Easter, also called Pascha or even Resurrection Sunday, is just a Christian holiday and religious festival commemorating the Resurrection of Jesus from the grave, clarified in the New Testament as transpiring three days immediately after his passing around the island of the planet known as the Cross. On this day at many portions of the world, particularly inside the United States, children and adults alike attend bulk to observe the arrival of Jesus Christ. ” the Resurrection of Jesus is considered by many Christians because the most foundation of the religion started by Jesus. Easter is also a period for family, friends, and acquaintances to gather together to celebrate this major spiritual occasion.
Some crucial religious functions linked to Easter will be the shipping of Easter eggs for children on Easter Sunday and Lent, which include abstaining from eating meat on Ash Wednesday and Lent Sunday. In the two of these occasions, the Christian followers of Christ abstain from eating beef. Within the case of Easterthe eggs are shipped to children before lunch Easter Sunday although Lent continues from Ash Wednesday before Palm Sunday, throughout which Christians must abstain from eating beef. The Lenten period begins immediately after Easter Sunday and lasts for a dozen successive months. Christians use this particular period to get ready for the forthcoming party of Easter. It is also a time when they offer charity towards the poor, ensure individuals who have lost their residences and other belongings remain to be cared for, and send their children away to school.
Even the Lent period is particularly significant on account of the Passover holiday which falls on this season. The history of Passover dates back again to about 1200 B.C., making it one of the oldest ostergrüße 2021 neujahrswunsche.eu. This may be the story of how Jesus was born only as the Israelites were going into Egypt for the start of these travel toward the Promised Land. Their chief, Moses, handed and also a special meal which comprised unleavened bread, pasta, corn meal and cheese. As a consequence, those that ate this distinctive meal got to enjoy some great benefits of the commandments of God.
Christians celebrate Easter on a number of different holidays and observances. Besides the usual Passover ceremonies, most Christians celebrate spring up by observing exactly what exactly is known as the”season of giving.” Christians generally commemorate the birth of Jesus by ingesting fruits like berries and crimson apples, together with planting an orchard in their own title. All through March and April, Christians also indicate the onset of Lent by abstaining from food and drink and simply eating fruits and vegetables.
Christians observe Easter on several distinct levels. The absolute most observable is the party of the Egg of Spring. This occurs about Sunday right after Ash Wednesday every season and includes egg hunting, parades, special music and foods, and a parade through the streets. On Palm Sunday, that will be Easter Sunday, Christians gather to observe the freeing of Jesus in the crosscountry. Christians also observe forty days afterward using several activities like house-warming, dinner, singing at the church, and a lot more.
Palm Sunday is one of the important events which take place throughout Easter. In addition to this egg search, Palm Sunday parties involve singing of music and exclusive temptations, the laying of hands or anointing with oil, readings by your bible, a meal eaten at remembrance of this Passover holiday, and the sharing of particular emblematic food with other individuals. Another convention that is quite popular during the summer would be the custom of dangling Easter eggs onto the branch of a palm tree. Some also choose to set a little sign that states”Easter” or”Easter’s Day” in their door, on front door, on their window, or even any location in their homes where they feel motivated to do so.
A major portion of all Easter traditions within the United States consists of Springtime, once the first spring flowers appear and bushes begin to modify colours. The first Monday after Easter Is Called Easter Monday. Given that April is normally considered that the very first day of spring, so lots of people decorate their own home or workplace to appear like it has just been Springtime. For instance, rather than setting up Easter decorations onto front porch, you might choose to hang Easter decorations onto your garage doorway, to the walls of your bedroom, or anywhere else that you think would seem fantastic to grab the shifting of the seasons.
On April sixteenth, a significant party named Passover commemorates the deaths of Jewish kids throughout the length of their arrival of Jesus. It’s maybe not really a religious holiday, however far more of a yearly event that’s seen around the globe. Most Christians view Passover as a celebration of this passing of Jesus and put it to use for a means of showing their respect and support for the Jewish people and the memories they will have of Jesus. Many Christians maintain Passover feasts, cook conventional foods such as Passover poultry and egg recipes, decorate their homes with images of sheep or lambs, and compose special prayers to commemorate the deaths of these family members.


14k Yellow Gold My Guardian Angel Pendant/Angel De La Guarda Medalla - Be My Guide - Round Religious Medal
A guardian angel is a angel who protects and guides a particular person. The concept of tutelary angels and their hierarchy was extensively developed in Christianity in the 5th century by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. The theology of angels, and tutelary spirits, has undergone many refinements since the 400's, and contemporary orthodox belief in both the eastern and western churches is that guardian angels protect the body and present prayers to God, protecting whichever person God assigns them to. The Roman Catholic Church calendar of saints includes a memorial for guardian angels on October 2.

