A Thing of Beauty (Controversy)

There are two opposing views on the beauty of the Cross...one considers that it is NOT beauty, but ugly, horrifying death of torture and pain. The other view considers the crucifixion in another light and that's the thought of the cross after Jesus overcame death and was risen! It looks at the saving grace He provides for us. The first article (View 1) was read before our Lord's Supper Sunday. See what your view is:

View 2: Taken from Pastoral Meanderings (blog by Pastor Peters) "The Cross is Not Pretty"

Is it Good Luck?




I was reading an article about luck and how that having luck is not really how you should look at things. For someone who is a child of God, luck has nothing to do with it. You should see things as blessings from God whether or not you expected it or if it came as a complete surprise. God blesses His children and many times we have to wait on God, and accept His timing. God's answers are not always immediate. In Romans 8:28 we can read:

Romans 8:28

New International Version (NIV)
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

So the next time someone tells you "Good luck" or says you are "lucky" set them straight by sharing God and explaining that God is good.

95 Year Old Writes Song to Wife

Was very touched by the pure love and devotion of this 95 year old man. Such a touching story, you will be glad you took the time to hear it. It made me appreciate my husband all the more. I want to focus on making more "good times" to do all over again!
