Blessed.  Matthew 5.1-1

Last night I stopped on the way home from a long grueling day to get a bite to eat, and send out Morning Briefings. The shop owner came and sat down, inquiring about what I was writing. (Always happy to oblige that question!) After finding out my new friend is a Christian, I asked him what he thought about the Beatitudes. He had an interesting response—kinda…

WHO IS JESUS?

It all started when they came to their local San Clemente beach to see a longtime friend get baptized by his dad and me. I can see their two beautiful young faces so clearly in my mind . . . one dark, the other light; one had a strong football build, the other a tall, lean volleyball build; one has grown up in a Hindu household, the other a family who didn’t talk too much about God, didn’t believe in church either. Both were curious high school students, coming…

  :Do not let them depart from your eyes ( proverbs4:21 The key thought in this direction can be summed up in the word focus. With natural eyesight incorrect focus produces blurred vision and believe this is the problem with many peoples eyes unless we can focus our spiritual reality    Jesus said The light of the Body also full of light but when thine eye is evil is evil thy body also full of darkness. make me  LAMP stand to behold the Glory of the lord in heavenly places Amen  

The other day I was reading where someone had broken down each verse of Psalm 23 into different categories. I then had the desire to break it down into the different attributes & Names of God. Now, I'm not a theologian, Bible student or anything. I'm a simple woman with a Hebrew Concordance & a Bible. So, I may have a few names & attributes in with the wrong verses. Feel free to correct anything. I know I just had a great time doing this.…

Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads.

I've always believed these to be the 12 tribes & the 12 disciples. If this is the 12 disciples, who would be the 12th disciple? So, I began reading commentaries & read various interpretations. Man, did I open up a can of worms. Here are several of them.

1) 12 Tribes & 12 Disciples In this case, who would…

Calling and Purity—their relationship. Matthew 5.8

It is called plate spinning. You’ve seen it, right? Where a juggler gets one plate (and then another), spinning on the end of the pole, and just as sure as it appears that one plate will peter out and fall, the juggler keeps it alive, and soon there are four plates spinning! I love the visual, and it certainly fits—for me. On one spinning plate in my head, I have Jesus’ calling of his first disciples, on another plate, teaching on…

Jesus Calling. Matthew 4.18-25

Two sets of brothers about their daily business of fishing the Sea of Galilee. One pair on shore, the other pair in a boat, but both had the same reaction--they dropped what they were doing and followed Jesus when he called them. I have thought a lot about this before; what was it about Jesus that made them so immediately responsive, so much so that they left their livelihoods to go with him?1

This message from Jesus’ disciple, Andrew, one of the…

Strategically Placed. Matthew 4.12-17

It was not an accident that Jesus settled in the region of Galilee, setting up headquarters in Capernaum; it was strategic.

Where you live and work, who your neighbors are,

is no accident either—you are strategically placed.

Following Matthew’s account of…