Fr. Daniel J. McNamara, SJ giving a homily during the wake mass of Fr. Victor Badillo, SJ last 28 October 2014 at the Oratory of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Loyola House of Studies, Ateneo de Manila University. See Manila Observatory’s Facebook page for more photos
Feast of Simon and Jude, Apostles and Saints
We are told that we know almost nothing of Simon and Jude, except that they were apostles- those chosen and sent by Christ- to proclaim the Good News. It is fitting that this last wake Mass of Fr. Victor be held on their feast day. Very little is known of him , for most of us. When I put the notice of his death on the bulletin board of our Jesuit residence in Davao , I was usually asked : “Who is he?”.
So let me try to give some answers to that most difficult question. I first met Fr. Vic when I was assigned to live in the Manila Observatory Community in 1966. He was then leading the Ionosphere Research group in which he was the only Jesuit and only Ph.D., the other members of the research group being lay workers. In his typical quiet way he went about his work ,24/7, maintaining the instruments which searched the upper atmosphere of our planet. This was a research project in support of the basic research that the Observatory had been doing ever since its inception some one hundred years before.
Since its founding in 1865 the Observatory had been doing basic geophysical research for the country to better understand itself as an island nation on the geographical equator, the volcanic “equator” or “ring of fire”, and the magnetic equator. The immediate impetus then had been the dangers of typhoons but soon a better understanding of earthquakes became an obvious desire. After the destruction of all the instruments and records of those first years were destroyed in World War II the Observatory came back into existence in the 1950’s with the same desire to better make use of its unique position on planet earth for the sake of the country and then in the new world after WWII for the world at large . Hence the MO moved into areas not usually studied yet ,such as the influence of the sun on the atmosphere of the earth. Thus ionospheric studies became a new division for research in MO. And so Fr. Badillo returning from his Ph.D. studies in Physics in the US was assigned this work, in 1967.
This was a new area of study for the world and for Fr. Vic. But he launched into it and produced published studies in the course of time. As he often shared, this kind of quiet, persistent, pain-staking attention to detail as a lifetime commitment required deep faith in the judgment of others, his Jesuit superiors and through them in God. Only a man of faith could sustain the daily threading of the needle of analysis needed to patch together data gleaned from the stars, in his case, the star we call the sun. He was creating a tapestry portraying the embrace of the mighty Sun on our Mother earth. But he was also creating another Story , that of a boy from Taal, Batangas, and the Son that embraced him in his Jesuit vocation. His first act of faith and trust in that calling came when he answered the call by entering the Jesuit Novitiate at Novaliches in 1949. It took acts of trust ever growing more fruitful when superiors called upon him to teach but one year and then go for Doctorate studies in Physics in the US. That was 1956. Finishing those studies he went on in his Jesuit formation to study Theology at Woodstock, Md. And then Tertainship and thus now fully formed returned to the Philippines in 1967.
Fr. Victor Badillo, SJ
His quiet life as a research scientist took another turn in the 1972 when he became Director of the Observatory, a position he would hold for the next almost twenty years. With this new thread, this new color added to the tapestry, Fr. Vic was called upon to grow yet again in his faith life. These were times of transition for the Observatory and for him personally. In these years he helped the Observatory reach out to the larger community of young enthusiasts for astronomy in his helping the PAS, the Philippine Astronomical Society. He himself showed them how to make Newtonian telescopes with , literally, his own hands as he ground the mirrors patiently. As an Administrator this patience was all the more needed as the Observatory needed to redefine itself yet again in a country undergoing political and economic chaos. This redefinition, this dedication to weaving the same tapestry of a scientific appreciation of the archipelagic nature of the country was finally realized when a new Director was appointed in1992 and the focus of the research became the unique Environment of the Philippines. For Fr. Badillo this transition and new vision setting called for new energies in his life of faith. The transition of the Observatory was also a transition for himself.
He approached me one day in the 90’s sharing that blood was appearing in his stool and he needed a physical checkup. This was in December and for the rest of that month we visited the hospital three times, the first two times hearing from the doctors that no source for the bleeding was found. Finally I told Fr. Vic that this two week coming and going to the hospital had to stop and so the third time we went in I said he had to stay until they found the source. This turned out to be a rare kind of grow in the upper reaches of his stomach which is why it has not been found previously. With this discovery the life of Fr. Vic changed from that of a researcher to that of the Researched. He himself was asked if he would want to be the subject of a medical research so that a newly discovered drug that would shrink the tumor could be clinically tested. He rather told me he wanted the tumor out. Thus we prepared for the operation only to find that his heart was not strong enough to undergo the procedure. Thus a series of medical trials entered the life of Fr. Vic. First there was the heart bypass and having recuperated somewhat from that , the removal of the tumor. These procedures took months which grew into years as time and the excellent care of the Jesuit residence Health Center did not seem able to restore the energy of Fr. Vic. But I feel his faith life was still sustaining him in the midst of these trials .
Thus just as faith gives us that inner realization that we are valued by the One who has Loved us, I think Fr. Vic ,relying on the Son’s strength in the last few years of his life, again entered His service in the only way now he could , using his technical skill to still serve others. Thus those of us in his address book have seen him offering now not now a new synthesis, a new picture on the tapestry of Philippine geophysics but a new vision of the church and modern society through the threads of contemporary religious and inspiring PC based news.
So the life of my fellow faithful Jesuit which scientifically began with a service of the world through a study of the tropical Sun ended with a faithful service of the brothers and sisters of the Son of man using his technical skills at the service of the Faith. Let me end with the Scripture summing up for Fr. Vic:
Ps 19A The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handiwork.
2Day to day utters speech, and night to night shows knowledge.
3There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.
6His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit to the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

