! There were some really bad tornadoes in east Texas.

Did you get some bad weather? I know they did in Mississippi and in Alabama. I was hoping it missed y’all.

[radu]

Glad no tornados hit that area, especially since you weren’t aware of the possibility.

It’s been cloudy and drizzly here today but the nasty stuff is on its way. Just now heard a clap of thunder close by but it’s just a regular thunderstorm. High winds, hail, and possible tornados are predicted for the wee hours tomorrow morning. As of now, it looks like we’ll be hit sometime around 4 a.m.
