Love

 1 Corinthians 13

1 I may speak the languages of humans and angels.  But if I don't have love, I am a loud gong or a clashing cymbal.  2 I may have the gift to speak what God has revealed, and I may understand all mysteries and have all knowledge.  I may even have enough faith to move mountains.  But if I don't have love, i am nothing.  3 I may even give away all that i have and give up my body to be burned.  But if I don't have love, none of these things will help me.
4 Love is patient.  Love is kind.  Love isn't jealous.  It doesn't sing its own praises.  It isn't arrogant.  5 It isn't rude.  It doesn't think about itself.  It isn't irritable.  It doesn't keep track of wrongs.  6 It isn't happy when injustice is done, but it is happy with the truth.  7 Love never stops being patient, never stops believing, never stops hoping, never gives up.
8 Love never comes to an end.  There is the gift of speaking what God has revealed, but it will no longer be used.  There is the gift of speaking in other languages, but it will stop by itself.  There is the gift of knowledge, but it will no longer be used.  9 Our knowledge is incomplete and our ability to speak what God has revealed is incomplete.  
10 But when what is complete comes, then what is incomplete will no longer be used.  11 When I was a child, i spoke like a child, thought like a child, and reasoned like a child.  When i became an adult, I no longer used childish ways.  12 Now we see a blurred image in a mirror.  Then we will see very clearly.  Now my knowledge is incomplete.  Then I will have complete knowledge as God has complete knowledge of me.
13 So these three things remain: faith, hope, and love.  But the best one of these is love.

The Messiah Comes

 My friends, brothers, and sisters.  Shalom.  JESUS is truthful.  JESUS saves.  JESUS is our Lord, Savior, and Friend.  He fulfilled the law.  So, that we will not be judged, you see by the law, but we will be judged by the Blood of JESUS.  The blood saves us, and makes us clean, before the Father.  We need to believe in JESUS to be saved.  Each of us will give an account to GOD.  BUT when we call on JESUS we will be saved.   I feel like I am in a prison, of hostility from a certain person.  I consider this, my thorn in the side.  For some reason, they will not even let me apologize.  I must honor this, because I said, "Thy will be done".  Never tell a woman, this.  Because there is a false teaching going about, that women do not need a savior- do not need JESUS.  Let me tell you, that JESUS went to women- if women did not need JESUS, He would not have gone to the woman at the well.  JESU...

Wear Masks and Social Distance

 Hi.  I am worn out like everyone else.  But we need to keep going.  We need to continue to wear masks and social distance.  These are the safety measures provided us to make it through the COVID pandemic.  The CDC is the authority yes, but that authority has already taught us what we need to do in order to make it through the pandemic. I woke up this morning and felt compelled to write "continue to wear masks and social distance". Over Memorial Day weekend.  My brother and two sisters went to San Marcos for the weekend.  I think they had a  nice adventure.  The first picture they showed on there Facebook, it looked like nothing was there.  But as they went along they showed pictures of the river, and more than one coffee place.  William, Elizabeth, and Meagan have several portrait photos of themselves.  They were smiling and happy.