My first post this year was about Jesus, who is the way, the truth, and the life. And no one—NO ONE!—comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). I'm not sure when I decided this biblical truth did not apply to me, but I did. Of course, this is not a subject to be taken lightly, but I can't help but write this with a bit of humor because of how silly (in a foolish sort of way) I have been.
Recently, this happened [internal dialogue begins here]:
J1: If you desire a relationship with the Father, J, then you need a relationship with the Son. You can't just use His name at the end of your prayers and expect that to constitute having a relationship with Him.
J2: But, but… but. Yeah. *hangs head in defeat*
This year I have mapped out a Bible reading plan that consists entirely of the four gospel accounts because I need to get reacquainted with my Savior, Jesus Christ. I am currently reading Matthew's account and I truly enjoy it. A friend and I have been sending facebook messages back and forth about our daily Bible readings, and I thought I'd share some of mine here. I hope you gain some enjoyment from my enjoyment as well!
I am cutting these chapters in half so that I can focus more on what the words are really saying… .1 = first part of a chapter and .2 = last part of a chapter.
Matt 8.1: Jesus wrapped up his sermon and came down from the mountain. Now he is going to work healing many. What struck me this time was how much of a people person Christ must have been while here on earth (and still is in heaven?). If I had crowds following me around and constantly asking me to do this or that for them, I would lose my cool for sure. But it seems that Jesus welcomed and encouraged the masses to come to him and ask him to heal them or others they knew. Just blows me away.
Matt 9.2: Wow did Christ exhibit patience and kindness when he was on earth! The last half of Matt 9 records several accounts of Christ being approached by people who believed he could heal them or someone they knew. Everywhere he went it seems he was surrounded by a crowd of people! How annoying! But if he ever got tired of constantly being followed around by people who wanted him to do stuff for them, it seems that he didn't show it. This makes me think of a mom who has a bunch of kids who are following her around because they need her to do something for them because they are hungry or tired or thirsty or sick or need a diaper change, etc. The last few verses give us Christ's emotional response to the crowd that followed him: he had compassion! He was not annoyed or angry or disgusted. He saw them as helpless and in need of a caretaker, guide, and protector (ie, they were sheep w/o a shepherd). Wow! I would probably just be annoyed by the whole situation. Christ was and is amazing.
I got Matt 14.2 here for us: Jesus has just learned of John the Baptist's death, so he goes out to a desolate place for some alone time. But the crowds follow him. Instead of being irritated that they are encroaching on his desired solitude, he has compassion on them and heals the sick who came after him. At the end of the day, Christ performs yet another miracle and feeds this huge crowd of thousands of people. [C]an you imagine being followed by thousands of people when you just want to be alone? Christ is so patient, kind, and compassionate! After he feeds the thousands he sends the disciples away on a boat but he stays to dismiss the crowd. Finally, after a long day of healing the sick, feeding thousands of people, and whatever else he did that is not recorded, he was able to spend time alone… alone but with his father. He prayed alone there in the middle of the night. Next we see him taking a stroll across the stormy seas to catch up with his disciples. At the close of the chapter he once again heals many sick. Jam packed full of Christ's miracles!
See a theme running through all of these recaps? I do. Jesus is approachable.
And now, if you'll excuse me, I haven't done my reading yet for the day.


