Razzle dazzle love

Connecting the old and the new through the sequence   1 . 13,  and we are loving it.

Perhaps we can figure this one out.  In heaven, how many aborted babies divided by how many barren women.   Be my guess that they are each going to have ten to twenty children apiece - but with no trouble attached!  Their children, their joy, will be fully grown.  Talk about heaven.

Many threads

It has been said that this life is like a tapestry viewed from beneath,  and that when our journey is complete we will see the other side.  Many threads coming together for God's glory.

We studied Glory at Monday night's men's group.   Thread one - we shared the first reference to glory in my ESV concordance - Exodus 24:16.   Exodus 24 was my 'random' for this morning.  Time to blog again.

Thread two - sitting with brother Bill who was the impetus for starting this blog.

Thread three -  the group was studying the chapters of John that are surrounding the last supper.

Thread four -  with a full reading for Exodus 24 - there is a picture of the Lord having supper with his followers in heaven.  Wow!

There are more threads,  but right now I'm just taking in the glory!  

Joanna might claim that my posts are cryptic -  and she'd be right!   Studying the first blog post it took me a while to realize that I was pointing out that

1 Timothy 4:4

is the reason we can claim that bacon is acceptable as food.  (and don't forget Acts 10:15 and Acts 15:20).  Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

Signs

Today's 'Random' is a sign.  Call it a Burma Shave day.  Can you see it?  What are the odds?

Courageous

The answer to the question net or gross.

And gazing at him, all who sat in the council saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

Do you have eyes to see?

The yokes on us

Have you ever seen a double yoke?

Today's random was all about yokes.

Ambassadors For Christ

 From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer.  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.  The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.  All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;  that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.  Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.  For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Happy New Year

 God is our refuge and strength,
   a very present help in trouble.

Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.
