Jesus


Jesus!
He is enduringly strong. He is entirely sincere. He is eternally steadfast. He is immortally gracious. He is imperially powerful. He is impartially merciful. He is the greatest phenomenon that has ever crossed the horizons of the globe.

He is God’s Son. He is the sinner’s Savior. He is the captive’s Ransom. He is the Breath of Life. He is the centerpiece of civilization. He stands in the solitude of Himself.
He is august and He is unique. He is unparalleled and He is unprecedented. He is undisputed and He is undefiled. He is unsurpassed and He is unshakable.
He is the lofty idea in philosophy. He is the highest personality in psychology. He is the supreme subject in literature. He is the unavoidable problem in higher criticism. He is the fundamental doctrine of theology. He is the Cornerstone, the Capstone, and the stumbling Stone of all religion. He is the miracle of the ages.
He discharges the debtors. He delivers the captives. He defends the feeble. He blesses the young. He serves the unfortunate. He regards the aged. He rewards the diligent. He beautifies the meek.
He is the key to knowledge. He is the wellspring of wisdom. He is the foundation of faith. He is the doorway to deliverance. He is the pathway to peace. He is the roadway to righteousness. He is the gateway to glory. He is the highway to happiness.
He supplies strength to the weary. He increases power to the faint. He offers escape to the tempted.
He sympathizes with the hurting. He saves the hopeless. He shields the helpless. He sustains the homeless.
He gives purpose to the aimless. He gives reason to the meaningless. He gives fulfillment to our emptiness. He gives light in the darkness. He gives comfort in our loneliness. He gives fruit in our barrenness. He gives heaven to the hopeless. He gives life to the lifeless!
He guards the young. He seeks the stray. He finds the lost. He guides the faithful. He rights the wronged. He avenges the abused. He defends the weak. He comforts the oppressed. He welcomes the prodigal. He heals the sick. He cleanses the dirty. He beautifies the barren. He restores the failure. He mends the broken. He blesses the poor. He fills the empty. He clothes the naked. He satisfies the hungry. He elevates the humble. He forgives the sinner. He raises the dead!
His office is manifold, and His promise is sure. His life is matchless, and His goodness is limitless. His mercy is enough, and His grace is sufficient. His reign is righteous, His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.
He is indestructible. He is indescribable. He is incomprehensible. He is inescapable. He is invincible, He is irresistible. He is irrefutable.
I can’t get Him out of my mind… And I can’t get Him out of my heart. I can’t outlive Him… and I cant live without Him.
The Pharisees couldn't stand Him but found they couldn't stop Him. Satan tried to tempt Him but found he couldn't trip Him. Pilot examined Him on trial but found he couldn't fault Him. The Romans crucified Him but found they couldn't take His life. Death couldn't handle Him, and the grave couldn't hold Him.
He had no predecessor, and He will have no successor. He is the Lion, and He is the Lamb. He is God, and He is Man.
He is the seven-way King: He is the King of the Jews…that’s a racial King. He is the King of Israel…that’s a national King. He is the King of righteousness…that’s a moral King. He is the King of ages…that’s an eternal King. He is the King of heaven…that’s a universal King. He is the King of glory…that’s a celestial King.
HE IS THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS!
HE IS ALIVE! JESUS IS ALIVE! JESUS IS ALIVE IN MY HEART! I PRAY THAT HE IS ALIVE IN YOU!

He is so cute



A Dear Friend in Need of Prayer Support

I received a phone call from Mark Brizendine on Tuesday evening. He was on his way to his Mother's house to tell her that her son had just drowned. Mark and Barbara and the rest of the family are devastated in the loss of this young 19 year old. Mark was very close to his younger brother having functioned more like his dad. Please join me in praying for this family as they go through the visitation this evening and the funeral tomorrow afternoon.

Great Family Trip

We all got our turns with Zion!Jonathan and Zion enjoyed getting acquainted
It was soooo good to see our kids again
Gary and I went for a walk in a park in LA
then went to eat at Fiesta Mexicana and were pleasantly surprised by a very good Mariachi band!
We enjoyed eating out with the kids...we do both look happy!
We had fun and silly times on the downtown streets of San Diego
I loved watching Jeremy and Tricia in the role of parenting
We spent several hours on the beach for Father's Day. Yep, I did not use sunscreen and yep, I am burned! The three boys spent quite some time playing Frisbee!

They all had fun in the water!

We went on a strange hike!
And spent quite a bit of time in Balboa Park
It was a delight to watch the boys making this an unforgettable Father's Day. It means so much to see my husband thoroughly enjoy our sons.
