Back in Jewish times when a man wanted to marry a woman he and his father would travel to the girl’s house and sit down with her and her father and they would start negotiating the price for the bride. If they agreed the father would hand the son a cup of wine and the son would look at the girl and offer the cup to her and say, “I offer you this cup, what he is saying is I love you and I give you my life will you marry me”. She now has the chorus to say yes or no. If she says yes and drinks it she’s saying, “I accept your life and I love you I give you mine as well”. So, when Jesus holds the cup up and says, “This is the cup of the new covenant in my blood which is poured out for you”, When he drank of it, he’s saying I love you all, I am giving you my life, will you give me yours as well. As we drink the cup, we say Jesus I accept your life that you laid down for me and I give you mine.
When Jesus was on the cross, he said it is finished I always thought it was because of all the suffering and the pain he endured he could not last any longer. But it is finished is a Greek term (Telestai). In business it meant your debt in paid. In judicial it was your time that had been served. In military it meant the war had been won. When Jesus said it is finished, he was saying your battle is won and all the debt for your sins has been paid.
The custom of that time was a folded cloth that was tied to a relationship between the master and the servant. When the master finished his meal, he would crumble the cloth and toss it onto the table signaling I am finished. But if he left the cloth folded it meant I will return. When Jesus rose from the dead the cloth that covered his face was found neatly folded and carefully placed at the head of his tomb. Jesus was sending a powerful message. He didn’t just rise from the dead, but he also promised to return.

I have always celebrated Dec 25th as the birth of Jesus and now on Dec 23rd because last year in the operating room at Grand Strand I started to bleed out. But GOD said my work here on earth was not finished and sent me home. I do not speak to GOD and haven’t in several years. Speaking to him is like talking to an answering machine. However, I talk to GOD several times a day like I would an old trusted friend. I didn’t ask GOD for a miracle but just some relief. If GOD didn’t give us problems, how would we know he can solve them. With understanding and patient from Jerris and with Jesus walking with me we are making this journey one day at a time. Everyone is going through some difficulties that we can’t see. Charlie Chaplin once said (no I was not there when he said this) “I love walking in the rain because no one can see my tears”. Never allow hardship to stop you from following Jesus.
When I was young, I had a habit where I would judge a person by their name. Certain names meant you were more important than someone else and I eventually outgrew it. Now many years later I started doing it again. I am judging people by their name. The most important name I know is FRIEND. I am so fortunate to know so many people with that name. Thay have been here planting seeds of kindness that has bloomed in ways you may never fully see.
Jerris and I hope that the blessing of the holiday season be with you throughout the year.

Remember: A stranger is just a friend you haven’t met.

The true value of the cross lies in its meaning. Some people wear the cross as jewelry or an emblem of faith. The cross is not a magical charm but a constant reminder of Jesus’s sacrifice and love. It is a symbol of hope and redemption, but it’s not always been this way. The cross has not always been the cornerstone of our faith.

During the time of Jesus, it was a symbol of death, shame and a curse. When Jesus was condemned to die it wasn’t just a death sentence it was meant to break his spirit. When Jesus went to the cross, he didn’t go because he was forced but he went willingly showing victory over sin and death. The cross became the greatest act of mercy, where Jesus took on the punishment of my sins, why he loved me I will never understand. Jesus took on the cross knowing that through his sacrifice we would be offered forgiveness and eternal life. His last words were “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.” He pleaded for the salvation of those who have crucified him.

We all have a “cross to bear”, but nothing like the cross Jesus had to endure. Our cross might be from a relationship, something financial, the loss of a loved one or health. When Jesus carried his cross Simon helped shared the burden. We do not have to bear our cross alone, Jesus helped me with mine and he will help if you just ask him.

Jerris and I hope everyone has a blessed EASTER

Our Dream is that people will keep their pets for LIFE, and spay and neuter so that more are not born

Samuel Oct 2015 / January 16, 2025
We rescued Sam 8 years ago and he lived in our shelter. Around four years ago he started having seizures and was put on medication twice a day. It has been a long battle but he finally lost. We took him to the vets and as Jerris and I was by his side he had another seizure that took his last breath. We made him a promise that we would get a poor and lonely unloved dog whose life had held no joy or hope and give your place to him. We will give him your cozy bed, your food dish and water bucket. We promise to love him as much as we loved you. Our biggest promise to Sam was that he could run and play all day long and someday we would meet again at Rainbow Bridge.

Hi my name is Panda and I was adopted to a teacher right before Christmas . I was wondering who was going to educate who???

God tried all down through history to tell us what he wanted us to know and he sent his prophets and his teachers and they tried, We got part of it. We got the part about GOD’s justice and his law. We got the part about when we do bad things we somehow have to pay. But the part that GOD really wanted us to know, the part that says, “OH, HOW I LOVE YOU” we weren’t getting that, were we ?
GOD seemed so far away. But before time began, GOD had a plan and he said, “I know what I’ll do. I’ll send my love right down there where they are, where they can see it and touch it and know it. I’ll send it as a little tiny vulnerable baby, so they’ll have to touch it and they’ll have to hold it close. GOD’s love in a baby blanket in our arms.
The BIBLE says, “ The word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory. The glory of the only begotten father, full of grace and truth.”
The story of Christmas has been told a lot of ways. There was this prediction about how the offsprings of King David and Soul and Solomon would come.
How like GOD to send an ordinary baby. How like God to choose to limit himself to our bodies, our language and our time and space.
How like GOD when we were so broken and guilty, to choose to walk with us and touch us and make us whole.
The greatest gift we can give GOD is our love, not only to him but to our fellow man.
Jerris and I hope everyone will have a blessed holiday.
