  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

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.

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.

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
