Sunday greetings, everyone.

riderless bikeMany of you know I've been attending Freedom Sessions at our church on Thursday nights. This past week, we wrapped up the 20th and final session, and I'm still processing the incredible impact it's had on my life. It's not just the big, noticeable changes – though those are certainly present. It's the quiet, persistent shifts happening deep within me that continue to reveal themselves. God has truly worked wonders through this program, and I'm filled with gratitude.

If you're interested in learning more about Freedom Sessions and how it might help you discover greater freedom and healing, please visit freedomsession.com. Perhaps this is the next step in your own journey.

I think Raul el Perro remembers the day when you could get on your horse, after a long day on the far side of the ranch, and it would take you home while you enjoyed a nap. After watching today's video share, it looks like we'll soon be able to do that with our bikes!

How to Give Your Cat a Pill

A tabby cat looking directly at us with ears up tall and a surprised expression.I.  Grasp cat firmly in your arms.  Cradle its head on your elbow, just as if you were giving baby a bottle. Coo confidently, "That's a nice kitty." Drop pill into its mouth.

2.  Retrieve cat from top of lamp, and pill from under the sofa.

3.  Follow same procedure as in 1. but hold cat's front paws down with left hand and back paws down with elbow of right arm.  Poke pill into its mouth with right forefinger.

4.  Retrieve cat from under the bed.  Get new pill from bottle.  (Resist impulse to get new cat.)

5.  Again proceed as in 1. except when you have cat firmly cradled in the bottle-feeding position, sit down on edge of chair, fold your torso over cat, bring your right hand over your left elbow, open cat's mouth by lifting the upper jaw and pop pill in quickly.  Since your head is down by your knees, you won't be able to see what you are doing. That's just as well.

6.  Leave cat hanging on the drapes. Leave pill in your hair.

7.  If you're a woman, have a good cry. If you're a man, have a good cry.

8.  Now pull yourself together. Who's the boss here anyway? Retrieve cat and pill. Assuming position 1. say sternly, "Who the boss here anyway?" Open cat's mouth, take pill and Oooops!

9.  This isn't working is it? Collapse and think. Aha! Those flashing claws are causing the chaos.

10.  Crawl to linen closet. Drag back large beach towel. Spread towel on floor.

11.  Retrieve cat from kitchen counter and pill from potted plant.

12.  Spread cat on towel near one end with its head over long edge.

13.  Flatten cat's front and back legs over its stomach. (resist impulse to flatten cat.)

14.  Roll cat in towel. Work fast; time and tabbies wait for no man or woman.

15.  Resume position. Rotate your left hand to cat's head. Press its mouth at the jaw hinges like opening the pedals on a snap dragon.

16.  Drop pill into cats mouth and poke gently. Voila!  It's done.

17.  Vacuum up loose fur (cats). Apply bandages to wounds (yours).

18.  Take two aspirins and lie down.

Microscope vs. Telescope 🌀

They kaleidoscope.

Lazarus, Come Out!

A young boy standing with runners in a shallow puddle - just being a kid.Our children's Sunday School classes were presenting their year-end program for the congregation - telling about the life of Jesus.

When it came to the part about Jesus' miracles, one little boy said, "Yes, Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead!"

The teacher urged him to tell us more.

He said, "Well, Jesus told them to open the tomb, and then He said, 'Lazarus, come out!' And it's a good thing he didn't just say 'Come out!' because there would have been a stampede of dead guys."

Needless to say our congregation enjoyed the presentation very much.

Rev. James Snyder, God's Penman, writes . . . . 

I’ll Tell You When I’ve Had Enough

Six ice-cream cones laying flat on a white surface with strawberries and sprinkles above them.It was evening, and the day was just about over. The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I were chilling in the living room, watching TV.

It is always lovely when the day ends, and you can relax. Doing nothing can become a habit.