I'm Back!!! I wrote only a handful of blog posts last year and I'm ready to get back at this again. So a whole lot has changed in my life over the past two and a half years. Actually my whole life has changed, for the better, all through and for God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. I started out the blog last April, excited about the freedom and joy I was experiencing in the Lord. All the awesome experiences I had and have with Jesus, his power, in this awesome race. The joy and freedom 9 months later is incredible as well. The level or depth of my relationship with Jesus gets bigger and better. Jesus is my best friend. I now know that every human, weather friend of family will in due time, let me down. Its human nature, I've let people down and people have let me down. That's why I have learned over the years to put my value and security in Jesus Christ alone. All other stuff is imitation crap that leads to nothing if not worse. Not saying family and friends are that, but hopefully you catch my drift. Tomorrow or my next post should have more structure or order, but for now be blessed everyone.

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder: “Come!”
Likewise, just as it occurred in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building...
"But on the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be the same on that day when the Son of man is revealed."
For they deliberately ignore this fact, that long ago there were heavens and an earth standing firmly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God;
and that by those means the world of that time suffered destruction when it was flooded with water. But by the same word the heavens and the earth that now exist are reserved for fire and are being kept until the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly people.


Coming Back to God -- again and again
I like to think that God is always in my mind and my heart, but I will admit that huge chunks of the day can go by before I realize I have not thought about Him, let alone prayed to Him. It's not like I don't have reminders: A crucifix hangs above interior doorways of our house; a Bible rests on a table on every floor. A small wooden cross even hangs from the rear view mirror of my car.
So how is it that I can forget about the God who I believe made the earth and all its creatures? How can I possibly spend hours writing, driving my kids places, running errands, cleaning the house and not have it dawn on me that all this was made possible by God?
When I do finally remember, I try to throw out a quick prayer. "God, please bless so-and-so....God, please help me through my day....God, please look after my kids."
What can God be thinking? "Well, hello there, ungrateful creature of mine. Nice of you to remember me! Do you think I go hours without thinking about you? But that's okay, you go back to whatever important tasks you were doing, and don't worry about me. I'll be fine, of course."
If I make God sound like an Italian grandmother handing out guilt like a full plate of spaghetti, it's because that's sometimes how I imagine him. He's loving and kind and generous, but He can throw a guilt trip at you in nothing flat.
And if I do sometimes see God like this, why doesn't it make me more aware of Him? Shouldn't I want to escape the guilt and spend more time with Him?
Then I have to think: Perhaps I am indeed spending time with Him -- every moment of my life. This is the life I was given, and every task I do -- whether it's going to church or washing the clothes -- fulfills my mission as a child of God. The fact that I am not conscious of that fact every second of the day could very well be God's way of keeping me focused on my life and what I am supposed to be doing.
That eases the guilt to a great extent, but it doesn't erase it. There's still that bit about forgetting God is in my life for hours at a time. Shouldn't I be thanking Him or talking to Him as often as possible?
The answer, of course, is yes. But how do I do this? One way is to reopen this blog, which I unceremoniously abandoned more than three years ago. In one of my infrequent chats with God, He reminded me about this blog, and, I'd like to believe, He encouraged me to get back at it. Maybe so I could continue to write every day. But perhaps He told me to start writing blog posts again so I could spend more time with Him. And that's a nice, guilt-free way to welcome more frequent visits with me.

A Prayer to Restore the Latin Mass
O' Jesus, we believe Thou art truly present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
We honor Thee here on this altar and all the altars throughout the world.
We pray that the sacred traditions of our faith and worship, which nourished and sanctified us and all the saints through the ages, triumph over the present age beset by doubt, confusion, division , instability and the love of novelty.
We fervently pray that the Latin Mass, which manifests outstanding faith, love, and reverence and devotion in Thy Real Presence be restored to its proper place of honor and glory it once had in the age-old tradition of our faith, and that Thy presence, in the most Blessed Sacrament be restored to its proper place of honor at the center of the main altar and always be at the center of our hearts.
Father, we humbly ask this in the name of Thy Son, Jesus and out of the great love for Him and the most Blessed Sacrament according toThy most pleasing will. Amen,


