Lorna said:

I\'m sorry Orchi but unless you\'re a secret ax murderer I can\'t believe you to be much of a sinner.......... I personally would trust you. You have written a nice tribute to your faith.

Faith Removes Discrimination - James Series (2)
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks UNCLE STEVE for yet another UPLIFT ~ *A Happy Band of Pilgrims* would be a good title for our *Little Inner Circle* of faithful Readers & Responders ! Angela & I work hard singly & colaboratly to produce a SPECTRUM of Poems in different Styles and on different Subjects ! One comment is a Blessing ~ two a Bonus & three a Bonanza ! Im sure you feel the same ! A Poem a Day saves the Brain from DECAY ! JAMES is an awsome BOOK and tells it like it is. In our DAY JOBS ~ Angela and I meet a wide cross~section of People from different Classes ~ Cultures ~ Colour & Creeds ! We were both raised to treat all PEOPLE as equal in Gods sight and we alwaysI DO ! I was once going to A College for an interviewand I got there EARLY ~ I went for a CUP of COFFEE in the Canteen and there was an Older Man looking worried. I spoke to HIM and He said thanks for cheering me up I have an important JOB to do today ~ We are interviewing for a number of posts today and I want to get it right ! Without thinking I said *Well if I have big decisions to make I always PRAY about them and GOD gives me guidence !* He thanked me and then the Principal came in and collected the Man ~ but for some reason any aprehension I had was lifted as I prayed for the Man I had met and the Principal that GOD would give them WISDOM. I was being interviewed for my first JOB in FE as a Lecturer in Science ! There were four Candidates all older and more experienced than me but I had *Industrial Experience* ! When the Panel was introduced the Man I had Prayed for was the Chair of Governors and Chair of the Panel ! A very experienced Chemical Engineer ! He smiled at ME and said *Well Brian tell us about yourself and why you think we should appoint you to this post !* I had no nerves and the interview went well ! When I was called in for them to offer me the Post ~ He said *You impressed me when we met by accident in the Canteen and I thought after you had said ~ You would Pray for ME ~ that you were the confident sort of Young Candidiate we would hope to appoint today* I learned later that He was a Deacon in the Local Baptist Church ~ AMEN !

Blessings & JOY to YOU & FIDO
Yours as always BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡 + 🧡

I remember young Faith when we were at school in the midlands. Her teen years were adventure but meeting Harry she calmed down and became the family hub.
All these years later she runs a B&B in Bognor and an animal rescue centre. Fond memories of Faith... she\'s with me always, alive and motivating.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Greetings Uncle STEVE ~ The Greeks always have a Word for it ~ thanks for reminding US ! Paul uses it twice in the new Testament Romans 3 v 25 where it is translated PROPITIATION (A Sin Offering) and Hebrews 9 v 5 where it is translated MERCY SEAT (A place where Heavens Love & Heavens Justice meet !) A VERY GOOD WORD INDEED ~ AMEN ! Love your parapoem on Romans 3 v 25 ~ It says it all beautifully. We love the Hymn ~ it too fully explains the MEANING of HILASTRION ~ AMEN

Blessings & Abundant JOY to YOU & FIDO

Profitable Pause
Gary Edward Geraci said:

A gem of a write Orchidee. My brother leans with those who criticize Pope Francis for suggesting that all religions, at their core, seek the one true God. Perhaps it’s just a “profitable pause” that is needed. A pause where one will encounter the Holy Spirit; a pause that will eventually bring many people into His fold of eternal salvation.

I can see the sense of the first two stanzas but as you now know Christianity is uncertain in my mind.

Orchidee, we dont share the same appreciation of what god is but i do share how our god motivates us both here in your words.

This seemed a suitable tune. The original hymn says of journeying on, persevering, until the wise men finally saw the Christ-child (and stanza 1).
