Wish you could just stay home with Penny, but know you probably have things to do and places to be.

Well, I was unable to go to church this morning (Special Guest Bible Study), because it took me two hours to shovel off my car and clean the driveway. However, it’s all done now. If it snows tonight, I’ll call the Asst. Pastor to pick me up with my bass and my book for Sunday Service.

I’m right on his route between his house and the church.

That’s a bummer, but so glad you will have a back-up plan for tomorrow. All of you stay safe!

Dr.Zhivago was on the Dish recently. I remember watching that many years ago. Julie Christie was stunning.

We are warmer here, but not above freezing yet. It is not painful to be outside though.

Snow on the way Sunday night, up to 3 inches, no big deal.

😄🥶❄️

While staying inside where it is warm, why not come here and get to know us?

Happy Saturday, everyone.

She was indeed.

I was 12 when the movie came out. My Mom would not let me go see it because it was an “adult” movie.

I went anyway, lied about my age, paid the adult price of $2.00, and sat through the entire movie TWICE.

When I got home, Mom demanded to know where I had been for the last six hours.

I told her I was at the movies, watching Dr. Zhivago.

“That was an ADULT MOVIE!” Mom yelled. “It showed two people in bed together who weren’t married!”

“They were married!” I replied. “Just not to each other.”

That’s when Mom realized I was not a little girl anymore.

Unimaginable Promises

Bible in a Year:

• Numbers 1–3
• Mark 3

He has given us his very great and precious promises.

2 Peter 1:4

In our moments of greatest failure, it can be easy to believe it’s too late for us, that we’ve lost our chance at a life of purpose and worth. That’s how Elias, a former inmate at a maximum-security prison in New York, described feeling as a prisoner. “I had broken . . . promises, the promise of my own future, the promise of what I could be.”

It was Bard College’s “Prison Initiative” college degree program that began to transform Elias’ life. While in the program, he participated on a debate team, which in 2015 debated a team from Harvard—and won. For Elias, being “part of the team . . . [was] a way of proving that these promises weren’t completely lost.”

A similar transformation happens in our hearts when we begin to understand that the good news of God’s love in Jesus is good news for us too. It’s not too late, we begin to realize with wonder. God still has a future for me.

And it’s a future that can neither be earned nor forfeited, dependent only on God’s extravagant grace and power (2 Peter 1:2–3). A future where we’re set free from the despair in the world and in our hearts into one filled with His “glory and goodness” (v. 3). A future secure in Christ’s unimaginable promises (v. 4); and a future transformed into the “freedom and glory of the children of God” (Romans 8:21).

Reflect & Pray

Why can it be difficult for us to accept “unearned” grace and love? How does it touch your heart to consider that in God’s eyes you have a future filled with unimaginable beauty?

Jesus, some days all I can see is the ways I’ve disappointed myself and others, the ways I’ve broken the future I’ve dreamed of. Help me to see the unchanging beauty of the future I find in You.
