Christ – mass

What to my wondering eyes appear

not a sleigh with eight flying reindeer


Bethlehem means a place of bread

and here is born heaven’s Bread


THE Child promised to Adam and Eve

God’s gift to those who will receive


A star through darkness shining bright

guiding those who come to THE Light


Shepherd’s astounded by heavenly choir

leave behind their sheep and warm fire


Mary and Joseph look at face of God!

Count toes and fingers of their God!


Shepherd’s join with others in awe

wondering if Child of hope they saw


Magi begin journey guided by the star

THE Child grows up as Magi journey far


Child walks on His Creation on tiny feet

the Magi arrive and their God do meet


More wondrous than Santa and reindeer

God as Child to redeem Creation is here!

September 3, 2017 Sunday             Even after a long Saturday I was able to go to Asbury and receive Communion and to worship my Lord and My Love.   We stayed for Sunday School and Peggy had a great lesson from Dr Kalas’ book Parables From the Backside Volume 2 .   A great class, a great teacher and a great book.               In the afternoon I tried to sleep but just was able to rest some.   VERY worn out by being so busy but it was good.   Bonnie remembers when we would visit Gramps, her grandfather; he would say that he would enjoy the memory of our visit for weeks.   Now I understand what he meant.   So many wonderful memories nourish me every day.

April 3, 2018 Tuesday “But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. Then they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.” Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there , and did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, “Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, an...
