Sunday Reflections

Our Barred Owl has made several appearance in the past week. This beautiful bird hangs out on tree branches near our house - seemingly indifferent to everything happening around it. We've seen him (or her) sit there for up to 2 hours in the early evening - rarely moving - just the occasional turn of the head. Such a patient creature!

For my Palm Sunday verses, I chose these out of Matthew 20. Jesus once again foretold His disciples of His death and resurrection as they were about to travel to Jerusalem together for the last time. He told them exactly what was about to happen. Could He have said it any more clearly? It was common knowledge that Jesus had made these claims, hence the guards placed at the tomb. Yet, His disciples were still surprised when His tomb was empty!

All is well in the Keweenaw.

Although we’re still far from tulips and daffodils here in the Keweenaw, I just love this time of year. There’s still plenty of snow on the ground, but we’re enjoying a lot more sunshine. That sunshine makes the snow sparkle and spreads lovely shadows upon it, and I find myself gazing out at those shadows many times every day as they move across the yard.

We’ve been listening to some teaching on Psalm 119 lately. The Lord inspired David to record so much truth for us there. The verse I used for my photo today, verse 160, reminds us again of the truth of God and the truth of His Word.

From the opening verse of Genesis:

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

To the last 2 verses of Revelation:

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly.

Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

We can believe God and we can believe God’s Word. He makes no mistakes, has no regrets, makes no errors in judgment, and is plenteous in mercy. He has no beginning and no ending. He is from everlasting to everlasting. Amen!

All is well in the Keweenaw.

I can't let this day pass without including happy birthday wishes to 2 of my favorite people:

1. My Aunt Edie - the world's best aunt.
2. My Little Brother - pictured below. He's no longer that little and his drawers are no longer that baggy. 

All is well in the Keweenaw.
