What a wonderful scripture from Psalms today. How reassuring for those who suffer. I love your pretty pink flower, too. I hope you’ve had a very peaceful Sunday, Kitty! (((HUGS)))

Thanks very much, Jaycee! Hope you're having a great Sunday as well!



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

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)

My washer and dryer are about 18 years old. They look brand new and are running great so I won’t worry about that for a while. I have a man who can work on mine and if its reasonably priced, I’d rather get mine fixed.

Barry got the front loaders when he moved into his new house (it wasn’t a new house, but new to him). He likes them fine but I’m not anxious for those. However, I bought a new refrigerator when I bought the washer and dryer and I despise this refrigerator. This was the year they made the refrigerators more narrow to look at, but deeper from front to back. I have never liked it. Things just seem to get pushed to the back and lost! Its real hateful.

Not My Kind
February 27, 2012

In the Star Wars trilogy there’s a scene that reminds me of some church people I know. At an establishment somewhere in a remote corner of the galaxy, grotesque-looking creatures socialize over food and music. When Luke Skywalker enters with his two droids, C3PO and R2D2 (who are more “normal” than anyone else there), he is surprisingly turned away with a curt rebuff: “We don’t serve their kind here!”

That strange scene captures the malady that we all struggle with in our relationships here on planet Earth. We are always more comfortable with people who are just like us. But think of where you would be if Jesus had felt that way. He was divine, perfect in every way, which makes Him far different from us. Yet He came to dwell among us and to die for us.

Those of us who follow Christ shouldn’t have “they’re not my kind” in our vocabulary. As Paul reminds us, in Him “there is neither Jew nor Greek, . . . slave nor free, . . . male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Gal. 3:28). So, whether others are different in attitude, perspective, race, class, political slant, or social standing, it should make no difference to those of us who call ourselves by Jesus’ name.

Find someone who is not your kind and share Jesus’ love with them today!

I pray, O Lord, reveal to me If I have caused disunity, For You would have Your children one In praise and love for Your dear Son. —Branon

Love your neighbor— even if they aren’t your kind!

Read: Galatians 3:19-29

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. —Galatians 3:28

Bible in a Year:
Joshua 1-3

Lady Warrior

She is your little sister,
She is your neighbor’s wife.
She is somebody’s daughter,
You’ve known her all her life.
She may be someone’s mother,
She may be someone’s nurse.
She now has an M-16,
But once it was a purse.
She’s as soft as satin fine,
She’s also tough as steel.
She may fly a fighter jet.
For so strong is her will.
She is the female warrior,
She serves her nation well.
She may be from northern climes,
Or even Southern Belle.
Honor her and show respect,
And pray for her each night.
Know that she is still a girl,
But not afraid to fight.
