These 2

Blue Mk 13 & Matt 24

v8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows.

Mark 13 is about End Times. It's pretty much the same as what's in Matthew 24 with a few neat personality exceptions.

Jesus in Matthew 24 writes from the angle of systematic flow (then, then, and then), seeking to show you the whole picture by using details, examples, and word pictures.

Jesus in Mark likes to see you take responsibility and be personable so is always pointing people out, kind of like the "whodunnit" style but from a more positive basis. The writing of Mark 13 is angled around time frames, seasons, priorities, and higher authority.

24:1 Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple.
13:1 Then as He went out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, "Teacher, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!" (bet cha' it was Peter?)

24:3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?"
13:3-4 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?"

What is easy to love about Jesus is that these Words are in red yet Jesus didn't rise up against Mark to say how he should be doing it Matthew's way or rise up against Matthew to say how he should be doing it Mark's way. Jesus left enough room for each person to filter His Words through their spirit-filled personality so they were free to flow while knowing that Truth would still be told. What's neat is that clearly there are two different personalities between these two apostles and obviously they sat under Jesus to have heard the same exact message about endtime stuff but Jesus didn't accuse them of lying or twisting or of a failure to quote verbatim... because the Truth in Love knows that we are allowed to be a person while following an even greater Person, and that Person wouldn't be greater if He acted a jerk like that.

Hope

2010-03-10T04:55:00Z

Blue v1 Ch 1 1 Tim

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope.

There you have it, it's that simple, Jesus Christ is our hope... for more details read the bible, it's a really good book.

And after sitting here putting together the blog for tonight, this feeling of being very tired appeared, probably from getting that last round of Hep A&B shots earlier today for international travel; the first 2 rounds were given before leaving for Africa last October... which knocked me out then both times too! Anyhow, the blog meant for tonight will be given tomorrow, Lord willing, since today was another very busy day and now all i really want to do is go to bed... so see you hopefully tomorrow! Just kidding, it's most likely in God's plan not to make me disappear in the night, and i do realize tomorrow is promised to no man, but it's just easy to assume tomorrow will be here and everything will be just fine and flowing~

P.S. Hope starts with words. Words create pictures. Pictures create music... or so it seems~ See ya

Not Far From The Kingdom of God

2010-03-09T05:15:00Z

Blue v13-34 Ch 12 Mark

v13 Some Pharisees were sent to catch Jesus in His words, and as they approached Him they pretended to be on His side, pretending to be in support of Him... v14 "Teacher, we know that You do not regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth..." they acted nice but really were just wolves in sheep's clothing (Matt 7:15) "Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"

Jesus, knowing their hypocrisy said, "Why do you test Me?" v15 (These people were skilled in law so should have known what to look for since even the law talks about being moral, obedient, faithful to God... all of which Jesus was doing). When you get used to a certain way of doing something it is hard to change by doing something another way... People of today will test Jesus (Who is flowing out from His people through His Holy Spirit) by using 1 Jn 4:1 when they are unsure if it's really Him at work-

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Now the difference between being ignorant and not knowing what spirit it is, yet truly wanting to know while holding the belief that you will accept it if it is the truth, is a good reason or motive to test the spirit because indeed you want the truth. But here, these leaders tested because they thought they knew the truth so sought to expose what they thought was a lie, so only wanted Him to fall and get trapped in a lie, the lie they believed He was and operated in, so this wasn't really about the Truth at all, or about being ignorant of what the Truth was, but about what they did and did not want, and as hard as it may have been for them to receive the New Wine (faith & grace vs. law & sacrifices), its still not like Jesus didn't show them His forerunner John, who paved the way before Christ showed up by preaching the baptism of repentance and by telling people everywhere that One greater than himself was on the way; except these Pharisees had rejected John, probably for assuming to have already repented and were the skilled moral church leaders over the people. But listen to what Jesus tells this one bible-thumping scribe just after the man agrees with Jesus about what the two most important commands are to obey.

v34 Jesus says to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God."

