Augustine\'s Anointing
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

THANKS UNCLE STEVE: ANGELA HERE: Its Wednesday morning in NZ and Im just waking up! Love the video but the audience all look 60+ I wonder if Traditional Churches will survive beyond 2050? I was brought up Catholic and I still attend from time to time for the Bells \'n Smells! Catholics believe \"The Family that Prays Together Stays together\" so in the UK the Catholic Churches are very Traditional but still have lots of children and teens. A lot of them attend Catholic Schools which reinforces their FAITH. Brian & I attend an Evangelical Church. We have a Creche and a Sunday School in tandem with our Morning Service so we get lots of kids and Young Families. We encourage the Teens in the MUSIC GROUP (say no more!) and we have Holiday Clubs etc. We hope to still be relevant in 2050 when I will be 62 and Brian 67! There are lots of Young Families and KIDS in NZ Churches and the Maoris attend as Families : They are very Spiritual People!
I love your Poems every day, very uplifting. Loved the thought in todays Poem that we can come to GOD at any age and He Cleanses us through the death of Jesus on the Cross for us and fills us with His Holy Spirit: AMEN Thanks for being you, you feed us spiritually every day, AMEN. Love in The Spirit from NZ : ANGELA XXXX

Preparation Ponderings
orchidee said:

In verse 3 about ritual and rite, I mean it in the sense of not overdoing outward things.
We could be so busy observing rites that miss the main purpose of focusing on the Lord.
Not that ritual is wrong, but I saw one over-doing it. He will be worn out before the service even starts! He was waving arms about, bowing here and there, kneeling every couple of minutes, kissing service books, etc. Much more of that and I would have gone potty!

Did you run out of Alleluias - there isn\'t one in the title. I can send you one in the post if you want. Fine write nonetheless.

Noticing The Needy

A noble calling we have in raising our concerns (and taking concrete actions) for the poor and needy among us including those living in high dollar, gated communities driving Bentleys and Benzes. And you do exactly that in this poem; well done Orchidee.

Right on target Orchidee and a clarion call - your poem indeed - that knows no epoch or season.

Thanks STEVE for a very DROLL ORGAN RECITAL ~ BUT a very apt message about discipleship. \"If any MAN or WOMAN will be my Disciple ~ let them deny themselves (that\'s the first hard bit) take up their cross (that\'s the second hard bit) and follow me (is that really necessary when we have our OWN PLAN mapped out ?) Who would choose to be a disciple ? JUDAS committed suicide and most of the other 11 were martyred ~ do I have a choice ? Thanks for your daily challenge BRIAN & ANGELA