From the very beginning of the Catholic Church the gospel message was communicated by speakers taking the good news of Jesus Christ to the world. The hopeful message of Jesus, His truth and its ability to transform the lives of men, women and children was truly world-changing. Since that time the Catholic faith has transformed the lives of countless millions and now, in the 21st century, Catholic speakers continue to share the faith, build the Church and make Jesus Christ known and loved.
Great Catholic speakers can come from a range of Catholic backgrounds. They might be a recent Catholic convert, a Catholic theologian or a speaker who simply has a deep love for the Catholic faith and the New Evangelization called for by Pope St. John Paul II. Some have studied at a great Catholic university. Some have deep qualifications in theology or Catholic ministry in churches or Catholic parishes working with a different groups of Catholics. Some may have written a Catholic book or have other relevant experience as an apologist or have mission experience in parishes or have taught in Catholic schools. Regardless of their background a great Catholic speaker and their message of hope can have a profound impact upon your next event such as Catholic conferences and Catholic retreats.

"You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water." Psalm 63:1 (NIV)
“Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God." Ruth 1:15-17 (NIV)
One of the reasons I love to dive into scripture before I begin my day is because His word can and will prepare me for whatever the day may bring. He is the guard upon my heart, letting no thing pass through its gates that is not Holy and Righteous, and yet He is still purging the unrighteousness, and building up what was defamed to become Holy ground.
It is a powerful thing to proclaim His Name in the morning, to walk with Him in the day, and to lay down with Him at night. We are His Bride, ordained for His Kingdom to be co-heirs to His eternal throne... I have learned that as we defame His Name, we are not taking anything away from His Kingdom except ourselves. He is too grand to be hurt, therefore stop... stop hurting yourselves by trying to hurt Him.
Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d, King of the universe who has ordained us to be Your children, and Who has claimed us as Your own... Amen.

