A fantastic picture of Epsom Downs on Derby day — it is still an annual event in England, with the same cast of characters.

I suppose this best fits the category of National Day of Prayer for reasons that will become obvious
in SOMEWHERE IN TIME. (Music composed by Rachmaninov, and played by John Tesh.)

Thank you for the wonderful post. I read them everyday on The Pray for President Bush thread and they always bless me. I would love to forward them to my son who is very depressed. May I ask what website it is? Thanks again and may the Lord bless and keep you.

The Ascension

READ: Acts 1:1-11

I go to prepare a place for you. . . . I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. —John 14:2-3

The repeated appearances of Jesus after His death and resurrection brought His followers so much joy that they must have wanted the visits to continue indefinitely. But on the 40th day after His resurrection, having given His disciples final instructions, Jesus slowly ascended and a cloud hid Him from view.

Jesus could have vanished instantly, as He had done previously (Luke 24:31). But He chose to ascend visibly to impress on His followers that this was the end of His visits. His bodily presence would soon be replaced by “another Helper,” the Holy Spirit promised in John 14:16. Jesus’ ascension marked the dawn of a new era.

In His glorified human body, the Lord Jesus ascended, entered heaven, sat down at the right hand of God, sent the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-18; Acts 2:33), and now intercedes for us (Rom. 8:34; Heb. 7:25). He permeates the whole universe with His spiritual presence and power (Col. 1:15-23; Eph. 4:10).

An ancient writing says that Jesus ascended bodily into heaven “our entrance to secure, and our abode to prepare.” That’s true. But it’s also true that as God, He is always spiritually present with us and will be “to the end of the age” (Matt. 28:20). What a wonderful Savior we have!

The Lord ascended bodily
From earth to heaven’s throne;
Now He is there to intercede
For those who are His own. —Sper

Jesus went away so the Holy Spirit could come to stay.

Bible in One Year: Psalms 51–53

Silver
It is said that silver only purifies
In the most extreme heat of the foundry
The core of the flame
Where even the crucible glows
Too bright for the eyes to even glance upon
The smith waits with patience
While fire and stone do their work
Bringing metal and pot to the brink of catastrophe
Burning and purging away that which pollutes
Until the liquid reflects the face of the laborer

Humanity
One foot in the carnal
One in the spiritual
The folly and envy of angel and animal
Only intense distress can reveal true nature
And the Creator looks into the glowing crucible
Of nature, experience, and time
Bringing spirit and flesh to the brink of mutual ruin
Sins and failures are either purged or magnified
Until the soul reflects the face of the divine

Silent she rose from cold desert sand
Painted in shadows, a dark caravan...
Quiet as a whisper, with moves like a cat
She rules like a storm cloud, her eyes glowing black

Oh, and they cry Malaguena
Wait for me, Malaguena
I remember it well...
Oh, and they cry Malaguena
Wait for me, Malaguena
I remember it well...
Oh, too well...

And so they rode on wings of the song
Spinning in silence, the world was their own..
Two lovers locked in the arms of the dance
Freedom begins with a game or chance...

Oh, and they cry Malaguena
Wait for me, Malaguena
I remember it well...
Oh, and they cry Malaguena
Wait for me, Malaguena
I remember it well...
Oh, too well...

And now they rise like a wave on the sea
Lost in the rhythm, and ever they'll be...

Oh, and they cry Malaguena
Wait for me, Malaguena
I remember it well...
Oh, and they cry Malaguena
Wait for me, Malaguena
I remember it well...
Oh, too well...

May

May's exquisite fragrance of lilacs in my room; Has brought me joy and pleasure and kept my heart in tune. The lilies-of-the-valley strike up their notes of cheer. For Mother's Day and May Day are at this time of year. Florence Weaver