This scribe was used to the law, used to church authority and position, but here in his answer he had shown faith, the first part of faith, which is to 'believe in' for now you must 'act on' that 'belief in' which becomes 1 Peter 1:9 and James 2:22, of which Jesus was referring to when He quoted v34 to this man. Listen to the man's agreement in verse 32-33

So the scribe said to Him, "Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He. And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices (law)."

Burnt offerings and sacrifices were the Old Testament way of serving God but now this scribe verbally agreed to the way of faith instead of law only which can't save the soul. The kingdom of God was not far from this man because already he could see the New Way of doing things... now he just needed to understand that it all comes through Christ Jesus, for once he did that he could start practicing 1 Peter 1:9 & James 2:22 ~Believing in Active Faith

2 Ways 2 Look @ it

2010-03-06T03:50:00Z

Blue v27-33 Ch 11 Mark

In an recent e-mail the subject line read: Most Important E-mail Sent Out To Date

Voice tone has a lot to do with how we interpret the meaning of what someone said but the 'To Date' part sounds like information; just a regular calendar date. So another way to comprehend this is to say, 'On March 5th, the most important e-mail that has ever been sent out...' Or, you can read the 'To Date' part as an action instead of as information by comprehensively reading from the angle of knowing that someone knows a lot about boy-girl dating and is giving some kind of suggestive releasing into action, to go ahead and date and within the e-mail you'll learn why. But how you chose to interpret matters after knowing how you want to respond.

Caught In Your Own Game~That's Funny!

v27-8 The chief priests, scribes, elders, came to Jesus because they wanted to know by what authority He was doing things and wanted to know who gave Him this authority- because obviously they didn't. But Jesus too knows well how to answer when being put on the spot so beats them at their own game... v29 I will tell you by what authority I do these things, after you answer My question (and if you answer then you'll get to know). v30 "The baptism of John-was if from heaven or from men? Answer Me."

They should have known something was wrong by the way they handled their answer~

v31 If we say from heaven Jesus will say why didn't you believe. v32 If we say from men, we can't because the people count John as a prophet and we have the fear of man so can't use that as an answer either. So we'll just lie and say, "We do not know (v33)." So Jesus gave them an eye for an eye style of ministry answer like they were used to and said, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things." And this way Jesus could help them reap what they sowed real fast, which was nothing, and keep all the confusion out since they didn't have a clue Who He was because had they known then the Holy Spirit Who brings all things into our remembrance (Jn 14:26) would have reminded that God doesn't bow His knee to the demands of fallen men, and so honestly, Jesus sincerely feed them on a level they were used to, knew, and understood, loving His neighbor as Himself, and since they didn't believe the people knew what they were talking about so showed disrespect toward their value and opinion about who John was, and since they didn't care about John's baptism of repentance, again showing no respect or value for their neighbor, who exactly were they really serving?

Yet in His Kindness, Jesus showed them a picture of themselves- nothing. It's a little funny because they thought they knew and could lead The Way. The other part ain't funny but i ain't talkin' about that part~ Just the comical part about the darkness trying to up-change Jesus when Christ can't even be overrun. It's funny~http://blog.cindypearman.com/2010/03/05/2-ways-2-look--it.aspx

Decisive

2010-03-05T02:35:00Z

Blue v12-24 Ch 11 Mark

v12 The night before, Jesus was looking for fruit on the fig tree, going up to check it and to see but, only leaves (v13). It wasn't the season for ripe figs but the spiritual point is that as people, we are to be instant in season and out of season (2 Tim 4:2), producing fruit from the Holy Spirit (Gal 5:22-23) so that whenever Jesus comes by to inspect our fruit we won't have to hear v14..."Let no one eat fruit from you ever again." Spiritual food is the Word... v2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. v3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; v4 and turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. v5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry (2 Tim 4:2-5).

v20 Morning had come and now Peter shows much expression as they come upon the cursed fig... you can tell by the way Peter said it that he was surprised it even happened, and that this is why Jesus responded the way He did to Peter because Jesus wasn't in doubt or unbelief when He made up His mind to curse the fig tree, He wasn't being tossed to and fro (Eph 4:14) between two opinions of, should He or shouldn't He, because He wasn't double minded (Jms 1:6-8), so Jesus meant what He said and knew that what He said would work.

v21 "Rabbi, look!" See how surprised Peter is. "The fig tree which You cursed has withered away."

