Hey there, radu! Great score on the quiz! We had another lovely cloudy day today. No rain, but the rain we’ve gotten has a better chance of not evaporating.

Any more “rips” on the cam that I missed? heehee

One Thing Needed

Bible in a Year:

• Ezekiel 1–2
• Hebrews 11:1–19

You are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one.

Luke 10:41–42 One weekend in March, I led a retreat on the theme of Mary and Martha, the sisters in Bethany whom Jesus loved along with their brother Lazarus (John 11:5). We were in a remote spot along the English coastline. When we were snowed in unexpectedly, many of the participants remarked how the extra day together meant they could practice sitting at Christ’s feet as Mary did. They wanted to pursue the “one thing . . . needed” (Luke 10:42 nkjv) that Jesus lovingly told Martha she should embrace, which was choosing to draw close and learn from Him.

When Jesus visited the home of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, Martha wouldn’t have known He was coming in advance, so we can understand how she could have been upset with Mary for not helping with the preparations to feed Him and His friends. But she lost sight of what really mattered—receiving from Jesus as she learned from Him. Christ wasn’t scolding her for wanting to serve Him but rather reminding her that she was missing the most important thing.

When interruptions make us irritable or we feel overwhelmed about the many things we want to accomplish, we can stop and remind ourselves what really matters in life. As we slow ourselves down, picturing ourselves sitting at the feet of Jesus, we can ask Him to fill us with His love and life. We can revel in being His beloved disciple. .

Reflect & Pray

What distractions keep you from receiving from Jesus? How can you sit at His feet today?

Dear Jesus, thank You for loving to instruct me in Your ways. Help me not to get distracted by my activities, but to focus on You.

[luvie]

Good evening, Rus! So good to see you! Thanks for our beautiful lesson from God’s Word! I’m afraid that I’m way too distracted, too...by everything it seems. :)

Repeat post in case you missed it.

Comments from a Vietnam vet that came with the video.

“Between the lyrics of the song and the pictures that accompany it makes you wonder how we all survived that 12-month ordeal. Sometime in the mid 90’s I was on a golf trip to Linville, NC, while having dinner I noticed at the next table was sitting General Westmoreland. To this day I regret not going to his table and calling him, McNamera and Johnson, what they were, murderers. Fifty-eight thousand young men and women wasted for some political agenda. I am proud that we did our duty but am biter about the loss of life.”

“Guys, someone sent this song to me a while back.

Based on Leonard Cohen’s famous song titled “Hallelujah”, the words have been changed to reflect the realities of the Vietnam war and to various extents, what we all experienced. The pictures do a great job of matching the words.

It’s a nice Tribute to all who served in Vietnam and elsewhere too during that time.”
