It's a new day, a new year.
The 29th of Alul has come and gone------
But this day is not over yet.
We are in a "window" of fascinating times, September 11 to September 28.
I'm looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.
I admit that I am sad that Christ didn't come this past weekend. Aren't YOU???
If you aren't disappointed you'd most likely need to check your priorities. WE SHOULD ALL BE WATCHING!
Jesus WILL come, and as our pastor preached yesterday, Jesus IS God, and no one else can claim that.
There are gods and powers, and principalities, but there is only ONE GOD----YHWH, the Creator, Yeshuah HaMashiach, Savior. His word is truth, and when HE says He is coming, He is.
And we are to watch and wait.
Last night my husband and I started a new ministry. We visited a county jail. This is what we are committing our Sunday nights to, for the time being. I met with seven women, and we had a sweet time of fellowship. I'm looking forward to our next time together. One of the women will be out by then, but the others should be there. There's lots of turnover in the jail, and that's a good thing.
Sentences served, sentences filled.
In many ways we are all "serving sentences" and the big question is how to do it well, and come out of it with a greater capability to LIVE.
We talked about fear, about focusing on Christ, about brokenness. We sang songs and we prayed together.
I remember, "There but for the grace of God go I..."
If you feel prideful about your law abiding life you need to remember what you are in the eyes of God------a sinner. Lost, judged, condemned.
But by Christ's sacrifice you can be redeemed.
Believe today.
We have a young man, a good friend, from Germany visiting us this week. Lots of fun is planned!
So far we've been out to eat "American" and been to church. He got to visit our old house (which is empty, and still waiting for a new family to buy it!), and he went to a campfire with a bunch of young folks, friends of Margaret.
We walked out to the bee hives to stare at the Milky Way Galaxy last night. What a clear and beautiful starry night! Our friend, M, doesn't see the stars much for light pollution in Europe.
It's a beautiful day to visit the Mall of America, so that's where we're headed to shop and play mini-golf.
Wishes and More, the wish fulfillment organization which gifted Ed this past June, gave him free tickets to play the mini-golf course there at the Mall. We saved them for a special occasion, and we are using them with our friend from Munich!
It should be a fun day.
If the stock market crashes sometime soon (like today), don't worry. God holds you in His hands. This is a time to look up to Him for provision.
A few more things on the agenda for the week----a trip to Lake Superior, a Twins' game, and time at the Minnesota Historical Society museums, particularly the "Mill City Museum" in downtown Minneapolis.
Come join us!!
We have a fun week planned, and the weather looks promising.
It's beautiful this September.
I'm listening for the trumpets everyday!

Heads up, people!
