Happy Red Friday, Conor.

Always a pleasure to see those patriots in red. Thank you for bringing them to us.

Hope you are enjoying this beautiful fall. (Hope your weather is cooperating!)

Happy Red Friday, Amy.

Up until Wednesday, we were having nice weather - We've had rain the last three days and don't expect any relief until Joaquin has run its course.

Hi trisham! Hope you are having a nice day!

I still have no red to wear on Fridays!

Not my fav. color for clothes.

Hi there, we had a call about the house 2 days ago. This was a call because of the yard sign. Seemed interested in the large barn my husband does car restorations in, as the caller also does that and wants such a barn. He said he would drive his wife by the house, and if she likes it, then they’d call back for a showing.

I am hoping he is the right buyer. When he sees the barn up close during a showing, he will love it, and the barn will “sell the house”. It is a true man cave, and huge at 40 by 70 feet. If only his wife would like the exterior of the house enough to call for a tour of the inside and the rest of the property. Hoping for the best!

Cheers

Hope the wife is ready for a whole house showing and she likes it. Barn sounds perfect for the man.

I hear you. Red doesn’t look right on me.

That sounds very promising, TCP. I can imagine that having a barn would be a great advantage when selling a house.

Better Than Waking Up

Oct 3, 2015

Today you will be with me in paradise. Luke 23:43

Have you ever felt that your life was ruined as a result of having done something embarrassing, shameful, or even criminal—only to wake up and realize it was just a dream? But what if it wasn’t just a nightmare? What if the situation was all too real—either for yourself or someone you love?

This is the situation confronted in George MacDonald’s 19th-century novel The Curate’s Awakening. It’s the story of a parish minister who discovers that he’s been speaking for a God he’s not even sure he believes in. Later, he is called to the bedside of a young man who is losing his mind and dying, haunted by a murder he has committed.

In the heart-rending struggle that follows, the minister discovers what we all need to see. The relief of waking up from a bad dream is nothing compared to waking to the reality of God’s forgiveness, which we once thought was too good to be true.

Where will we find the mercy we need? It is found in Jesus, who, from His own cross said to a dying criminal who turned to Him for help, “Today you will be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43).

Father in heaven, please help us to believe that our forgiveness is as real as the price You paid for our rescue.

For further study, read The Forgiveness of God at discoveryseries.org/q0602

We are saved by God’s mercy, not by our merit.

Insight:

According to Mark 15:25, Jesus was crucified at 9:00 in the morning. While on the cross, Jesus spoke three times before noon: He prayed for forgiveness for His enemies (Luke 23:34), He entrusted His mother into the care of John (John 19:26-27), and He granted salvation to the believing criminal (Luke 23:43). Beginning at noon, and for the next three hours, darkness engulfed the whole land, “for the sun stopped shining” (vv. 44-45). This period was largely marked by silence. Then just before He died at 3:00 in the afternoon, Jesus spoke four more times, revealing the anguish of His soul as He bore our sins and proclaiming the completion of the work of salvation (Matt. 27:46; Luke 23:46; John 19:28,30).

Deep In Our Refrigerator

Deep in our refrigerator,
there's a special place
for food that's been around awhile...
we keep it, just in case.
'It's probably too old to eat,’
my mother likes to say.
'But I don't think it's old enough
for me to throw away.

It stays there for a month or more
to ripen in the cold,
and soon we notice fuzzy clumps
of multicolored mold.
The clumps are larger every day,
we notice this as well,
but mostly what we notice
is a certain special smell.

When finally it all becomes
a nasty mass of slime,
my mother takes it out, and says,
'Apparently, it's time.'
She dumps it in the garbage can,
though not without regret,
then fills the space with other food
that's not so ancient yet
