It’s about that time.
When even the world gives a nod of mention to the CREATOR GOD who came to this earth to redeem the likes of us.

Palm Sunday
Good Friday
Resurrection Sunday

Good Friday
Will we give more than a nod of recognition to the arrest, the torture, the trial, the nailing to the stake, the darkness, the pouring out of wrath, THE DEATH of the One and Only GODMAN?
Who will even read the account written in Scripture?

Resurrection Sunday.
HE who was dead – ALIVE AGAIN and forevermore alive and we defile the remembrance of that indescribable happening with eggs and baskets and bunnies or anything but faces turned to Him with hands raised in adoration and soul and body surrendered to Him as SAVIOR and LORD?
Oh, how wretched to participate in idolatry!

I was there too some years ago but praise Him, praise Him He continues to deliver the likes of me!
You too?

This all started with today’s YouVersion Verse of the Day. img_1372-1 When I read it I began to think of all the goings on that will be going on this coming week. Today we remember Palm Sunday. There was rejoicing on that first Palm Sunday and by the end of the week there was mob rule.
And today? Well, that’s the reason for the foregoing. Holy hugs, Kathie

2024, A Quick Hello, For Fun

A Late-Evening Spin

10 Mar 2024 Kathie Whitestone Thompson Leave a comment

I have just enough IT knowledge to get me into trouble.
I opened my browser on my phone tonight and was rudely told I must click OK because my phone was subject to hackers — no kidding!
The screen offered no options, and no other tabs could be opened — just OK.
These hackers were insistent! Not even a reboot of the phone sent them packing. They continued to insist that I click OK. And I was just as insistent that I would not!

What did I do? I deleted the browser. I didn’t know what else to do.
I told you I have just enough IT knowledge to make it difficult for me from time to time.

Then, I reinstalled my favorite browser and perhaps you can guess — all my bookmarks were gone.
My phone and my laptop were no longer synced. The device listings were there but no connection.
Color me sad and scared.

Settings!
Check settings.
Check Sync.

Still no connection.

Delete the sync chain?
Are you kidding me?

No. Delete the Sync chain.
Okay . . . well, look at that a new sync chain and BOOKMARKS!
I am hoping HOLY SPIRIT will use this little late-evening spin of mine to make a real connection with someone.

Sometimes deleting what you are afraid to delete will get you just what you want.
As long as what you want does not violate Scripture, of course.

Good Night & Holy Hugs, Kathie

Spring forward.
Here’s what it means to me, 1 less hour of sleep tonight, and the sun will be at just the right angle again to blind me when I head across the Bay to work next week. 132827584_web1_springfo-3872634478

But it’s all good.

And here’s why.

I Thessalonians 5.

16 Rejoice at all times.
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
19 Do not extinguish the Spirit.
20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt,
21 but test all things. Hold fast to what is good.
22Abstain from every form of evil.
