Perhaps because the Gospels centered on the result and impact of the crucifixion of Jesus. But in Psalm 22 we can see the gruesome nature of the crucifixion and the personal suffering of Jesus.

The darkness has been called light Murder of children is now a right Pornography covers like a blight Government steals peoples right 9/26/2020  

There is so much to pray about and I cannot see what is now and what is needed for the future. So I pray Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  

Children disappear and we do not care Children are sold and we do not care Children are raped and we do not care Children murdered and we do not care Why don’t we care? 10/13/2020  

I pray for those who are fighting so many fires across the west coast. So many fire fighters and citizens have died or been seriously injured. So many have lost all. Those with homes are now homeless. Hundreds of thousands of acres decimated with some of the largest fires in California’s history. At the same time cities are burning with fire and hatred. The evil one laughs at our stupidity of burning ourselves to hurt others like those who burn themselves with the fire of ignorance. More of those of the darker hue have been killed in the rioting than by police. At the same time children of the darker hue are killed by gangs of those of the darker hue killing off their future as well as now. The evil one laughs at us! At you! If we turn from the hatred of the evil one to the forgiveness of God we are lost and all we know will burn. The evil one’s who buy brisks and matches are so stupid to think they will gain power and be safe. Listening to satan they are foolish thoug

The last weeks have been a nightmare of pain. The pain has overcome the tired weariness. It was not where it hurt but hurting everywhere. Minutes become hours and hours become days. I must do anything to get my mind off the pain. Cheesy old movies and listening to audio books. They keep part of me from feeling the pain. I cannot do, I cannot think and I am not here. The pain will slake soon and I will get rest. But how long till it comes and strikes again? I can do nothing but wait to feel it coming on. Like a large wave it will come smashing in. But the worst is the undertow ripping me. Ripping all from me and leaves me – not. 10/13/2020  

December 21 ““ And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS.” (Luke 1:31 NKJV) The humanity of Jesus is revealed by being conceived in Mary’s womb just as every human child is. But Mary realized the danger of being seen as an unmarried mother. She could be stoned to death and her child would be an outsider even among their own people.

This is the first day of October of 2020 and most of the year has been hatred, rioting and destruction. We will not talk to each other and think we cannot.
