AN HONEST DOUBTER

The often heard quip, "He or she is a doubting Thomas," usually is given in a negative way...someone who can't get with the program or is not a team player. The origin of this statement goes to the passage in John's Gospel. Thomas, who somehow missed the first appearance of the resurrected Jesus to the rest of the disciples, states he will not believe until he sees and touches the Lord. He is a realist, a man who is shattered in his faith after witnessing the arrest and death of Jesus. He is honest enough to admit it, stating clearly his needs.

When we go through traumatic experiences, and are shaken to the very fiber of our being, we need special reassurance. Although Jesus says to Thomas, "Stop doubting and have faith," notice He still meets Thomas where he needs it most, and in a manner just right for us. We must be honest about our need for Him, admitting our doubts and lack of faith. Unlike pop psychology our strength does not come from within us, but from outside from the God who knows best. "Come and experience, and go forth in faith to love and serve the Lord."

Extra prayers for Israel...

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...Shavua Tov and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Hope you had a great 4th of July. Parachute jumpers this weekend?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

[lightman]

Keep the Lord’s Day in the Lord’s way.

A blessed Fourth Sunday after Pentecost to all!

[lightman]

Many years ago I mentored a first-year Seminarian who I assigned to preach on John 11, the raising of Lazarus.

In that sermon he observed that, because the Apostle Thomas said to his brothers “let us go with him, that we may die with him” (regarding Jesus’ re-entry to Judea despite threats on his life) that Apostle should be called “FAITHFUL Thomas” rather than “doubting Thomas”!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.

Hope you and Blue have been able to spend some quality time together with nice weather.

Well, Blue is down right now, due to a faulty Voltage Regulator (like an alternator in your car).

It’s not something I can fix myself.

Grrrrr...the weather is perfect.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, lightman, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

And a blessed Fourth Sunday after Pentecost.

Hope you had a wonderful 4th of July.

Lots of fireworks here around midnight, and then some idiot at 2:30!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh no...poor Blue! Hope you can get her fixed on Monday.

My mechanic is six miles away. I will have to jump start the bike, charge the battery, and hope that I can get there without the battery dying.

I sure don’t want to WALK it 6 miles.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

A Blessed Lord's Day and Shavua Tov to you.

[Kathy in Alaska]

God Bless our military men and women who have given their all.

Thanks, unique.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sending a prayer that you and Blue and her battery make it the whole 6 miles with just the one jump start and charge.