Jesus realized Peter didn't really think it would work so says to Peter what he needed to do to change to become more like the (1 Cor 2:16) mind of Christ, "Have faith in God....say...don't doubt...believe that those things you say will be done... when you pray (present-tense), believe (past-tense) that you receive them, and you will have (future-tense) them." v22-24

Peace Temple

2010-03-04T04:11:00Z

Blue v1-11 Ch 11 Mark
v9 Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: "Hosanna! 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!'http://blog.cindypearman.com/2010/03/03/peace-temple.aspx

Jesus was getting ready to ride into Jerusalem where also He would go into the temple (v11). What's amazing is how these disciples had to trust Jesus by using childlike faith to obey. Would you feel comfortable going into another town only to take something that didn't belong to you? Then being questioned as to why you are doing this when you don't have any reason other than because the Lord said so. And what if they don't care about what the LORD said? Since you don't know if they serve God or not? So how comfortable are they going to make you feel once to learn you are not even from this town or own a home here? Then to see you carting off an animal they knew clearly had been there all day so couldn't possibly belong to you! Hmm, would play with my mind a little bit right before i obeyed the LORD.

Modern thinking would argue, "You want me to do what? Go into that town and there's just supposed to be some donkey there? And i'm just supposed to take it? Then tell whoever after being asked that You sent me? And i'm not going to go to jail for stealing? Or need to run from some crazy person that wants to chase me while i'm running off with his animal as fast as i can? Telling the "whoever" behind me some flaky Christian thing like, "God told me to do it?" Are you serious Jesus?! I thought Your yoke was easy and Your burden was light, and i thought that going to heaven wasn't about works, right?" Then right about the time some Holy Spirit conviction makes it's way to me, the new argument begins, "Why am i afraid to do what Jesus is asking?" Seeing clearly how the prideful excuses are hoping just to get out of it. Then a few memory reminders flash a few other times when it didn't work out so well for me after a similiar mind game. It begins to dawn on me that obedience cannot possibly be all that bad. For truly, the disciples merely did what Jesus said to do and it worked out just fine, the burden was easy, the yoke was light... all they had to do was listen to the instructions Jesus had given, no adding, no taking away~

You're Called

2010-03-03T04:04:00Z

Blue v49-52 Ch 10 Mark
Lots of Little Blue Buttons~My New 2010 Ford Escape

You're Called {v49 20th Century Translation}
Cheer Up
Get Up
Jesus is Calling You

Prophetic Declaration based on v50, 51, 52
Whatever you were wearing get ready to throw it aside to rise up into the new place in Jesus Christ; prepared to receive sight immediately from the faith present to make you well.

v52 ... And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.

There's no need to look back but following RED 7 is good since Red is symbolizing the Blood of Jesus and 7 is symbolizing completion, and here the true story is that Jesus died for all of our sins and after we receive true repentance with forgiveness so that we may grow up into Christ Jesus, we will be complete.

Sincere Serving

2010-03-02T02:24:00Z

  Blue v35-45 Ch 10 Mark

v41 And when the ten heard it...

~I can't believe you said that!?

Well... great that John can revelate and be the one that Jesus loves, and great that James is John's brother (1:19) and gets his fair share of divine input in the Word of God, but (v40) to sit on Jesus' right hand and on His left?

v41 ...they began to be greatly displeased with James and John.

Talk about healthy self esteem... you can tell they grew up with their biological father. This is something that is amazing because i never considered myself good enough to sit that close to Jesus and many times while reading this passage had thought how secure these guys were that they could even ask Jesus for such a high position of honor. I've never seen myself as being able to make Jesus look good and believed that if you sit that close then you should be able to do that since He is so honorable, but then after seeing that these guys grew up with their biological father, they had a healthy self-esteem and knew what it felt like to be loved and accepted, to matter to somebody who is really important so probably didn't think anything about asking Jesus if they could sit next to Him in glory (v37).

