Have you ever wondered?

When I first started at my last church, Group Publishing started using the Holyland experience, I was so excited!  The first year we went to Galilee-by-the-sea and saw how Jesus called the disciples and tried fish and figs.  The next year we were off to Jerusalem. In Jerusalem, Steve and I were Rabbi's with such fun times!  We wore the Tallit but did not know the whole story about it.  So, since I needed to find out again, I wanted to share it with you. n Numbers 15:38-40 it says: Understanding the Tallit I n Numbers 15:38-40 it says: Understanding the Tallit 38 "Speak to the children of Israel: Tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue thread in the tassels of the corners. 39 And you shall have the tassel, that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the LORD and do them, and that you may not follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined, 40...

It's Easter! He is Risen!

Got this from Dayspring devotions: His Name is Jesus by Max Lucado HIS BIRTH Jesus... He could hold the universe in His palm but gave it up to float in the womb of a maiden. Christ became one of us. and He did so to redeem all of us. HIS MISSION Jesus... The man... who spoke with such thunderous authority and loved with such childlike humility. The life of Jesus Christ is a message of hope, a message of mercy, a message of life in a dark world. HIS DEATH Jesus... The palm that held the universe took the nail of a soldier. On the eve of the cross, Jesus made His decision. He would rather go to hell for you than go to heaven without you. HIS RESURRECTION Jesus... the moment He removed the stone, He removed all reason for doubt. Christ's resurrection is an exploding flare announcing to all sincere seekers that it is safe to believe. -Max Lucado We have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. I John 2:1

I am amazed by the Jesus I love and live for. I am amazed that someone loves me so much that He died for me.  He created me in my mother's womb, knows the number of hairs on my head, knows me and my choices before I even make them.  I am sure He puts his hands on his head at times and just shakes it!  He loves you too.  Billy Graham Ministry sent this to my inbox today and I thought it was important to share.  On Sunday, Easter Sunday, if you don't have a homechurch, I ask that you go to http://www.bayrevival.org/ and watch at 10:30 central time.  Rabbi Curt Landry will be speaking and it will be incredible.  Join us at church at http://www.bayrevival.org/ for an anointed service. The Beauty and the Agony of the Cross April 21, 2011 - Jesus Christ died on a rugged cross for our salvation. We do not worship that cross; we worship Christ, who is alive. Yet among all the emblems of the world, the cross is admired with awe and wonder.  I f I am li...

What a beautiful day!

It was raining this morning but it turned out just beautiful and cool.  We took a road trip out to the mountains and it was so incredibly beautiful!  It is just pretty here!  We took Mary Magg to the dr. today to get her final shot and heartworm meds.  The dr. said Mary is not  5 yrs old but only 2.  She did really well but so happy to be in her "mom's" arms again. She was just 5 lbs when we got her two weeks ago but because of cottage cheese and Iam's food, she has gained almost 2 lbs.  We asked her how much should she be and she said until she looks healthy.  So, we determined to put at least another 1/2 lb.  She loves to race!  We will say, ready, set, go and she will race with us.  It's kinda fun. We went to the Appalachia Museum yesterday.  It was wonderful, the musical instruments were hilarious and really neat.  We saw Peacocks along the way and lots of really neat baskets, outbuildings, and more....

Oh what the Lord has done, what my eyes have seen...

Good beautiful rainy morning from Heiskell TN!  Many natural disasters are happening all over, a few churches have burnt down according to the news.  Oh what in the world is happening?  Let's look into the mirror?  Who are you?  What are you really like deep down?  Is there unforgiveness in your past?  Have you asked for forgiveness for those that you have hurt and asked the Lord to forgive you? Easter is in just a few days and the wonder of His Love comes through so much than any other time!  As we experience this beautiful country here, it blows my mind how each area has incredibly gifted people in each place.  Here are a few pics to share.   Mary Magdalaine   Cades Cove TN   Pigeon Forge River   One day soon!   Steve's dreamin again!   Look closely at the date!  1879!   Notice the homemade pins!

Oh How I remember teaching during Lent.  How to receive your first communion and what it really means.  How did we get it in the first place?  It's the Jewish Passover celebrated by Jesus with His disciples as the Last Supper.  The jews left Egypt so fast, but first the LORD had instructions for them.  We celebrate it as Jesus celebrated with his disciples.  Here's a bit more explanation: What Every Christian Needs to Know About Passover Russ Jones , ChristianPress.com Wednesday, March 31, 2010 In many circles there appears to be an increasing interest in the Jewish roots of the Christian faith. This Easter season numerous congregations across the globe will hold a "Passover Haggadah" or more traditionally known as a "Seder" to gain a greater understanding of the Christian - Jewish relationship. A Brief History Passover is the oldest and most important religious festival in Judaism, commemorating God's deliverance of the Hebrews from slavery in E...
