... seek first the kingdom (of God) and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Matthew (6:33-34)

Think About It! After seeing the Movie "The PASSION"! There is such reality here!

For GOD so loved the world that HE gave HIS only begotten SON, that whosoever (means YOU) believeth in HIM should not perish but have everlasting life JOHN 3:16

I am forwarding to you a newsletter I receive from Steve Malts of saltshakers.com. It is a messianic site with many educational materials for Jewish people and their quest to understand who Jesus is. What I find interesting is how they address whether "The Passion of the Christ" movie is anti-semetic or not. Their explanation of who really killed Jesus is - that the only person who can be held responsible for the crucifixion is God Himself, on behalf of all mankind.

I agree that we all killed Him with our sins, but God permitted it and required it. It wasn't the fault of the Jews. If they had agreed to let Jesus go instead of Barabas, God would have had to find someone else that would put Jesus to death. The debt needed to be paid. the Jews were preordained to be part of the solution, so we really could be thanking them!!

I believe the site can be very useful for all kinds of info re how to speak to our Jewish brothers on many issues.

So much being said these days about "The Passion of the Christ". Here's one more link you might like to include. "It speaks to the very DNA of our spiritual identity as Christians" and I believe the same holds true for not-yet-Christians. Their DNA is the same as ours! They just don't know it - yet. ... Ta.

Thus ZENIT, "The World Seen From Rome," takes another step to offer qualitative and objective news coverage of events and documents of interest for the life of the Catholic Church.

We hope to carry out our mission, following the teachings of the Holy Father who invites us to "proclaim and share with joy the Good News" (Papal Message, 1992 World Day of Social Communications).

THIS IS ONE OF THE NICEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL USES OF THE ALPHABET THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN. I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I DID. HAVE A GOOD DAY!

Whoever came up with this one must have had some divine guidance, I was impressed

Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain,
Continue in thanksgiving.
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard,
Fierce winds are bound to blow.
God is forever able.
Hold on to what you know,
Imagine life without His love,
Joy would cease to be.
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to thee.
Move out of "Camp Complaining".
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone.
Quit looking at the future.
Redeem the time at hand,
Start every day with worship,
To "thank" is a command.
Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky,
We'll run the race with gratitude
Xalting God most high.
Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...
Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!

"I AM too blessed to be stressed!" The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor. The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything. Love and peace be with you forever, Amen...
PS: GOD LOVES YOU...
