[Kathy in Alaska]

And I see using an emergency thread is all screwed up!!!

Just look at the pictures and forget the captions...

I’ll try to find the right pictures...

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...hope you and Penny enjoyed your day.

The boss moved the end-of-day Skype meeting to 4:45 and we were having major issues with printing checks. Needless to say the thread was late and I posted the wrong one. *sigh*

This working from home is really tiring.

Seeing Salvation

Bible in a Year:

• Joshua 22–24
• Luke 3

All people will see God’s salvation.

Luke 3:6

At fifty-three, the last thing Sonia expected to do was abandon her business and her country to join a group of asylum seekers journeying to a new land. After gangs murdered her nephew and tried to force her seventeen-year-old son into their ranks, Sonia felt escape was her only option. “I pray to God. . . . I will do whatever is necessary,” Sonia explained. “I will do anything so [my son and I] don’t die of hunger. . . I prefer to see him suffer here than end up in a bag or canal.”

Does the Bible have anything to say to Sonia and her son—or to so many who have suffered injustice and devastation? When John the Baptist proclaimed the arrival of Jesus, he announced good news to Sonia, to us, to the world. “Prepare the way for the Lord,” John proclaimed (Luke 3:4). He insisted that when Jesus arrived, God would enact a powerful, comprehensive rescue. The biblical word for this rescue is salvation.

Salvation encompasses both the healing of our sinful hearts and—one day—the healing of all the world’s evils. God’s transforming work is for every story, every human system, and is available to everyone. “All people will see God’s salvation,” John said (v. 6).

Whatever evil we face, Christ’s cross and resurrection assure us we’ll see God’s salvation. One day we’ll experience His final liberation.

By:  Winn Collier

Reflect & Pray

Where do you need to see God’s salvation in your life? How has God called you to be part of His transforming work on earth?

God, You promise that all people will see Your salvation. I claim this promise. Show me Your rescue and healing.

[luvie]

Always remembering our troops
And praying for their safety as they
work so hard to keep us safe and free.

Good evening, radu….did you have a warm day? Rain?

LONG and stressful day. Checks finally printed back at the office with the head of the department standing by. He is going to have quite the experience getting them thru the ancient check folder, postage on them, and then in the mail.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Hope you are getting good rest while you pack. When is the big day?

[radu]

Howdy, LUV.

Hope you had a good day. Did it warm up as much as they said it would?

I was dismayed to wake up, look out the window, and see clouds. But by mid-afternoon, the sun finally broke through and it was gorgeous. Been a while since we got to enjoy a pretty day.
