I Know. I Know.

I am flat wore out! Taxes! I know. I know. Shouldn’t have waited till April 11 to start them. Does it count that I gathered all the pertinent documents into one place all the year in 2012? Of course it does. It helped a lot today.  Even so the procedure was excruciating. But the worst is over!! :)

And as I type it is well into Thursday evening — I should be sleeping but I wanted to post a Friday morning hello to you.

Hello Friends!

I like Fridays. Don’t you?

I like Fridays because Fridays are one day till Saturday! And Saturdays are my favorite day of the week. I know. I know. That is not what a good Christian is suppose to say – Sunday should be my favorite day of the week. Well I do enjoy Sundays. I get to teach a Bible Class and actually ministering in JESUS name really is my favorite of all things and life is most beautiful when we do that every day!

However, Saturdays I usually get to spend with my hubby, just he and I – the only day of the week that we can sleep late, and then decide: what will it be – work or play or both? We can get as grimy and dirty working as we want and not be concerned about how we look or we can decide to play all day. Yep! Saturdays are my favorite!

So. Do you have a favorite day? Which one? And Why?

And JESUS said:

Matthew 11:

28 “Come to me, all of you who are struggling and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

Thank You, ABBA, for fun; just plain good wholesome light heart-ed fun. Thank You, JESUS. It is because of You that we have such times as these. Thank You. And I pray for refreshment and holy humor for all who gather here today – whatever day they happen to stop by. I love You LORD JESUS. Thank You for loving me. And one more light heart-ed request give my treasured friend Bev a very happy happy birthday. Thank You, ABBA.

It is Sunday evening as I type these words. Our Soul Detox study is complete. Now what?

Where to now with THE WHITE STONE or more affectionately known by long time friends – IDOK Devotions?

Our Home page says THE WHITE STONE is A Gathering Place for Christian Devotions and Prayer. And so we are. Can we be more? Is there a need to be more? Is there a need to be less? Shall we ponder those a while?

A Bible exercise this morning. I trust you will play along. Please read the following (redacted for ease of reading) Text and list the similarities and differences then and today when we gather for corporate worship.

Nehemiah 8 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

1 all the people gathered with one accord in the open space in front of the Water Gate and asked ‘Ezra the Torah-teacher to bring the scroll of the Torah of Moshe, which Adonai had commanded Isra’el.
2 ‘Ezra the cohen brought the Torah before the assembly, which consisted of men, women and all children old enough to understand. It was the first day of the seventh month.
3 Facing the open space in front of the Water Gate, he read from it to the men, the women and the children who could understand from early morning until noon; and all the people listened attentively to the scroll of the Torah.
4 ‘Ezra the Torah-teacher stood on a wood platform which they had made for the purpose; beside him on his right stood . . . .
5 ‘Ezra opened the scroll where all the people could see him, because he was higher than all the people; when he opened it, all the people rose to their feet.
6 ‘Ezra blessed Adonai, the great God; and all the people answered, “Amen! Amen!” as they lifted up their hands, bowed their heads and fell prostrate before Adonai with their faces to the ground.
7 The Levites . . .  explained the Torah to the people, while the people remained in their places.
8 They read clearly from the scroll, in the Torah of God, translated it, and enabled them to understand the sense of what was being read.

Blessings Friends + + +

ABBA, thank You for the privilege of reading Your Word and sharing it here in this forum. I pray we will have eager hearts to read, to hear, to pray and to obey. I pray for each one who gathers at this screen to read and to pray that, HOLY SPIRIT, You will encourage them, will give them answers to the questions they have and the quandaries they face; I pray You will strengthen them in their love for You and their trust in You. I pray You will heal their diseases and prosper their homes and their families as they seek You with their whole hearts — and me too, ABBA, in the Mighty Name of YESHUA, our Savior and coming King.  And in particular I pray for Leslie’s recovery and steady gaining of strength and practices for health; Kerri – always holding her up before You and Dylan too; Dori – she blesses me so, broaden her boundaries I pray; and I pray for those whose names I am not privy to but who are held close in the hearts of our Readers here; that You will make them whole, LORD JESUS. Amen and amen.