In our study of Peter's epistle so far, we have noticed That as far as the world is concerned, Christians are but "pilgrims" b.Biss0001 pinout
But as far as God is concerned, we are His "elect" 2. As the "elect" chosen of God, we are the recipients of many blessings that God offers to all who will obey and follow Christ a. One of these blessings is described in 1Pe b. There we learn that God has caused us to be born again unto "a living hope" 3.
Christian Reformed Church
An understanding of this "living" hope can help Christians who are "pilgrims" be more joyful during their sojourn in this life 4. Therefore, in this lesson we shall examine what Peter says about the Christian hope that makes it a "living" hope [ Verse 3 begins with Peter praising God, and this leads us to the first reason our hope is a "living" hope It is a good thing that it does not, for all are sinners in God's sight - cf.
Ro 2. Even as Christians we find ourselves guilty before God - cf. Mercy bestowed while we were yet sinners - cf. Ro ,8 2. Mercy bestowed upon the conditions of faith, repentance, and baptism - cf. Ac 3. Mercy bestowed continually upon Christians as they repent of and confess their sins - cf.
But according to verse 3 there is another reason to have hope If Christ is not risen, then the apostles were liars, and our faith is vain! If Christ is not risen, we are still held guilty for our sins, no forgiveness has occurred!
If Christ is not risen, those who have died as Christians have perished, they are lost!Stochastic calculus python
If Christ has not risen, then we do not have a "living" hope, instead we are to be pitied by others! Peter may have reference not to the process of conversion though he does in 1Pebut to the renewed hope produced by the resurrection of Jesus a. But after the resurrection of Jesus, His disciples were "born again" in regards to their hope c. As Guy N. Woods says in his commentary: "The reference here is Surely the fact that Jesus did rise gives us reason for a "living" hope a.
God would not raise a liar, so anything Jesus said about our hope is true - e. Since Jesus rose from the dead, we have a firm hope that we too will one day rise from the dead - cf. But there are two more reasons discussed in verses as to why our hope can be described as "living". One isOur sermon ideas on Hope will help you preach a powerful message. Prepare your messages on the life, stability, and purpose found with hope in God with sermon outlines or an entire sermon series.
Jeremiah has the distinction of being known as the ''weeping prophet'' and with good reason… it seemed even to Jeremiah that all he ever talked about was bad news. At one point Jeremiah cried out: Whenever I speak, I cry out proclaiming violence and destruction It seemed that every time he opened his mouth he declared judgment and destruction and death.
But here in this part of Jeremiah, all that changes. In this section of his book, Jeremiah is allowed to give a message of hope. In Jeremiah God told Judah: ''I have struck you as an enemy would and punished you as would the cruel, because your Christmas words. Well, when Jesus was born, hope was born into this world. I think it's difficult for us to comprehend how hopeless the world was before the first Christmas.
You know, Israel had about lost her faith. The Jews were under the iron boot of Rome. Their leaders were corrupt. Their worship was empty and sterile. The people were discouraged. It seemed that though God had promised the Messiah, for years there had been no prophet.
Since Malachi had spoken there had been no prophet. It seemed like the heavens were silent. All the prophecies of Jeremiah and Isaiah were so long ago that their Last week we presented an introduction to the first Epistle of Peter.
Tonight we're going to pick up where we left off, and there are four things that I want us to see in our text this evening. Of course, this Epistle was written by Simon Peter. He was the big fisherman that Jesus called to be a fisher of men. And the first thing that I want us to see in this text is I. And if you will notice, he is blessing the Lord and adoring the Lord for three things. First of all, he is blessing the Lord "which The average age of the great civilizations in history have been two hundred years.
That being true, that means that America is living on borrowed time, and that I do believe to be true.There is hope. We hear of death and destruction. It is so important that we ask our questions in the right way. Many people ask questions, but they never expect an answer. We must ask the right Person, the Person who has the Answer. We must bring our questions to God. Many people do not bring their questions to God, because they do not believe that there is a God.Maschera diavolo con cappuccio in maschere
They think that it is clever to disregard God. Many people believe that there is no hope, because they believe that there is no God. What are we to make of all this? What are we to do with the questions which arise in our hearts and minds? Are we to join the ranks of those who pay lip-service to God, yet persist in pushing Him out to the edge of their lives where He becomes completely irrelevant? Should we not, rather, look to the Lord Jesus Christ? In fact, we may go further than this.
Jesus does not only give the answer. Jesus is the Answer. Christ is the Answer for the world today. He lived such a long time ago. He must be out of date now. If there is any one fact of history, which convinces us that there is a God, it is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If there is any one fact of history, which convinces us that there is hope, it is the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
People speak about the great events of world history, but there is no greater event than this — the mighty resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Death could not hold our Saviour.No claims of absolute originality are made for this material. As one man said, "I milk a lot of cows, but I churn my own butter. Psalm It appears that he is in a difficult situation.
Yet, it is also very clear from reading these verses that even in the midst of the battles he is fighting, David still has hope. Hope is a powerful thing. Here is how the dictionary describes hope. The world sees hope as a wish or a desire.
There Is Hope.
Hope, for the world, is a longing for something that may or may not take place. The Bible teaches us a vastly different definition of hope. The world says that hope is merely a fond wish or desire. But, the words used for hope in the Bible tell a different story. Now, I know you have battles; but do you have hope?Bloody mouse apk
Are you resting in the sure confidence that God will do just as He has promised He would? That is the essence of hope and hope is a possession we all need to be sure we own in large quantities. I want to show you, from the words of David, why you and I have a reason to hope in the Lord. Notice with me where our hope comes from and what hope will accomplish in our lives.
David begins his psalm of hope by declaring his personal faith in the Lord. David has a personal relationship with God. This is the basic foundation for hope. These three great characteristics of God serve to give us hope even in the midst of battle! Because of Who our God is, we need not fear any enemy that should arise against us. Satan himself is no match for our sovereign God!Not all days are equal. We call it D-Day to commemorate what those young men did when they landed on the beaches of Normandy in the face of withering gunfire.
Tell the hungry to come and eat because God never runs out of grace. We have all been chosen by God to clap and cheer for our brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ. They need to hear it, and we need to do it. Let the applause begin. One of the first prayers I learned to pray was my bedtime prayer. I do not remember how old I was when I first learned it, but I know I was just a young boy.