Although, the motive wasn't entirely pure because Jesus (v42-45) proceeds to correct them over position verses serving people, even using Himself as an example about how to serve when in a powerful position of authority. Basically, if you want to be great and powerful, then yield to interruption; listen to what someone else has to say; let them pick the music on the drive home; let the restaurant choice be there's without fighting about it or blaming them for always getting to do what they want to do; help to get someone else's program started; let them sing that song with passion from the heart while encouragiing their flow instead of assuming it's just for self-glory or simple entertainment; actively listen to what conversation your neighbor is trying to have with you without looking around the room for the next person whom you'd like to be spending your time with because that person will make you look better; hear what revelation they were given and now want to share with you; don't get secretly jealous when another person gets to teach a class, rather rejoice and be glad that God's Kingdom is being expanded; be at peace with altar ministry and help to promote God's Spirit when He wants to flow through someone's hands other than your own... let them flow in the gifts even when you can do it and probably better, let them be the one to lay hands on the sick even though you both have the same gift, let them share the revelation even though you already know it, just receive it with joy all over again... yield.  For this routes fighting for territory and promotes an open heart with real love, plus it is another way to be involved with the greatness of service in your life so that while knowing indeed you are great, you don't have the need to be great, because God's Love in you is happy to see His Greatness coming out from somebody else.

Ministering

2010-02-28T05:38:00Z

Hi! Been a long day, been ministering throughout most of it; first up at North St. Louis, then Ang came to town from Indiana so spent under 3 hours ministering in the welcome center up at Destiny while church was going on, then we went to Home Town Buffet for another 3 to talk more about Jesus. It takes banks 2 days now to process checks and all checks (routing numbers) are now considered local... this thought was added in because of all the end time stuff going on... socialism, euro dollars and passports, baal... bulls... you know, the kingdom Jesus is going to defeat because spiritually He already did... so basically we are just catching up with the Revelation in the earth, that Jesus won (Dan 7:13-14)... i'm sorry it doesn't feel like it sometimes, nor look like it but ( Dan 7:21) there is an appointing to look defeated even though judgment is given in our favor (Dan 7:22)... the saints of the Most High God that is, to be the true Nike team... which means we are Victorious since Nike in the Greek means Victory... so praise be to God Who gives us the Victory through our LORD Jesus Christ.... and on that note, i'm gettin' ready for bed, it's nearly midnight here!

Adultery

2010-02-26T23:50:00Z

Blue v1-27 Ch 10 Mark

People get divorced for various reasons... finances, character flaws, misunderstandings, sexual immorality, butting heads - can't get along... but all this is not because people needed to start off perfect, because the fall didn't permit that, separation is linked to a hardened heart more so than the flaw itself that helped the decision to separate come about. If to reasonably agree that people every where have need for more personal improvement than why do we give up when being made to feel inconvenienced? We want mercy given to us if we cause the problem but when time to suffer for someone else's mistake we are willing only to take it so far, and don't practice the 70 times 7 rule flawlessly. So what's the deal? What God has joined together, let not man separate (v9). This is true even in my own marriage, where there have been countless things that have tried to separate Mike and I but when God decided the 2 shall become 1 flesh (v8), then that's just the way it is. Adultery isn't just being married then getting caught sleeping around, it is also divorcing then marrying someone else because your heart is hard (v11-12). For it is better to take time deciding that once you're married you intend to suffer with your partner's weaknesses with the intention of helping them overcome, then to have two and three divorces under your belt... since who doesn't need help overcoming weaknesses in the world we live in today? And whether it is a money problem, sexual problem, or personality conflict problem, why haven't you taken this to Christ? With God all things are possible (v27).

