23 And being let go, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. 24 So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: “Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them, 25 who [c]by the mouth of Your servant David have said:
‘Why did the nations rage,
And the people plot vain things?
26 The kings of the earth took their stand,
And the rulers were gathered together
Against the Lord and against His Christ.’
27 “For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together 28 to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done. 29 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”
31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
32 Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. 34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.
36 And [d]Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of [e]Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, 37 having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
Good morning and welcome
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen

Good morning everyone.
Good Morning. God Bless All Here Today.
"Now and Forever. May You Always Be Able. To Touch the Hand of God".
Internal Evidence. The Apostles not only had doubts. But ran away hiding from the Romans and the Sanhedrin. After the Resurrection. After the visitation of the Holy Spirit? They became raging Evangelical Lions unafraid. All died as Martyrs. Except John dying of old age. All those Martyrs. They did not die for a hoax.
No they didn't die for a hoax. They completely changed.
Sitting here in my hoodie with it 47 degrees outside. No heat going on in the house yet.
It's 59 here, it'll be in the low 90s today.
I don't think we're going to get that warm. It was uncomfortably cool this morning in the house.
Good morning. When I opened the living room blinds this morning, I saw 2 foxes playing in the street!
God determined two things: To give up His Son to die for sinners, and to give up sinners to their own will, so that, even while they resisted His will, they would fulfill it by crucifying the one who was destined to save all who believe.

I saw one at a distance near the railroad tracks. It had a huge fluffy tail. It was beautiful.
They're becoming a more common sight around here as we continue to encroach on their space. There is one who must have a den near by because we see it all the time. But these two were "new", maybe they're that one's kits?
Our "resident" fox has mostly black legs, deep red body &, of course, the thick, bushy tail with the white tip. It's beautiful!
I'd love to get a picture, but it's so fast!
