Isn’t technology great? Last night I signed up with LIVESTRONG.com & created my own food diary. If truth be told, I am still working my way around the site, but I DO have my LIVESTRONG profile up & running. I still need to figure out how the fitness-tracking works, but I am confident that I’ll [...]
{Mark 8-11-26} Today’s Gospel lesson has Jesus frustrated. Apparently the Pharisees are doing what Pharisees do best, which is challenge Our Lord. Today we find them demanding that Jesus show them a ” sign” that He is Who He says He is{ and is the Savior that we modern Christians know Him to be} They [...]
I am deviating from my RCL blogging today to address an issue that is pertinent. Best Dude & I had a GREAT Feast of St Patrick Weekend. We went to Pensacola all day on Saturday & spent the day walking around downtown. Our priest’s rock & roll band { yes!!} played at a beer join [...]
{ Mark 24-37} We read a lot in the Gospels about the relationship between Jews & Gentiles. Apparently the two groups did not like each other much. Today’s Gospel, once again, has Jesus working against the ” norm” . He is Jewish, yet when the Gentile woman came to Him for healing of her daughter, [...]
Psalm 95 I love music. As a matter of fact, it is my love of music that helped me first come to know Jesus as our LORD & Savior. My family is not a churchgoing group. With our dad raised as a Roman Catholic & Mom raised as Jewish, my younger brother & I grew [...]
Today’s Epistle really spoke to me. Listen to these words concerning KNOWLEDGE versus LOVE. Th letter-writer says: “”Anyone who claims to know something does not yet have the necessary knowledge,but anyone who loves God is known by Him.” { 1 Corinthians 8:3} God knows us , & he loves us. It matters not how smart [...]
Today’s Gospel has Jesus returning to His hometown. Rather than lauds, he faces harsh judgement & criticism by the people who knew Him when he was young. Every year, I spend approximately one week up North. While I do anticipate this trip with joy, there is a bit of apprehension that follows me on the [...]
Today’s Gospel lesson is a portion of Mark’s account of the teachings of Jesus’ performing healing miracles. In the text, we see some of the leaders telling the father of a woman presumed dead that Jesus did not heal her{ the dead woman} Again, let us look at what Our Lord tells one of the [...]
Today’s Gospel is the story of Jesus casting out the demons from a man , transferring said demons into a herd of swine , and then running the herd over a cliff. As usual, I am transfixed by the words of Our Lord at the end of Mark’s account of this miracle. Jesus says to [...]
“And I wonder/still I wonder/ Who will stop the rain?” ~ CCR Seriously though, today’s Gospel lesson has Jesus & His disciples in the middle of a storm at sea. Ever since I’ve lived in Northwest Florida, I’ve been acutely aware of the power of moving water. Unless one has been through at least one [...]
