Greetings from Gainesville, Florida

Are we brought to the point in our lives where we know crucifixion?
Experience it.
Has Jesus brought it to us,
so that we know it in truth.
Are we living it?
Is this the cross?
Is this what we see and do?
Now this is truly further up and further in.
Have I known this?
Have I possessed it fully?
Could I do this without Jesus?
No, I could not.
Jesus is who I follow.
Can His leading be excruciating?
Yes, absolutely.
What does He say?
Matthew 16:24 KJV
Then said Jesus unto his disciples,
If any man will come after me,
let him deny himself,
and take up his cross,
and follow me.

Shalom L'Hitraot,
Ephraim

Greetings from Gainesville, Florida A time for every season. On this journey of mine into the unknown, I have gained a confidence that all is well and will be well. It is the unknown because of who I follow. I have  a deep-seated contentment withal knowing this,   because He has always been there for me and always will be. Matthew 7:24-25 KJV 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Greetings from Gainesville, Florida All in order. Ready to go. All is on stop. Greatest thing going is dinner tonight. Bar-B-Que. Sweet Potato, Zucchini and some, but not much, left over green peas. Grounded to a dead halt. But then there is this blog, wherein I say: Philippians 4:13 KJV I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Yes, that is true. And for me will always be true. I listened to Erika Kirk last night speaking at Ole Miss Turning Point USA. If any body politic has the go in this society today, it's Turning Point USA.  This is a body in wreck less abandon rejoicing in the Lord, that cannot and will not be stopped. It reminds me of my father-in-law's beagle pack set to chasing rabbits. What enthusiasm those beagles had. First one, then another picked up the scent of a rabbit. Oh, how they howled and growled. Would to God. The Church of Jesus Christ. The Holy Catholic Church would be as those beagles. Everywhere and in every circumstance stand up and ...

Greetings from Gainesville, Florida Easy and sweet. Quiet and secure. No pressure. What to do with the day? Waiting on the Lord. Back off. No direction. At peace.  Philippians 4:7 KJV And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. At the precipice of eternity. Not yet. Love to share. Much love. Nothing else has any meaning. John 4:16 KJV And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Shalom L'Hitraot, Ephraim
