Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Thank You for tonight’s thought provoking Story!
In the Star Wars trilogy there’s a scene that reminds me of some church people I know. At an establishment somewhere in a remote corner of the galaxy, grotesque-looking creatures socialize over food and music. When Luke Skywalker enters with his two droids, C3PO and R2D2 (who are more “normal” than anyone else there), he is surprisingly turned away with a curt rebuff: “We don’t serve their kind here!”
That strange scene captures the malady that we all struggle with in our relationships here on planet Earth. We are always more comfortable with people who are just like us. But think of where you would be if Jesus had felt that way. He was divine, perfect in every way, which makes Him far different from us. Yet He came to dwell among us and to die for us.
Those of us who follow Christ shouldn’t have “they’re not my kind” in our vocabulary. As Paul reminds us, in Him “there is neither Jew nor Greek, . . . slave nor free, . . . male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Gal. 3:28). So, whether others are different in attitude, perspective, race, class, political slant, or social standing, it should make no difference to those of us who call ourselves by Jesus’ name.
Find someone who is not your kind and share Jesus’ love with them today!
Read: Galatians 3:19-29
Prayers for our injured and dead in Afghanistan this past week.
What a great addition to the Hall of Heroes! Those guys give everything they’ve got to their job..sacrificially and unswervingly!
Just like their human counterparts who are heroes, too! :)
Thanks, Galz!

Well, things just got busier.
I've started back at the gym in the mornings
which means my posts will be late
and leaves me little time to hang around.
Therefore, in order to get in my morning hellos
my morning posts may begin to look the same.
Time for me to make my rounds.
But, you stay right where you are. Cause...............I'll be bock!
The FR Canteen is ALWAYS
Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM
