GAZA
The war in Gaza is heartbreaking due to the humanitarian crisis that is
ongoing. The ever present media coverage is disappointing! The bombed out
buildings will take time to rebuild. The disruption to social life is
permanent. The people in Gaza are refugees in their own homes, towns, villages
and cities. Jerusalem is a safe place to be a refugee. The holy city would not
likely be bombed!
Prayers 🙏🏽

Grace
Greetings!
Grace is ever present in our life, which is offered to us by God abundantly. The benevolence we share among each other is a testimony of love for creation and its salvation. Paul in the I Corinthian text calls us to worship as a means to strengthen our spiritual body in relation to God. We have much symbolic Christian art which competes with worldly distractions. You know how hard it can be to make up your mind. For instance we learn to work and continue that path in hopes of prosperity. That pattern to adhere to the right thing is favorable in our life.

Jacob
Genesis 32:22-31
Jacob received the Word of God by way of a Blessing. He struggled all night wrestling with the Spirit. This happened in Penuel, east of the Jordan River and south of the river Jabbok. Jacob claimed Peniel to be the place where he saw the Face of God, yet not destroyed! He also received a new name Israel, because of association with man and God.
Looks like something out of Africa doesn't it.

Nehemiah 2: 7-8
'If it pleases the king, may I have letters to the governors of Trans-Euphrates, to that they will provide my safe-conduct until I arrive in Judah? ... And because the gracious hand of God was on me, the king granted my requests.

Baptism
Jesus MAFA is a response to the New Testament readings from the Lectionary by a Christian community in Cameroon, Africa.
Jesus MAFA from Art in the Christian Tradition, a project of the Vanderbilt Divinity Library, Nashville, TN.

Gospel according to Matthew 3.3-17
John the Baptist was baptizing by water in the river Jordan. Jesus came from Galilee and requested that John baptize him. Shocked John claimed that Jesus should be baptizing him. John is persuaded by Jesus's claim to fulfill righteousness. Communities today would do well to include women and children while keeping governments and states afloat. Let us pray, the divide between have and have nots close in the name of righteousness!

Thanksgiving for a Good Harvest
23rd Sunday after Pentecost
PSALM 65
Praise is due to you,
O God, in Zion;
and to you shall vows be performed,
2. O you who answer prayer!
To you shall all flesh come
3. When deeds of iniquity overwhelm us,
you forgive our trangressions.
4. Happy are those whom you choose and bring near,
to live in your courts!
We shall be satsified with the
goodness of your house,
your holy temple!
5. By awesome deeds you answer us with deliverance,
O God of our salvation,
you are the hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas;
6. By your strength you established the mountains;
you are girded with might.
7. You silence the roaring of the seas,
the roaring of the waves,
the tumult of the peoples.
8 Those who live at earth's farthest bounds are awed by you signs;
you make the gateways of the mornings and the evening shout for joy.
9. You visit the earth and water it,
you greatly enrich it;
the river of God is full of water;
you provide the people with grain,
for so you have prepared it.
10. You water its furrows abundantly,
settling its ridges,
softening it with showers,
and blessing its growth.
11. You crown the year with your bounty;
your wagon tracks overflow with richness.
12 The pastures of the wilderness overflow,
the hills grid themselves with joy,
13. the meadows clothe themselves with flocks,
the valleys deck themselves with grain,
they shout and sing together for joy.
