Good morning ☀️🌞
I struggled today at finding the “right” translation of the verse below. I resorted to the King James Version. The scriptures make the point that we all stumble at times, but God does not cast us away. He continues to love us and is always waiting with open arms. That, my friends, is good news for us sinners.
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholdeth him with His hand.” Psalm 37: 23-24 (KJV).

Greetings 👋
Here’s a word for Christian activists and others to ponder. What would our lives be without law and law enforcement?
“Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended.”
Romans 13: 1-3 (NIV).

Here’s the latest Nashville OutRage map. Fortunately, the weather has warmed. We might learn exactly how many list their lives because of the gross negligence. #NES #Nashville
Does reading these verses bring you joy or angst? I see them as an invitation for self reflection. What about you?
“Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.
What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.”
Matthew 16: 24-27 (NIV).