Frederick Riddle's World
Your host & author

St. Augustine, FL
R. Frederick Riddle, Christian fiction author, seemed destined to write from an early age. But while now he has authored several Christian fiction books, it wasn't until he was 60 years old that he actually started writing.
Born in 1943 in the middle of WWII, R. Frederick early developed a love for history and literature. Reading was a great delight to him, especially when it concerned adventure. Whether it was the world, the United States or some region within easy reach of home, R. Frederick enjoyed it.
He was particularly interested in wars, intrigues, and explorations around the globe. As a child, he read one of the great masterpieces of literature: War and Peace.
In 1962 he joined the United States Navy and served as a radioman aboard two cruisers. During his stay in the Navy, he also served in the Seventh Fleet Communications Division, which placed him in the midst of the Vietnam War. Honorably discharged in 1966, he returned to civilian life in Pontiac, Michigan still burning with the ambition to write.
In 1973, he was born again; that is, he placed his faith in Jesus Christ. He joined the Baptist church and almost immediately began serving. Although later transferring his membership to a smaller Fundamental Baptist church, he continued to find ways to serve.
He has now spent over 39 years in the service of his Lord and Saviour. He has served as:
- Mission Board member
- Sunday School teacher and secretary
- Bus ministry worker
- Financial Secretary.
In addition, he once founded and headed a Christian ministry where he supported evangelists and missionaries around the world. Perhaps the most rewarding service had been his career in his previous church as a member of the staff where he was privileged to work under a beloved and well-known pastor.
In the course of his job, he enjoyed the opportunity of being on the "cutting edge" of history not only through his church's ministry, but also through contacts with many famous preachers and evangelists. This contributed greatly to his personal Bible study and knowledge.
Though he has moved to Florida and a new church, he has continued serving his Lord in similar fashion for a new pastor. Here he already has seen much growth in his Bible study and prayer. He has also seen the hand of God working in his life in real and practical ways.
While studying the book of Genesis the plot for Perished: The World That Was crystallized. He immediately began researching and writing the story basing it upon Biblical and secular history. Assuming that the first few hundred years after the Flood reflected the knowledge and skills of the people before the Flood, he used that knowledge to recreate the lost world that existed between Creation and the Flood.
All his books have been Bible based adventure novels. He remains committed to that format. So much so, that even non-Biblical books will be Bible based in world view. In 2012 he wrote The Rise of Shem, the sequel to Perished. Currently he is working on a 3rd in the series. He has also published a new novel based on U.S. history, Dead Eye Will, which is in eBook format only.
In 2012 The R Frederick Riddle Show, Blog Talk Radio, was launched. Starting out simply commenting on the news, he has since expanded to inviting guests plus taking a more proactive role. He now speaks boldly on a number of subjects.
Though busy with his career, R Frederick Riddle remains a committed and active member of his church.
He looks at his writing career as both a God-given talent and a God-given opportunity.
He says "--that was and is an exciting period in my life. To be able to incorporate God's own words and character into a novel is both challenging and exciting. Needless to say, I pray a lot!"
His newest novel The Rise of Shem, sequel to Perished, is now available.
EXCLUSIVE ONLY at T & R Independent Bookstore: Save almost $17 when you purchase the paperback combo of Perished and Rise of Shem. You will not find this offer anywhere else!


Who said this is a man’s world? Certainly not God. God loves women and loves to empower His daughters to live happy, successful lives.
In fact, God describes His idea of the model woman in Proverbs 31. Author Scarlett Stephenson admits that initially she considered the “virtuous woman” of Proverbs 31 an outdated cliché, out of touch with today’s woman in almost every way. Then God caused her to see this model woman as never before. And through this book, Scarlett escorts women on a verse-by-verse journey of Proverbs 31 to discover the ideal woman is actually a smart, strong, independent, physically fit, wealthy entrepreneur and generous philanthropist.
Now it’s your turn to slip into the shoes (high heels, of course) of the model woman and become more beautiful inside and out, and full of strength and character to impact the world around you.


BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) — The latest on Pope Francis' first trip to Africa. (All times local.)
Pope Francis has issued an appeal from the altar of Bangui's cathedral for all the fighting factions in Central African Republic and elsewhere to lay down their weapons and instead "arm yourselves with justice, love, mercy and authentic peace."
Bangui is awash in weapons as a result of more than two years of sectarian violence between Christian and Muslim militants that has forced more than 1 million people to flee their homes.
In his first Mass on Sunday after his arrival, Francis said Christians had as their primary vocation love for their enemy "which protects against the temptation of revenge and against the spiral of unending retaliation."
He said priests and nuns, in particular "must be first of all artisans of pardon, specialists of reconciliation, experts in mercy."

As previously mentioned I’ve wanted to paint “passages” that I associate with a Bible passage in the hope that my children can visually associate the images with a Bible passage that someday they will learn. This picture is of a Dominican Friary that was started in 1252. The whole setting lent itself to watercolor so it seemed the perfect next “passage” to paint. The Bible passage associated with this is: Psalm 62 vs. 1-2: For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly moved.
Passages 6: The Gate
This "passage" is of course the gate. This gate is from Pomona New York and I loved the bricks and wood. The passage associated with it is Psalm 24. Lift up your heads, o gates! and be lifted up, o ancient doors! that the king of glory may come in. Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle! Lift up your heads o gates! and be lifted up , O ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory!

The purpose of this site to disseminate the works of, and devotion to, Blessed Dominic Barberi C.P. and Servant of God Father Ignatius Spencer C.P.
Both these men, inspired by a supernatural zeal, worked, wrote, and prayed for England’s return to the true faith. Sadly Blessed Dominic and Father Ignatius are too little known and thus we hope this site will go some way to promoting them.


