2 Kings 5:  Now I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel.

2 Timothy 2:  Therefore, I bear with everything for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, together with eternal glory.

Luke 17:  Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine?

Rosemary's Blessing:  

May you be blessed with the gift of humility

To know who you are,

To appreciate your strengths and talents,

To be aware of your shortcomings and limitations,

And most especially…

To be grateful each day for life

Another Reminder for Sunday, April 25, 2021.

Here are the links for Sunday:

Ezekiel 2:   Tell them, 'This is the Message of God, the Master.'   They are a defiant bunch. Whether or not they listen, at least they'll know that a prophet's been here.

2 Corinthians 12:  At first I didn't think of it as a gift, and begged God to remove it. Three times I did that,  and then he told me, My grace is enough; it's all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness.

Mark 6:    Jesus told them, "A prophet has little honor in his hometown, among his relatives, on the streets he played in as a child."

Thanks again, Folks, for doing what you can.

 

Rosemary's Blessing:

Life is not a journey to the grave

With the intention of arriving safely

In a pretty and well preserved body,

But rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke,

Thoroughly used up,

Totally worn out,

And loudly proclaiming

—WOW—What a Ride!

Hunter S. Thompson

 

Jeremiah 20:  Sing to the Lord, praise the Lord, for he has rescued the life of the poor from the power of the wicked!

Romans 5:  …how much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one man Jesus Christ overflow for the many.

Matthew 10:  Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father.

           

                                             

It is with sadness that I let you know that Jan Keszler  passed last Sunday, June 18, 2023. 

July 14th: Jan's ashes will be in placed in a columbarium.

July 15th: A Celebration of Life. 

We will let you know the time and place when the information becomes available.

 

 

 

John Stack Ministries now meets at:  The ArtCentre of Plano, 902 E. 16th St, Plano

 

Jeremiah 1:   … for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.

1 Corinthians 12:   So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Luke 1:  Amen, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own native place.

Rosemary's Blessing:  

 

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure
the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give of one's self;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and
sung with exultation;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived –
This is to have succeeded.

 

What Is Success  by Ralph Waldo Emerson
