Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Heavenly Father,
How Wonderful is Your Holy Name!
You Alone Are Worthy of Worship and Praise,
For You Alone Are The One True God,
How We Love to Sing Your Praises,
How we love to give You The Glory.
Rock of Ages,
Our Strength and our Song
Our Refuge in Times of Trouble,
Our Rock and Our Redeemer!
How Wonderful Are Your Precepts;
How Precious Is Your WORD!
How Eternal and Sure Are Your Promises!

Let all that has been Concealed
Be Revealed.

Father, We Pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem,
According To Your Will and Promise.
We Pray That You Will Forgive The Sins
of Our Own Nation,
and Lead us all to Godly Repentance.
Create in Us Clean Hearts, Oh LORD,
and Renew a Right Spirit Within Us.

This we Pray Together,
As We Await Your Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Set Up His Kingdom,
And Make All Things Right.

God Bless America.

Anybody who has driven in Massachusetts will understand this next sentence:

In order to go to my friend's house., I have to drive North on Rt 3 17 miles, navigate the Infamous Braintree Split, go SOUTH on I-93 a few miles, NORTH on Route 128 about 5 miles, SOUTH on I-95 about 15 miles, NORTH on I-495 another 13 miles, SOUTHWEST on Route 126, and then onto a few country roads, and there she is. This is a similar route if one wishes to go to the outdoor concert venue at Great Woods, or Gillette Stadium for a Football Game. The funniest part of this crazy scenario is that my friend and I live at the same line of Latitude, just not the same Longitude. What should be a 30 minute hop ends up taking more than an hour.

The reason for all of this insanity is that Boston is shaped like the hub of a wheel, and the highways are like spokes. There are two "Beltways", Route 128 being the Inner Beltway and I-495 the Outer Beltway. The Infamous Braintree Split connects Route 3, I-95, I-93, Route 128, Route I-24, and Route 37. It all comes together near Historic Quincy MA, Birthplace of TWO Presidents. Anyone wishing to travel to New Hampshire, Cape Cod, Boston, the South Shore, or Metro West needs to Pass Through the Braintree Split. Here's a Picture of it:



Traffic is usually congested because there are so many exits and onramps, but it is next to impossible to take an alternate route, due to all the small towns, crooked roads, and traffic signals. A half-hour delay at the Braintree Split translates to over an hour by any other way. As incomprehensible as it may seem, that route is really the only way to get around Eastern Massachusetts without having to go through Downtown Boston. I'm quite aware of that fact, and really don't mind using that route, except that my innate sense of direction balks at going North in order to go South, and going South in order to go North. It messes me up! I have to admit, it's rather ingenious how they were able to put that interchange in that particular spot, considering the tiny amount of space involved, the shape of the City of Boston, and the fact that the terrain is SOLID GRANITE. It is an engineering marvel, even if it is counter-intuitive. It even confuses GPS.

Some of the things Jesus said are similarly confusing and counter-intuitive. Unlike the Syncretism of the Ancient World, where Conquered and Conqueror shared each other's gods and goddesses, The God Of Abraham demands exclusivity. If one wants to take a different road, fine, but it won't lead to The Father.

I used to do a lot of quilting and displayed my wares at Craft Fairs all over New England. It amazed me how the "Artsy" Community mixed and matched symbols from hundreds of different religious traditions without any regard to their meaning. The mixing of symbols such as Dream-Catchers (Ojibwa Native American), with Isis (Ancient Egyptian), Moons and Pentegrams (Witchcraft), Earth Goddess Imagery (Pagan), Crystals (New Age), Skulls (Aztec), and Crosses (Christian), were more confusing than the Braintree Split.

But, even at the Braintree Split, not all of the roads lead to Boston. In fact, there is only ONE (I-93) that veers off and goes directly into the City. If you miss that exit, you end up driving further and further away from Boston, and you could end up in Providence RI, New Hampshire, Cape Cod, or Attleboro before you know it. If there is a Concert at Great Woods, or a Football Game at the Stadium, FORGEDDABOUTIT! You will be hopelessly LOST.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. (Mark 4:22)

God Bless America.

I thank God I love in Nowheresville with one main road and all others parallel or perpendicular to it. May God give you strength and patience and great vehicles.

Psalm 102

A prayer of one afflicted, when faint and pleading before the Lord.

1 Hear my prayer, O Lord;
let my cry come to you.
2 Do not hide your face from me
on the day of my distress.
Incline your ear to me;
answer me speedily on the day when I call.

3 For my days pass away like smoke,
and my bones burn like a furnace.
4 My heart is stricken and withered like grass;
I am too wasted to eat my bread.
5 Because of my loud groaning
my bones cling to my skin.
6 I am like an owl of the wilderness,
like a little owl of the waste places.
7 I lie awake;
I am like a lonely bird on the housetop.
8 All day long my enemies taunt me;
those who deride me use my name for a curse.
9 For I eat ashes like bread,
and mingle tears with my drink,
10 because of your indignation and anger;
for you have lifted me up and thrown me aside.
11 My days are like an evening shadow;
I wither away like grass.

12 But you, O Lord, are enthroned for ever;
your name endures to all generations.
13 You will rise up and have compassion on Zion,
for it is time to favour it;
the appointed time has come.
14 For your servants hold its stones dear,
and have pity on its dust.
15 The nations will fear the name of the Lord,
and all the kings of the earth your glory.
16 For the Lord will build up Zion;
he will appear in his glory.
17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute,
and will not despise their prayer.

18 Let this be recorded for a generation to come,
so that a people yet unborn may praise the Lord:
19 that he looked down from his holy height,
from heaven the Lord looked at the earth,
20 to hear the groans of the prisoners,
to set free those who were doomed to die;
21 so that the name of the Lord may be declared in Zion,
and his praise in Jerusalem,
22 when peoples gather together,
and kingdoms, to worship the Lord.

23 He has broken my strength in mid-course;
he has shortened my days.
24 ‘O my God,’ I say, ‘do not take me away
at the mid-point of my life,
you whose years endure
throughout all generations.’

25 Long ago you laid the foundation of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
26 They will perish, but you endure;
they will all wear out like a garment.
You change them like clothing, and they pass away;
27 but you are the same, and your years have no end.
28 The children of your servants shall live secure;
their offspring shall be established in your presence.

Ugh. What a knot.

And to think my big worry is that I-90 splits where I-25 ends. Take the wrong turn, you end up going to South Dakota instead of Denver.

Joining in prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem and for our beloved America.

Sounds like typical government work.

There’s a town in our area that I’m convinced that when it was built, someone threw a plate of spaghetti on the floor and used that as the street layout.

[left that other site]

I-90 connects to Route 128 And to I-93 many miles apart. It’s North and South and East of the Infamous Braintree Split, depending on which direction you’re going. One junction is in Newton and the other one in the Chinatown section of Boston.

I am not making this up.
