Thank you. Considering the ice storm we’re having here, I may or may not be able to get to church tomorrow.

“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”

I believe this biblical passage was used in the John Ford movie, "Three Godfathers," starring John Wayne. It happened when the Wayne character was in a desert cave dying of thirst with a baby in his care. He lost all hope and tossed a Bible to the ground. The wind flipped the Bible pages until it came upon the page with the passage above (if I remember correctly). At that moment, a donkey appeared at the opening of the cave and Wayne rode it with the baby into a nearby town, thus saving themselves.

BTW, quite a good movie.

Thanks Pastor. Just listened to the Lutheran Hour a few minutes ago. I have National Guard drill this weekend, so those two sermons will have to do as my service.
