Is that ol’ Joe?
Actually a death mask sculpture done by Elbert Porter. Elsie put the eyes in to give it weirdness.
Hold that thought...
At least not this past weekend.
But, oh, yeah....He's coming back.
That's because GMT hadn't been invented yet!
That are are TWO days on Earth at the present time. It's 9:33 PM Monday here in central Indiana, and 4:33 AM Tuesday in Beirut right now. There are MORE than 24 times zones around the globe.
So if someone 'predicted' something, most folks would miss it, if their clock is set local time.
(You'll note that Jesus did NOT say the YEAR or the SEASON would not be known.)
Actually though; if it's summer here, then it's winter in Rio de Janerio.
And whose YEAR will we use?
Chinese? Christian civilizations? MAYAN? <--- OOPS forget THIS one!! ;^)
Welcome to EARTH!
Actually, I'm more reminded of Groundhog Day.
John 15:11
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
They have an unexplained spiritual hunger.
Sure; the 'press' was using this story to MOCK Christianity, but I can almost guarantee you that folks who had NO interest at all in the subject will be curiously drawn to the Bible.
Dang!
You beat ME to it!
Yes; this IS true.
But for me and my house; I will choose the JOY!
There goes that Lion laying down with the Lamb thingy!
Jesus answered, The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.
HA!
The sucker was PLENTY weird without MY help!
Ya mess with my Bud and I'll give YOU the weird eye!
REad his collar: Bad to the Bone!
Why was John the Baptist beheaded?
Again as stated in my post, we are to be joy filled and this is produced not by circumstances but rather out of a heart of gratitude, happy is completed based on current circumstance. Again God’s primary goal for his children is not to make us “happy” but to make us Christ like. That is scriptural. I do not believe that should make our faces sour but rather it should cause us to rejoice in His amazing Grace! Blessings.

I think you confuse joy and happy. As a mother my primary goal is not to make my children “happy” but to love, teach, guide them to adulthood. If I tried to make them “happy”, they would be not much good as adults but rather spoiled children.