Salt

2010-02-26T04:45:00Z

Blue v38-50 Ch 9 Mark
http://blog.cindypearman.com/2010/02/25/salt.aspx
The disciples didn't think this person was on their side because this person didn't hang around their circle of ministry friends so John was sharing with Jesus how they had forbade this person from casting out demons in Jesus Name, but Jesus said that he who is not against you is on your side, and not to forbid him from flowing in ministry because no one who works a miracle in Jesus Name can soon afterward speak evil of Jesus. And that rewards will not be taken away from the person who so much as gives away a cup of water in Jesus Name, because you belong to Christ, he will by no means lose his reward. v38-41

But the warning Jesus does give is in causing one who believes in Him to stumble... that this is how rewards are lost, saying that if your hand (what you do), or foot (the places you travel), or your eye (lust-greed-devouring), causes you to sin, then cut those places out of your life so that at least you can enter heaven crippled, which is better than being cast into hell and into the fire that shall never be quenched, where worms don't die and fire isn't quenched. v42-48

Jesus recommends having salt in yourself, and having peace with one another (v50).

Faith & Prayer

2010-02-25T05:35:00Z

http://blog.cindypearman.com/2010/02/24/faith--prayer.aspx
Blue v14-29 Ch 9 Mark

There's An Issue With Faith
Frustrated Jesus admits they have none (v19).
The father of a boy with a mute spirit admits he does believe
but needs help with his unbelief (v24).

How do you know if you have any faith? Well... if you have to use "if" at the beginning of your sentence it's a good sign you don't have any.

But if you can do anything have compassion on us and help us (v22).
Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." v23

The question wasn't "If" Jesus could do it.
The answer was "If" you could believe it.

This Is Jesus' Way of Rebuking
v25 ...He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it: "Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!"

It didn't work for the disciples when they tried to cast out the deaf and dumb spirit (v18), and were wondering why so had asked Jesus (v28). And Jesus reveals something about prayer that can be seen in His answer in v29 but you must take another look at v25 to get it. To see that prayer without ceasing (1 Thes 5:17) includes many methods or models of prayer and does not always include the traditional starting/ending words of 'Dear Heavenly Father......in Jesus Name, Amen" which brings out the realization that you are going to give an account for every idle word we speak (Matt 12:36), for then technically everything we say is a prayer by understanding the truth behind the power of life and death in the tongue (Pro 18:21).

v29 So Jesus said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting."

~When you look at v25 it doesn't look like a prayer. It looks like confrontation, rebuke... stuff like that. And no where in the previous verse of this story are we told Jesus was fasting so Jesus mentioned it Himself.

Hear Him

2010-02-24T05:59:00Z

Blue v2-8 Ch 9 Mark
Hand Painted by Alicja - Poland

Jesus took his inner circle (Peter, James, John) up on a high mountain; and Jesus was transfigured before them. His clothes became shining white (much whiter than the white suit Benny Hinn wore many times in crusades). And Elijah and Moses (the law and prophets) apppeared and they were talking with Jesus. Then Peter answered a question before anyone even asked a question, but had felt need to say something (to lead), because that choleric-sanguine side didn't much like the quiet or the discomfort of not knowing what was going on or what to do, but since (v6) he did not know what to say because they were afraid, Peter says, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; (how does he know?) and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah (he is so daring, here he stands with spiritual archaic leaders of well documented experience, plus Jesus the Christ, and Peter boldly trys to get something going but finds another learning curve into maturity, only this time, instead of Jesus the sharp two edged sword rebuking him, Father God sends a Glory Cloud complete with His own Voice to declare the position of Jesus in their lives. "This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!" So while the law tutors within the circle, now came the time to listen to the Ever Living God, and in declarative example given through first hand experience, who were they left looking at? The law and the prophets? No... v8 Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves. Because Jesus came to fulfill the law and the prophets, every last dot and mathematical tittle. And the spirit of prophecy is now the testimony of Jesus~ How you like them apples . The Last Adam didn't eat the fruit of disobedience... His tree is now for the healing of the nations.

If You Don't Mind Please

2010-02-21T01:23:00Z

http://blog.cindypearman.com/2010/02/20/if-you-dont-mind-please.aspx
Blue v31-33 Ch 8 Mark
We are to be for the dwelling place of God in the Spirit (Eph 2:22). But to get there you must be built on the foundation of apostles and prophets that preach and teach the cornerstone is Christ Jesus (v20), and that we are the rest of the whole building (v21) that is being fitted together, growing into a holy temple in the Lord (v21), thanks to the way Christ Jesus abolished in His flesh the enmity, i.e., the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, making peace, that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity (v15-16). Through Christ Jesus we both have access by one Spirit to the Father (v18).

