Wind 3:16

Can’t see it.
Can hear it.
Bible says,
Like the Spirit.

Born first flesh,
Born again spirit.
All flesh dies,
Do not fear  it.

For God so loved,
You and me.
He sent His Son,
To set us free.

From sin and death
There is relief.
The cure is,
A tiny bit of belief. 

John Chapter 3

brain train

My Brain
By JSM

I have a brain,
Like a train,
With a loose,
Caboose.

The further I go,
I look back to find,
I am not all here,
I am further behind!

sad

Sad

I feel sad.
I feel profoundly sad.
I have friends in many countries.
I hear from them directly,
They have no food.
They have hungry children.
They are beaten if they venture out.
They ask me how I am.

Nineteen

19 was a good number
Until Covid19 came along.
The microscopic corona virus,
Has done a good number such wrong!!!!

borrowed or stolen

Borrowed or Stolen?

Today is Palm Sunday. My mind is drawn to the anonymous provider of Jesus transportation. Who was he (or she) ? Why would Jesus borrow without asking? Did this person know Jesus personally?

Inferences and Assumptions

If Jesus and the disciples had taken a meal or lodged with the donor previously, Jesus would have used the person’s name. My assumption is the donor of the donkeys was unknown to Jesus by name.

What if the owner said “no”? It would have thrown out of kilter a plan the Bible says had been millennium in the making. God’s most important event relied upon the good will of one anonymous donor.

I have been and still am collecting money for orphans in Africa. It is a humble, grass roots effort. Last weekend we had an event for what we expected was 45 orphans but 75 arrived. The most recent addition to the role are seven children whose parents were poisoned.

I would like to honor an anonymous (to you not to me) donor who gave me a check for $25 as a way to honor all the donors to all God’s works around the globe.  God bless you.
