Blessings to you, loved ones.  I’m looking out my window at a beautiful morning.  Our Father’s creation is so amazing.  That includes you!  No matter what you look like, you are beautiful!  My prayer for you this week is that you have an awareness of the life that is in you and that you share that life with someone who does not have it yet.

I enjoyed our time together last Sunday.  We get to share so little of it that we should always make the best of it.  I felt like Priscilla did that with her Sunday school time.  When we get personal like that, I don’t share the podcast.  I want people to feel comfortable that whatever they need to say isn’t going to be broadcast to the world without their permission.

This Sunday, I’m going to continue in 1 Corinthians 15 with verses 50-58 as our focus.  Paul is wrapping up his defense and explanation of the resurrection.  In verses 51-52 he says, “Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.”  Some teach that in this statement he has revealed the mystery, the word being defined in this context as a truth hidden until God reveals it.  Maybe so, but there is still a lot of mystery here.  It raises a lot of practical questions that we won’t really be able to answer until the day it happens.  Combined with the teaching in the preceding verses, this passage does give us some information and encouragement that we can apply to our lives today.  Come join us as we explore the mystery of the resurrection.

Love y’all!
