Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

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)

Today during a daily morning walk, picking up a rock that fit comfortably in hand ... thinking of the nature of rocks. They are enduring symbols. Hearing and seeing as it were all of History. Once a scientist said on the radio, that all spoken words were still reverberating in the universe, Interesting to think about.

Rocks were witnesses to Israel and Joshua ... crossing the river Jordan into the promised land. 2 Sets of twelve stones ... one set for a memorial there for Israel forever. One set of 12 stones in the midst of the river that ‘all the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty, that ye might fear the LORD you God forever’.

Joshua 4

Flying Solo

September 13, 2012

May 20-21, 1927, marked a turning point in aviation history as Charles Lindbergh made the first-ever solo, nonstop, trans-Atlantic flight. There had been other flights across the Atlantic, but none were accomplished by a pilot flying alone. It was a historic achievement. When Lindbergh landed at Le Bourget Field in Paris, he was thronged by thousands of admirers applauding his success. And when he returned to America, he was further honored with parades and awards in celebration of his individualistic courage and spirit.

Even though Lindbergh’s solo flight was dangerous, living in this fallen world of ours can be far more so. Followers of Christ, however, can be encouraged and comforted that we never have to “fly solo.” The night before His crucifixion, Jesus promised that He would not abandon us but would send His Spirit to be with us and in us (John 14:16-17). The apostle Paul later affirmed this, saying, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Cor. 3:16).

In a world filled with despair and trouble, we can take courage. The Holy Spirit lives within us, providing us with His peace and comfort (John 14:26-27). Aren’t you thankful that you never have to fly solo?

Father, allow me today to rest in You, to walk with
Your Son, and to lean on Your Spirit.
Thank You for Your never-failing presence,
helping me in all the challenges of life. Amen.
The Spirit within us guarantees that we’re never alone.

Read: John 14:15-27

Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? —1 Corinthians 3:16
Bible in a Year:
Ezekiel 31-33

HAPPY THURSDAY
TO AMY’S PLACE!



Sunset, Blasket Islands, County Kerry, Ireland

AN IRISH BLESSING
(Click)


May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I had to discard one rug, but I was able to save the other one. Glade makes a special product that is baking soda and other enzymes especially for “pet problems”! LOL!
