ng into this world, His life, His death, His burial, and His resurrection. I chose Hebrews Chapter 13 to teach in my class. Having established Jesus as the fulfillment of all of God's prophetic words, His types and symbols, and the law and the rituals, the writer goes on to deal with practical living. In other words, since Jesus is the Christ and He did come and die for us and when we become His very own, then what? The then what has to do with our living out the children's song, 'If you are saved and you know it, then your life should surely show it!'. In our morning worship service we had a great musical presentation and our Pastor then shared thoughts on exactly what it meant for Jesus to pronounce from the cross the words, "It is finished."It was a wonderful day to be with God's people but our sharing time within my cla
ss made us all aware of the fragile nature of this life and the needs that we have. Different ones shared for fifteen minutes the hurts, illnesses, losses, challenges, and uncertain outcomes facing themselves or others near and dear to them. It could have been a downer for the day with so many heartaches and troubles being voiced, BUT, that's the hope we share in seeking our great God in our time of need. What a wonderful privilege we have in helping to bear one another's burdens as we seek to build each other up in the Lord. And, because our Savior lives, we can take all our cares directly into the throne room of God the Father, that we might find mercy in our time of need! Amen.

Amen.Sunday evening our family all gathered for a time of food and fellowship. We had some great homemade cooking, celebrated the 13th birthday of our K
yleigh, and enjoyed all being together, one more time. Believe me, it was a labor of love getting ready for this feasting time. We had our regular eighteen plus the friend who came with our eldest granddaughter. It was an unbelievable two hours of some of the greatest conversations, food, laughter, and sharing, and we always thank God whenever He allows us to all be together, one more time. Our grandchildren start at 20, then 17, 14, 13, 11, 9, 9, 7, 31 months, and 27 months. What we have in this group are ingredients that when mixed produce an explosion of
just about anything you might imagine. Some of the younger ones cried when they left because they felt like they didn't have enough time to enjoy playing. But Sunday ended Spring break and all needed to be in bed for their early wake up and back to school on Monday. After they were all gone, MiMi and I sat basking in the afterglow of the blessings God has poured out on us. What a Savior! What a day! And, what a way to start off a brand new week! Now we are off and running and seeking God's help as we desire to live out the life He has given to us! ....More later.
