There When You Need It

When I donated blood some time ago, a nurse gave me a card to read while a pint of the vital red fluid was flowing out of my vein. The card showed the percentages of people who have different blood types. Here are some of them:
| O-Positive | 37.4% | |
| A-Positive | 35.7% | |
| A-Negative | 6.3% | |
| B-Negative | 1.5% |
The rarest, AB-Negative, is found in only 1 in 167 people, or 0.6% of the population. Then the card made this eye-catching statement: "The rarest blood type is the one that's not there when you need it."
There is another supply of blood that is one of a kind and always available to those who ask for it. First John 1:7 states, "The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin."
It was the death of Christ—the shedding of His blood— that satisfied the demand of a holy God as payment for our sins (Hebrews 9:12,22). So now, whenever a person cries out in faith to God, repenting of his sin and pleading for forgiveness, his prayer for salvation is answered.
I am deeply grateful that Jesus was willing to die on the cross, giving His blood for me, so that forgiveness was available when I needed it. Aren't you? —Dave Egner
Jesus takes our sin and gives us His salvation.
or it might just be that the Wall Street Journal blasted him and that CNN had not come out to defend him in any way...

Top of the Mornin' to all ye O'Snowflakes.
In honor of the day, here's an assortment of Irish Toasts:
May neighbours respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.
Those are great!
All in green, the wild irish grandkids camped out all over the place and my coffee cup in my hand.
Life is good.
I didn't know that. I'm B-.
As a sometime depression sufferer, I have been known to quip:
B-negative is both my blood type and my life ethos.
Those little fellows have to dance like that all day? I think they might need to get a union...
LOL!
