It's Beautiful!
Jesus said, "Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me." Mark 14:6
|
After being away on business, Terry wanted to pick up some small gifts for his children. The clerk at the airport gift shop recommended a number of costly items. "I don't have that much money with me," he said. "I need something less expensive." The clerk tried to make him feel that he was being cheap. But Terry knew his children would be happy with whatever he gave them, because it came from a heart of love. And he was rightthey loved the gifts he bought. During Jesus' last visit to the town of Bethany, Mary wanted to show her love for Him (Mark 14:3-9). So she brought "an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard" and anointed Him (v.3). The disciples asked angrily, "Why this waste?" (Matthew 26:8). Jesus told them to stop troubling her, for "she has done a good work for Me" (Mark 14:6). Another translation reads, "She has done a beautiful thing to Me." Jesus delighted in her gift, for it came from a heart of love. Even anointing Him for burial was beautiful! What would you like to give to Jesus to show your love? Your time, talent, treasure? It doesn't matter if it's costly or inexpensive, whether others understand or criticize. Whatever is given from a heart of love is beautiful to Him. Anne Cetas
With thankful hearts give praise to Jesus For His blessings without end; Let's give to Him our full devotion He's our Savior and our Friend. D. De Haan
A healthy heart beats with love for Jesus.

Thank you for your usual wonderful lesson from God's Word, Mayor.
"How beautiful the hands that served
The wine and the bread and the sons of the earth.
How beautiful the feet that walked
The long dusty roads and the hill to the cross."
~~Twila Paris~~
The Lord is beautiful to those who believe in Him!

Sorry to post and run but after another computer crash and trying to deal with this slow motion one, I am heading to bed.
The push is on to finish this house in 16 days and of course the primary is Sept 13th.
I have a very busy week, working all day and political events almost every night.
See you in the AM and hopefully for a little bit tomorrow night.

Muahaha... Thanks for the great thread, Mayor.
Have a great week, everybody! Remember our awesome military men and women, fighting the good fight. Pray for their continued safety, as I will. They are the pride of America.
Let Freedom and Democracy spread abroad!

Our county gov't is a mess, too. We have a D.A. that's nuts, too.
I think it's amazing the perks "public servants" give themselves. Retirement benefits are out of sight. We've been fighting city hall for 6 years. It only began to pay off in late April when the city manager was caught on camera doing electrical work without a license. Then it began to snowball. It was indicative of Devine Intervention the way it all came about.
We will get the third vote we need installed tomorrow night.
It's taken six years and we have the Mayor (in office 2 years)and the local radio and paper on our side. All of us are Republicans--'cept the paper but the editor has been with us editorially--since the city manager cussed his wife. It's been like a zoo. The people we've been fighting aren't even smart! That's the scary part!!!
I had to bring this over here to continue the conversation..
This type of government is running rampant throughout parts of the country and I applaud you for doing something about it, as we are in Western NY..
What ever happened to the days when working for the government was "Public Service"? Government types these days are all about themselves and what they can do for their friends. Erie County NY has 9000 employees and a dwindling population below a million, 936,000 to be more precise. We are blessed with the highest taxes in the country, highest utility costs, highest business costs, highest medicaid costs (Nat avg 2500 per person, NY 5000 per person) more restrictions, regulations on businesses that puts us at the botton of the list #50 in having a business friendly atmosphere..
Corruption runs rampant from the governor to the local councilmen. Retirement with healthcare and pensions for life with no co-pays and on top of it all no state taxes are being paid and they move out of the state because it's to expensive to live here...
Our sales tax is 8.25% and they are threatening to raise it 3/4 of a penny. Every penny increase is worth 110 million in the county coffers. All of government has become addicted to revenue to hand out for jobs and pork spending to buy votes.
A wise and frugal government should be there to freely let the people regulate their own commerce, free of government regulations and constant interference. When the government fears the people, we have Liberty. When the people fear the government, we have Tyranny..
It's time for the People throughout the United States to take back control of the out of control spending and corruption that is effecting our very lifestyles.
I wish everyone here could vote in NY. Tomorrow at 4PM I have an interview with the Buffalo Niagara Partnership, they are the biggest and most influntial business orginization in the area, Please Pray that the interview goes well and I get their endorsement. Also on Sept 7th I will be having my first televised debate with the Tonawanda Chamber of Commerce. All the candidates for County Legislature will be there, I am by far the most qualified for the job. I am completely involved in the start of the Tax Revolution that started in December and we created Primary Challenge which is the biggest threat the local elected officals have ever had to face.
By the Grace of God we will be successful in turning the tide and changing the direction of Erie County NY..

In your reply to lonestar, who succeeded in weeding out some corrupt ones in her government in Texas, you wrote:

Heartfelt prayers will abound here for you, Rus, that these hurdles and all others ahead will be eased and overcome.
You truly are a throwback to the passionate men who founded this nation, and you're an inspiration to us all, as is lonestar.
It is our honor, to know you, Your Honor.

Rus, keep their feet to the fire and stay in the public eye as much as you possibly can. The more people up there hear your message, the more they must believe it when you talk of change, and that the changes are better!
