It's Thursday at the Finest...that means it's another slam dunk from our favorite resident author...JohnHuaug2. Please stop by in and enjoy life on the RIGHT side.
:) Sure wish I had you 'gift' when I write my letters to the editor, JH2. I'm in awe of your ability to present the news in a humorous, truthful presentation, and at the same time putting DemDamDims and the mainstream media to shame.
dutchess, your graphics again compliment John's essay. Thanks to both of you.
Mornin', everybody ! Happy Thursday !
Read: Mark 6:45-52
He came to them, walking on the sea. Mark 6:48
Bible In One Year: Deuteronomy 14-16; Mark 12:28-44
When a helicopter crashed in a cold, mountainous wilderness, the pilots survived but were seriously injured. The frozen afternoon stretched toward an even more freezing night. The situation seemed hopelessuntil a rescue helicopter appeared, its searchlights illuminating the darkness. It spotted the wreckage, landed nearby, and carried them off to safety.
"How did you know where we were?" an injured man asked.
"The homing device on your aircraft," the rescuers told him. "It went off automatically when you went down. All we had to do was follow it."
The disciples of Jesus also experienced the joy of being rescued. They had been struggling as they rowed their boat against wind and waves in the darkness of night on the Sea of Galilee (Mark 6:45-47). Then Jesus came to them, walking on the water, and calmed the sea (vv.48-51).
We may experience similar times when all is dark and foreboding. We can't help ourselves, and it seems that no one else can either. No one knows how terrified and exhausted we are. No one, that is, except Jesus.
When we're trapped, hurt, lonely, or discouraged, Jesus knows it. Our cries of grief are beacons that bring Him to our sideright when we need Him most. Dave Egner
