Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

Zebedee, the father of James and John, was betrayed by Jesus when he recruited his sons along with his fishing partners, Peter and Andrew, so that his fishing business would fail.

Luke 5:4-11  –  Matthew 27:56  –  Matthew 20:20-21  –  Mark 15:40  –  Mark 16:1-8  –  Matthew 8:20  –  Luke 9:58

Fact of the Day

No!  Just before recruiting them, Jesus performed a miracle of catching so many fish at the wrong time of day that Zebedee’s nets were about to break.  It was a message to Zebedee that his fishing business would do fine. 

In fact, Zebedee’s wife, Salome, traveled with Jesus and his mother sometimes, probably donating funds (since he did not have any) and helping with the women and children.

She certainly had enough money to partner with the other women in paying for expensive spices for his “embalming”.  Rabbis Joseph and Nicodemus had already bought 76 pounds of spices (at that time valued at some $200,000) and the five women brought even more.

Inside-COVER-lg thumbnailAh, my Lord, you are my light for the path I walk.  You are my way through the world I travel.  Your holiness soars through the cosmos and settles at last in my heart.  I can never feel alone when you are near. I can never feel rejected when you carry me. I can never feel deserted when you hold my heart in your arms and sing to me with your spirit.

Forgive me, Lord, when I am alone in my house and am afraid of what might be lurking in the darkness outside. Remind me that nothing will happen to me without your permission and for some greater good.

Thank you, God, for getting me through yesterday when I felt so down. I did not stay down. I saw a few friends and you lifted me up through them.  Thank you for your life on earth and your willingness to live it to the fullest ~ all the way to dying for being good. You seemed so defeated. How wrong everyone was. What you went through made your victory so much more dynamic. Thank you for materializing for me. Forever thank you. From my heart thank you. with my soul I worship you.
