Outcasts

I read a portion of Luke 19 this morning; the place that says Yeshua entered Jericho and was passing through and I had some weird thoughts even for me. 

I wondered if JESUS thought of Rahab, his great, great, great – ever how many greats it was Grandmother.
You know the story, right?
The spies came to check out the city prior to the marching around it and the ram horn blowing that GOD used to bring down the walls of that very strong city.
Do you also remember that Rahab and her family were spared because she had helped the spies? 
Would you like to read the account? Check out Joshua Chapters 2 and 6.

So I wondered if JESUS thought of her and the account of the walls of Jericho falling as He was entering the City. 

Strange. 
Or is it?

Rahab the Harlot as she is often called, converted.
She believed the WORD she heard about GOD and it was counted to her as Righteousness. 
And centuries later Yeshua went to Jericho and another Outcast believed. Luke 19:1-10

I also read an article entitled

Rahab – The Harlot in the Genealogy of Christ

if you are interested.

And there you have it – a bit of my wonderings as I was reading Scripture this morning.
Do you wonder things as you read Scripture? 

I hope you do. I hope as you read your Bible its pages open and you see and experience the people and the accounts provided for us so we may truly BELIEVE and no longer be Outcasts.

High Noon

I have a special thanks today. 
I remember the day. It was a Sunday, at Noon.
My Baby Girl opened her eyes to the light of day and let out a glorious cry! 
Red hair, blue eyes, chubby cheeks, ten toes, ten fingers, and an answer to my prayers. 

To this day she remains an Oasis to my soul. 

Talented, gifted, smart, discerning, caring, beautiful, and likely the most thankful person I know on the planet. 

Yes. I am giving thanks daily for a little bundle of joy named from Luke 24:50.

The carrot cake is on its way. :)

It’s a quiet, cloudy day here in LA.
Football commentary is streaming from the other room and JT is waiting for the real game to come on :) so I thought I’d say hello.
At this moment I don’t feel talkative — hard to believe, I know.  And it could change. :)

This week has slipped right by with much praying, some reading, and some video watching. 
I’ve even found some new-to-me people to watch this week as well as some long-standing favorites.
Presently we have abundant sources from which to gather information. I endeavor to spend more time listening to Biblical messages than other forms of information available at my fingertips.  I wonder how much time we have left to make these voluminous watching/listening decisions. 

Unpopular as it may be, with Scripture in view and world events popping, I and others are urging this: let us get our houses in order. 

Scripture has heretofore not been so easily understood as It is today. 
The unfolding of events foretold in Revelation is no longer a mystery. 
It’s here. The means and ways are here in place — we are waiting. 
And because we are waiting, some are sounding alarms. I am grateful for that. 
I confess for me, it is hard to watch the apathy.
It’s hard to watch what speaks of seared consciences. 
And as I sit with keyboard, viewing trees and beauty from my library window all looks right with the world; but I know nothing is right with the world.
And the wrong with the world is advancing rapidly. 

But it’s not all bad news. Really it’s not. 

But what of unrepentant sinners? 
And this is why we pray. And this is why we warn.

It’s not. 
Ask the Apostle Paul.  Click HERE.
You see ALL who have been born from above came to that rebirth on their own Damascus Road with JESUS. 
I urge you to lean in with GOD and allow your mind to revisit your Damascus Road.
See if you really are IN THE FAITH.
