Hi!
Bible in a Year:
Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!
When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, the crowd was hoping He would be the one to fix their external problem—their oppression by the Romans. They went wild, shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!” (Matthew 21:9). This was the moment they’d been waiting for; God’s appointed King had come. If God’s chosen Deliverer was going to begin reforming things, wouldn’t He start with all the wrong out there? But in most gospel accounts, the “triumphal entry” is followed by Jesus driving out exploitative moneychangers . . . from the temple (vv. 12–13). He was cleaning house, and from the inside out.
That’s what happens when we welcome Jesus as King; He comes to set things right—and He starts with us. He makes us confront the evil inside. Jesus on the donkey is like the warriors in the Trojan horse. The horse was welcomed as a symbol of peace, but its ultimate aim was unconditional surrender. Jesus our King requires the same from us. Reflect & Pray
What does it mean for Jesus to be your King? Why is it vital for you to surrender your all to Him?
Dear Jesus, You’re the true King. Forgive me for wanting You to only fix the problems in the world around me and not to confront the sin in my heart. Show me where I’m prone to wander and expose the ways I want to run my own life.
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
Good evening radu!
Love the graphic, that’s really great!
Howdy, lauren!
How are things over your way? Did you have any ugly storms?
I’m keeping an eye on the radar this evening because we’re likely to have something blow through here later tonight. We’re under a tornado watch but I doubt things will get THAT bad. We could get a hefty thunderstorm though.

Thank-you to ALL WHO HAVE SERVED!
Howdy, PRO.
How was your weekend? Did you go over to play with those silly pups?
Pretty low-key here. We did a little more cleaning out in the garage - - Aunt Martha’s junk. I’d gotten a lot out already last year but got burned out and stopped. Now we’re back at it again and MAYBE we’ll get it all out this time around. Cleaning up after hoarders is NOT my idea of fun. LOL
I did visit Robin and the pups yesterday and they're as cute as ever, the little guy, of course, demands the most attention.
We got a smattering of snow yesterday but most melted today, still very cold though.
Cool that you're continuing to clean out the 'mess' of Aunt Martha's.
Also thanks for that link to that awesome military museum, what treasures it holds!
That silly lil wild man is never gonna change. LOL They’re all adorable and must be a lot of fun to play with.
Brrrrr, snow. Glad it was there and not here! It was fairly warm, though wet, yesterday and almost reached 70 degrees today. Now a cold front is rolling through.
We’re just getting the last of Martha’s s tuff out of this house. There’s still stuff in the barn and in some of the other outbuildings that she brought back from CO after her husband died. And in our garage.
There’s still a lot of stuff to dig through in Clara’s house but I just haven’t been up to the task for a while. THAT mess is still overwhelming. LOL
Glad you enjoyed the video tour of the military museum in CO. That place is amazing!
Hi, there, radu!
Did you finally get some of that garage stuff hauled off? Bet it’s hard to tell with so much piled up. I guess that ODAAT applies to hoarders, too. :)
