Go Tell them

 It is a Good Son-Day Indeed

Your call, Ostentatious Florets or Boujee Blossoms



Go Tell Them!

Happy Easter, everyone!

Oddly, on the Richter scales of the most popular or celebrated holidays scale, the average rank of Easter is #9.  In sequence here are the average rankings: #1 Thanksgiving, 2 Christmas, 3 Halloween, 4 Mothers' Day, 5 Independence Day, 6 Memorial Day, 7 Labor Day, 8 Veterans' Day, 9 Easter.

No Easter parade.  No Easter holiday songs channel on Sirius XM.  No fireworks. No memorable Easter movies or TV specials.

This is perplexing considering Jesus himself right after the resurrection He said to Mary & Mary, "Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 

‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God." (John 20:17)";  

5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell His disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.” (Matt 28:5-7)

In these passages Jesus is saying to folks this is a big deal, make sure you tell everyone, "Jesus is alive!".  The celebration follows the announcement

What I love about my Lord, He brought us along for the ride to live eternally with Him.

This holiday to some may have the glitter and popularity of other celebration, it certainly is the most significant, meaningful, and glorious.

Someone needs to celebrate the resurrection with me.  

Text me back a photo of you and yours and be blessed mightily on this most precious of days.

Song of the Week  Hallelujah! Sing a New Song to GOD. Sing HIS praise in the assembly of godly people. Psalm 149:1.

Lyrics
Yes, Lord, yes, Lord,From the bottom of my heartTo the depths of my soul.Yes, Lord, completely yes;My soul says yes
I love You, I love You,From the bottom of my heartTo the depths of my soul.I love you, I really do;My soul says yes.
Not my will, but Thy will be done,No more I but it's You, Christ that lives inside.Lord, I give my everything, my everything to You,And I'm yielded completely through and through.
Not my will, but Thy will's be done,No more I but it's You, Christ that lives inside.I surrender my all to You,And I'm yielded completely through and through,Oh yes, Lord, oh yes, Lord.
Yes, Lord, yes, Lord,From the bottom of my heartTo the depths of my soul.Yes, Lord, completely yes;My soul says yes.
My soul says yes, yes, yes, yes, Lord.From the bottom of my soul, yes, Lord.To the depths of my heart, yes, Lord.
My soul says yesMy soul says yesMy soul says yes...
Yes, LordYes, LordYes, Lord...

Here is Your Mother

It is a Good Son-Day Indeed Mother's Day Menagerie Here is Your Mother I am blessed in so many ways to be surrounded so many wonderful women who have brought into the world exceptional human beings.  Thank God every day for the mothers who have impacted my life.  I know when I need them they will be there for me and they know I will reciprocate. As I continue the epic saga of post-resurrection Christ I would be remissed if I did not include presence at the cross and the acession of Christ.  Typical mother, always there for an extraordinary and exceptional anointed Savior she birth into this world. Take care of the women who are your biological, step, assumed, spiritual, in-law, in-lieu of physical mother. Christ, Mary his mother, Christ's disciple, and Christ's charge to His disciple. John 19:25-27 25 Standing near the cross were Jesus’ mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary (the wife of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw His mother standing there beside the di...

Freely You Have Received, Freely Give

Good Son-day Morning!!! enjoying 70's Nothing But Good News here. Hanging with My Axe'd Freely You Have Received, Freely Give Many economists are predicting a recession is in the making.  Quick lesson, a recession is defined as two straight quarters of negative value of goods and services produced in the USA (GDP, Gross Domestic Product). Other indicators like employment rates, business investment, and consumer spending also are considered.  A recession causes hardships for almost everyone, especially those whose income is below the Federal Poverty Level (for an individual, $967/month, and a couple, $1,450/month). During the holidays, the public has a more heightened sense towards the needs of impoverished people.  For the other 10 months of the year, less so.  There is a serious struggle for food shelves, clothing resources, and shelters to meet the demands of impoverished people.  I have seen this in my visits to the many community resources in the metro...

Live Roses

 Good Son-Day - The Start of  Something New Ice Creameisters! Live Roses The day after Christmas, I got a call from a former co-worker I had connected with for about a year or so. I started the conversation by asking about her grandchild and two daughters. I proceeded to ask her how her husband was doing and got an unexpected quick but poignant answer: "Oh, he's doing fine; we're getting a divorce."  Wait, what! This couple was married for 30-plus years.  The husband is retired. Nice home in the burbs,  Both children are college grads.  Empty nesters. The American Dream. What happened? I did not pry.  The only thing she offered was, "One day, I was sitting at the dining room table.  He sat directly across from me.  I looked at him.  I said to myself I can't do this anymore. I knew then I needed to file for a divorce."   The  news sent me for a spin.  At first, I thought he must have cheated, or he spent too much time at hi...
