John 11:1-53
Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair. So the sisters sent word to Jesus, Lord, the one you love is sick.
When he heard this, Jesus said, This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory is that God’s Son may be glorified through it. Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. Yet when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days.
Then he said to his disciples, Let us go back to Judea.
But Rabbi, they said, a short while ago the Jews tried to stone you and yet you are going back there?
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours of daylight? A man who walks by da will not stumble. For he sees by this world’s light. It is when he walks by night that he stumbles. For he has no light.
After he had said this, he went on to tell them, Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.
His disciples replied, Lord if he sleeps he will get better. Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.
So then he told them plainly, Lazarus is dead, and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.
Then Thomas, called Didymus, said to the rest of the disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

Pictures from our walk around the orchard…
It’s a deserted orchard… not sure if someone still owns it or the city…
The kids use it to cut through to get to the middle school… others ride their bicycles, dirt bikes, quads, motorcycles, etc… while others walk their dogs…
Some people dump their garbage… furniture, mattresses, wood, appliances and we saw a bra…
And lots and lots of tires… most of the tires were in the trees… we weren’t sure if there was a reason for a tire to be in every tree or just kids playing…
Pictures of son2’s room after our walk…
Corned beef, red potatoes and green beans for dinner for St. Patrick’s Day… I like the corned beef on sour dough bread with mayo and swiss cheese…

We’re watching Animaniacs and then it’s time to get ready for school and work…

The Bible says the truth sets us free (John 8:31-32). We need to be honest with others about what's going on inside us.
Keep a good attitude no matter what is going on in your life. (Col. 3:12)
Your goal shouldn’t be to get your way, but to remain stable no matter what comes your way.
Today, Linda, we believe God wants you to know that ...
tonight you can turn your worries to God, and have a good night's sleep.
You've been worrying too much about the future lately. So tonight, go ahead, put your faith in God, and just have a peaceful evening and a restful sleep.
Tonight
Partly Cloudy 48°
Tomorrow
Partly Cloudy 76°
Tomorrow night
Partly Cloudy 54°
Happy Journaling…