As Peter was being discipled or built up and fitted together so he could arrive where he actually fitted in God's Spiritual body, he first encountered some mistakes through the mind of enmity...

The Story
Jesus began teaching that the Son of Man (His human side) must suffer many things, like being rejected severely bad by people such as deacons in the church, highly powerful, well known and respected leaders, even people who really knew the (law) word of God well, and also be killed, yet would after three days rise again (Mark 8:31).

But Peter still needed improvement on how to flow more spiritually minded and discerning, so he threw himself into an unknown learning curve by taking Jesus off to the side to rebuke Him for saying these things because even in his human compassion Peter did not want Jesus to suffer (v32-33), which sounds noble but it came out from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, from the light side of that tree, because compassion is good but when it isn't filtered through the wisdom-motivation of God it must step away from the Tree of Truth to be demoted through the mind of enmity, which mind is rooted in the tree that looks like our tree of Truth, (on the good side anyway), but it is working out the plan of men instead of the plan of God, so now we see Jesus rebuking Satan to Peter's face for having allowed the mind of enmity to pop through his flesh.

v33 But when Jesus turned around and looked at His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, "Get behind Me, Satan! (satan means adversary, one who opposes God, Peter's misguided, ill-timed compassion was actually opposing God). For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men." Here Peter submitted to his carnal mind or Romans 8:7...For to be carnally minded is death... when Jesus rebukes Satan to your face, you know for sure you were flowing in death, and the wages of sin is death (Ro 6:23), and to exalt against God's plan is death, it's sin, it's enmity. But was Peter cast out of God's inner circle because of this? No! Was Peter rejected from his promotion to become an apostle for Jesus? Christ Jesus? No! (Matthew 10:2) Jesus seen to it that He got Peter to grow up so Peter could learn to obey well the rest of Romans 8:6...but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Selah Lovely One~ Hugs and kisses for you, but go, tell His disciples-and Peter-that He is going before you...Mark 16:7

Whenever you mess up yet have been tagged by Jesus to be His, Jesus will make sure to give you some extra love to make sure you recuperate from your mistake so to stop the mind battle of rejection and failure~ He knows your own evil mind will play enough tormenting games with you, but it is not like Jesus to keep punishment around when you realize the mistake you made then repent to accept just how Great His Love is.

~Peter is currently a disciple but his answer is very apostolic; indeed his eye witness account of seeing Jesus upclose and in action will only open up his eyes deliberately as through many personal mistakes Peter will overcome while being promoted into the apostolic covering of Jesus, becoming one of the many fierce followers in Christ.

v29 ...Peter answered and said to Jesus, "You are the Christ."

Blue v16-21 Ch 8 Mark
3926 Virginia

Signed a contract yesterday (17th) to purchase rehab #7. Yahoo! Janiene (our realitor) was at my house for 3.5 or so hours going over things, faxing, making phone calls... Neato! We get along well for the short time i've known her (this was our 3rd time meeting). The closing isn't scheduled until March but we did send 1,000 earnest money to Stewart Title Co. in Kansas City, so looks like a little more good beat music will be inspiring that hard work ethic come this Spring~

v16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "It is because we have no bread." v17 But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, "Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened? v18 "Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?

~Logos is the root of our modern word logic.

~A Reason is a consideration which explains or justifies.

v19 "When I broke the 5 loaves for the 5,000, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?" They said to Him, "Twelve."

v20 "Also, when I broke the 7 for the 4,000, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?" And they said, "Seven."

~Now when you put those two numbers together you get faith.
12+7=19=Faith

~Logic is the study of reasoning. It is one form of critical thinking using inductive and deductive reasoning (drawing general conclusions from examples or from definitions and axioms so you can see how combining parts form the whole unit).

v21 So He said to them, "How is it you do not understand?"