I wonder if you ever thought that some people get all the breaks while others get to do all the work? At times you might even put yourself in the 2nd category: doing all the work, seeing all the lucky ones get the same rewards. I remember when I was in the seminary and had completed a major project that saved the seminary a lot of money: I single handily cleaned up the baseball fields with minimal help from Frank, one of my classmates, to get it ready for the season ahead. Then one of my professors, the dean of men, on opening day gave all the credit to Frank and very little to me! You see, he would always mix up our names John & Frank, Frank & John. On this particular day, he did again, so Frank got all the credit while I got very little. My reaction to my professor (and to my friend Frank) was to “grumble” to everyone that day. My mood was sour as I felt that I had gotten short-changed for my hard labor! Not that Frank was a slacker, because he offered what assistance he was able to do. But I felt cheated and stayed in a grumbling mood. Doesn’t it sound just like what happened in today’s Gospel? The workers who came to work in the vineyard at the eleventh hour got the same pay as the ones who worked all day. Then they went to the owner who hired these late workers, yet paid them the same as they got, and grumbled that they were treated unjustly. The owner’s response was classic: “What if I wish to give this last one the same as you? Or am I not free to do as I wish with my own money? Are you envious because I am generous?” Isn’t it true that we often grumble because we say to ourselves or to others: “The bad people always make out better than the good people.” We forget that God is a generous Father. We don’t think that maybe these “last-minute” people shouldn’t be treated so fairly, and we feel slighted. Yet we forget that God sees things differently: maybe they need it more than we do. Maybe God is working to get them to awaken to His great love for them and so acts very generously to them. Think of how when Jesus was on the cross, gave the good thief Dismas eternal life just for recognizing Him as the Savior at his last moment of life. Yet the other thief kept grumbling and we never heard about him again. God is good, and His ways are not our ways. But His ways always benefit those who have and those who have not!

The Gospel of Mark is the first commentary from the Liguori Catholic Bible Study that I decided to study. In this lively and learned volume, American Presbyterian theologian Peter Leithart points beyond the reductionistic, historico-grammatical exegesis of modern hermeneutics toward a hermeneutics that is at once apostolic, patristic, medieval, and interdisciplinary.

First comes the acceptance by God to a share in the inheritance, as "heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ" (Romans 8:17); next, incorporation into the mystical body of Christ; lastly, the actual enjoyment of a share in the promise--that is, all the spiritual blessings of the covenant, called "promises" because, though real in themselves, they are only an earnest of the hereafter.

Alpha Pregnancy Center started in 1983 as a result of a group of pastors meeting to pray about the high rate of abortions in our city. As they prayed together, the Lord convicted them to offer His helping hand, love and compassion to women faced with an unplanned pregnancy. They started the Crisis Pregnancy Center in the basement of First Orthodox Presbyterian Church in the Sunset District of San Francisco. At the time they offered free pregnancy tests, pregnancy options counseling, and clothing to the women they served. The center continued to grow and they realized there might be a larger need in different neighborhoods, so in 2002 we secured a new location on Mission Street, in the Outer Mission District. At that time, our name was changed to Alpha Pregnancy Center.
As a result of that move and expanding our services, our daily client intake has more than tripled; allowing us to work with an average of 20 women a day. Our center has remained true to the original mission to protect life and offer the hope of Christ to families. In our years of service, we have seen that woman and families facing unplanned pregnancy have some very real challenges ahead of them. We are compelled to lovingly walk with them through these challenges. Therefore our services have greatly expanded. In addition to the pregnancy options counseling we started with, we now offer many needed supplies, education, case management and peer counseling to the woman and families served at Alpha Pregnancy Center.

I hope this post finds you well and in high spirits. I am pleased to announce that Come Back Christian Center had its first service at our new location. God is faithful and he will go before you. Just to think, I could not have ever imagined over a year ago, that I would be where I am at today. What a mighty God WE serve. We now have facilities that enable us to be true Kingdom builders. We welcome you to join us for Bible Study/Family night, held every Wednesday at 7pm and Sunday Worship Service held each Sunday at 11am.
I will leave you with this scripture; Mark 11:23-24 (NKJV) 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
The word tells us we can face AND conquer great difficulties by faith in God. Though, the challenges we face in life often seem like mountains that we cannot cross, ACTIVE faith in God is our strength to confront and move these mountains out of our way. Lastly, remember with obedient faith in God and dependence upon His will, prayer is effective and yields GOOD results.
Be encouraged. We hope to see you this week.
Pastor Rodney Andrews
