Christian Poetry: I Call His Name (Jesus)
When I am sad or in pain I call His name.
When I am lost and cannot find my way
I call His name.
When I am thankful and filled with joy,
I call His name.
Nothing would ever be the same if I couldn't call His name.
The Red Bird
A red bird comes to visit me,
He moves from tree to tree.
He looks for food on the
ground,
I like it when he comes around.
The Clouds
The clouds look soft as they float by,
They are very far up in the
sky.
The sun comes out and chases
them away,
Buy they will be back another day.
Georgetta (Georgette) Hanna Johnson, my mother, wrote simple, serene poetry and short stories.
She loved painting beautiful acrylic, folk art landscapes on construction paper. Her favorite color was purple and she enjoyed various types of crafting.
She loved watching T. D. Jakes and Jimmy Swaggart and reading her Bible everyday. She was raised in the Church of God under Bishop Lula Mae Swanson. In her later years, Georgette grew closer to God.
She went peacefully to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in January, 2021

Remembering Christ At All Meals
Sunday, January 30, 2022
Proclaim The Lord's Death Till He Comes
The Apostle Paul wrote to the new church, that he had founded at Corinth, the message for all of us today, that we should proclaim the Lord's death till he comes. (I Corinthians 11:23) He is reminding us all of what took place in that upper room when Jesus had his last meal with his Disciples.
Jesus was telling them that whenever they had a meal, to remember that though He died in the flesh He was coming back again. He was saying let your eating and drinking of sustenance be a reminder that I was resurrected and I am returning to resurrect those who have died and rapture (change) those who are still alive on the earth at that time.
What does proclaim mean? It can mean to claim and act as if. It can mean to affirm. When we choose to claim the belief that Christ is coming back, we act everyday as if we know that he is. By our actions of taking a moment to remember him when we eat and drink, we affirm that we believe Jesus is alive and coming back.
When we choose that every meal that we take will be a reminder and proclamation of Christ's resurrection and return, we then have more opportunities to remember Christ. What about the Eucharist? What about Communion?
There is nothing wrong with practicing these formal procedures and traditions. Churches, ministries and Christian groups do it differently. Some have group Communion once a week, some once a month, some occasionally, some at special events. Some use grape juice and I imagine that some use fermented or alcoholic drink because they feel that they are being true to ancient, middle-eastern tradition.
Some use crackers, some use bread. Some insist on unleavened bread and other types of baked goods. There is no perfect way that Jesus meant for us to remember him when we eat and drink.
If we take it the way that Jesus meant it, we will find ourselves with daily opportunities to remember him. That will be many more chances than if we recognize only formal Communion services.
When we only embrace the Eucharist events, we have a tendency to forget about Christ until the next Eucharist. It's as if we are being told that this is the only valid time that we can formally honor the resurrection and return of Our Savior.
In the Upper Room, Jesus Christ was giving each person a way to remember him everyday, as often as they each ate, whether they were together or not. If they ate together, fine. If they ate alone, fine. If they ate with a group of Christians, fine. If they ate with their families, fine.
I take Communion by myself at home whenever I remember or am inspired to and with whatever I have. I don't feel that I have to have a certain bread, cracker or drink to make it valid. My heart is valid before God.
I am also training myself to remember, whenever I sit down to eat a meal, that my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was resurrected from his death, is at the right hand of my Father God and is returning for me one day soon, whether I have died or am alive.

Christmas Begins With Christ
It doesn't matter whether or not December 25 is the actual birth date of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
It doesn't matter which or what type of manger he was laid in.
Nor does it matter where is the exact location of the inn or the type and construction of the stable where they stayed.
In other words, the particulars don't matter to God and neither should they matter to us.
It matters that we grow in understanding and appreciation of just what our Lord & Savior has done for us.
It matters that we learn to love and respect Our Heavenly Father, who loved us so much that he sent Jesus as the sacrificial Lamb.
The Christmas season is because of Jesus Christ, who is at the right hand of Our Father even now, praying and interceding for us till the end of time.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Priscilla Shirer Praises Jesus Christ
So many are ecstatic when they think they have finagled another way to God through some far-fetched ideas or obscure opinions but it can't be done.
We know that:
Jesus Christ is the only way to God,
The Only Door,
The Alpha and The Omega,
The First and The Last,
The Beginning and The End,
The Resurrection and The Life.
Let's praise him with American author, motivational speaker, actress, and Christian evangelist Priscilla Shirer! You may know that she is the daughter of Tony Evans and sister of Anthony Evans.

He Cares For You

Jesus has truly suffered it all. |
No matter what it is, you know that Jesus understands. He who suffered everything that you have and will suffer offers comfort in a way that no one else can. Though he may not have experienced what you have in the way that you did, he has truly suffered it all.

He suffered it for you. |

Talk to Jesus and remember that it is our Father God who raised him from the dead.
