As I sit to write, it is August 19, 2025. 
Today, Facebook brought back a four-year-old memory. 

Today, a devotional reading told me GOD’s command to me is to Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. 

Now you will not read this little piece of writing until tomorrow or even some uncertain day to come — will the message be the same?  Will GOD still mean what He said 2,000 years ago – Matthew 28? I reckon He will!!

16 Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had designated. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted.18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”  source 

So, now I am wondering, you who are reading this right now – yes, you.  Has anyone ever told you about JESUS, or if you prefer, YESHUA?
Do you know His Story?
If not, do you want to know His Story? 
I’m just wondering how many people in the world have not heard that JESUS is,  just how many people do not know HE is the Savior? And just how many people actually care to know.  
Do you wonder that too? 

Let me ask again,  have you heard that JESUS is The CHRIST – The Savior and that He is willing to save YOU?  
One other question — do you reckon you need to be saved? 

Actually, I am more than wondering; I am willing to tell you what I know about JESUS if you are hungry to hear.  
A song I heard on Sunday, in part, gave these words: Come home, come home
You who are weary, come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, O sinner, come home…
You who are weary — and I thought maybe that’s why the altar is so bare, people are not yet weary of the burden of their sin. 

It is my earnest prayer that people become weary of their sins — because this I know, when they get weary, JESUS is ready to lift, cleanse, and save!

I reckon that’s all for now —

Eucatastrophe 

A eucatastrophe is a sudden turn of events at the end of a story which ensures that the protagonist does not meet some terrible, impending, and very plausible and probable doom. The writer J. R. R. Tolkien coined the word by affixing the Greek prefix eu, meaning good, to catastrophe, the word traditionally used in classically inspired literary criticism to refer to the “unraveling” or conclusion of a drama’s plot. For Tolkien, the term appears to have had a thematic meaning that went beyond its literal etymological meaning in terms of form. In his definition as outlined in his 1947 essay “On Fairy-Stories”, eucatastrophe is a fundamental part of his conception of mythopoeia. Though Tolkien’s interest is in myth, it is also connected to the gospel; Tolkien calls the Incarnation of Christ the eucatastrophe of “human history” and the Resurrection the eucatastrophe of the Incarnation.  source

Acts 4: 33 And with great ability and power the apostles were continuously testifying to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace [God’s remarkable lovingkindness and favor and goodwill] rested richly upon them all.  source

May our what we see as pending catastrophes be transformed into eucatastrophes by The Living Christ!
