HATS OFF!!

 For there is no partiality with God.  Romans 2:11 (NKJV)

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Those of us who believe the Bible as authentic truth and the final authority,  also believe that all humankind came from our first parents, Adam and Eve.  That should mean that there are not different races...only one human race.  Within the human race are different cultures and traditions.  

The part of the Declaration of Independence which includes "all men are created equal" has not been a reality for black and brown people.  As a result, many groups continue to push for recognition, acceptance, and respect. Different does not mean inferior.   

The month of November has been proclaimed as National Native Americans Heritage Month by President Joe Biden to highlight their identity, culture, languages, etc. "Native" because they were already here well before this land was  supposedly "discovered".   Hats off to our brown brothers and sisters. 

Sometimes America is described as a "melting pot" meaning that the country is made up of many cultures.  If one is preparing homemade chicken noodle soup, there are other ingredients in addition to the chicken necessary.   One's recipe may require different spices, and other ingredients, but only when combined do we get a flavorful chicken noodle soup. 

Wouldn't it be awesome and Christlike if those of us in the body of Christ led the way? 

Blessings.

  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.                                                                                                   Genesis 1:1 , NKJV God has many "names"or "titles"that reflect His character and benefits. Today, I am focusing on Elohim, the God of Creation.  I was blessed to celebrate another birthday a couple of days ago, and my gift was to travel to another state with loved ones where the eclipse could be seen in its totality.  I saw the one locally in 2017, but that partial one paled by comparison to this one.    Photo by Mohamed Nohassi on Unsplash To say that it was awesome is such an understatement.  Visitors traveled from as far west as California, and there were some who were French speaking from who knows where.  I am seldom at a loss for words, however, this was an exception.  Seeing God's creation on full display as it went though the various phases was awe inspiring and caused me to tear up.  The change i

PASSION WEEK/HOLY WEEK

Image
No one can take my life from me.  I sacrifice it voluntarily.  For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again.  For this is what my Father has commanded.  John 10:17-18 (NLT)    This season is one of the most consequential & unforgettable periods of time in Christiandom.  A painful time which ends triumphantly! Passion Week or Holy Week began on Palm Sunday and continues to Resurrection Sunday/Easter.   Jesus, motivated by His love for us and desire to redeem us, suffered unbelievable torture and humiliation to pay our sin debt.   He who was without sin. * It is called Passion Week because Jesus was motivated by His passionate love for us and desire to provide a path back to a restored relationship with the Father through Him.  The Father loves me because I sacrifice my life so I may take it back again. (John 10:17) .  He accomplished it through His suffering, death, and resurrection.  Those of us who are followers of Christ should always fe
