I am in grief and seek you Lord; I am weak and weary of it all but you Lord are my strength; my eyes are worn from weeping; I put my trust in you.
Joshua 4
Passover at Gilgal; Joshua is in the presence of the commander of the army of the Lord and stood on holy ground
Romans 12
Be holy; be transformed by the renewal of the Spirit; don’t think of yourselves more highly than others; we are one body with many members; Let love be genuine – hate what is evil – hold fast to what is good; build the community; if possible live peaceably with everyone; help your enemies in all their needs; over come evil with good.

A Collect for the Renewal of Life
O God, the King eternal,
who divides the day from the night
and turns the shadow of death into the morning:
Drive far from us all wrong desires,
incline our hearts to keep your law,
and guide our feet into the way of peace;
that, having done your will with cheerfulness while it was day, we may, when night comes,
rejoice to give you thanks;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord. We pray today for the two killed and the two injured on Miami Street in St Louis, Missouri (USA) and the five injured in Warner Robins, Georgia on Wednesday being shot. Be with their families as they bury their dead. Heal those that were injured that they may recover to life and service. Heal our society so that love not violence is the common day. O Lord, hear our cry, that people stop shooting each other and walk the path of love together with your son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

  2024 Read the Bible in a Year April 2, 2024 Tuesday of Easter Week Readings for Today: Day 91 - 1 Chronicles 1:1 - 9:44 See the animated overview of the Chronicles above. Prayer: Loving God, dissolve the barriers of suspicion that divide us from one another. Fill us with your love that casts out fear. Clothe us in your light and grace, that we may be agents of hope and encouragement for those who despair and have lost their way. Help us each find our particular way to proclaim the good news of your saving love in our daily lives and work. We pray that our government and leaders at every level of authority may be strengthened to heal the structures that bruise your people. God, hear our prayers. Amen (All Saints Episcopal Church - Pasadena prayers - 27 Oct 2019 worship) Reflection:  Today’s reading is everything you wanted to know about the genealogy from Adam to the return of leaders from the Exile. It is interesting reading that we can directly follow God's work via each person

Parables - New Wineskins

Dear Friends, Grace and peace from our loving God. Let us pray … Kindle in our hearts, O God, the flame of love that never ceases, that it may burn in us, giving light to others. May we shine forever in your temple, raging set on fire with your eternal light, even your Son Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen A Celtic Liturgy - Morning Prayer, p. 21;  Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 2008, ed. Today’s Parable - Wineskins / Luke 5:37 Jesus in this scene is having a party with known sinners after the conversion of a tax collector. Some religious people are critical of this action. They point to the disciples of John the Baptist and whose piety is fasting and prayer and why is Jesus not doing it their way. Kendall points to this parable of Jesus as a calling of established and mature religious people to create themselves as new wineskins for new wine. (If you put new wine in old wineskins, it will explode because of fermentation.) The Holy Spirit constantly inspires and

2023 Bible in Time Introduction and Purpose in the coming time... Christ Pantocrator   mosaic  in  Byzantine style , from  Cefalù Cathedral  in  Sicily ,  Italy ,  c.  1130 Wiki Commons Images Pentecost 2023 16 June 2023 a.d. This year's blog will focus on discernment or seeking the work that God wants you to do after you say, "I believe". This is also known as discipleship or learning through God - Creator, Christ, and the One with us - what God is calling us to do in this world. Basically through prayer, reflection, listening, and being with a faith community finding out what God wants you to do and then doing it with God and the aforementioned. So it will be writings, sermons, prayers, bible study, and tidbits that hit me about this path and the way we are on. (See an example of this kind of seeking in the movie "The Way" with Martin Sheen. See Facebook postings or Google it.) So this blog might look more like a scrapbook of musings than a coherent formation
