He had James the brother of John beheaded, and when he saw that this pleased the Jews he went on to arrest Peter as well.<br /><br />"As it was during the days of Unleavened Bread that he had arrested him, he put him in prison, assigning four sections of four soldiers each to guard him, meaning to try him in public after the Passover. All the time Peter was under guard the church prayed to God for him unremittingly.<br /><br />"On the night before Herod was to try him, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, fastened with two chains, while guards kept watch at the main entrance to the prison. Then suddenly an angel of the Lord stood there, and the cell was filled with light. He tapped Peter on the side and woke him. 'Get up!' he said, 'Hurry!' -- and the chains fell from his hands.<br /><br />"The angel then said, 'Put on your belt and sandals.' After he had done this, the angel next said, 'Wrap your cloak round you and follow me.'<br /><br />"He followed him out, but had no idea that what the angel did was all happening in reality; he thought he was seeing a vision.<br /><br />"They passed through the first guard post and then the second and reached the iron gate leading to the city. This opened of its own accord; they went through it and had walked the whole length of one street when suddenly the angel left him.<br /><br />"It was only then that Peter came to himself. And he said, 'Now I know it is all true. <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">The Lord really did send his angel and save me</span> from Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.'

Do come and lay your hands on her that she may be saved and may live.'<br /><br />"Jesus went with him and a large crowd followed him; they were pressing all round him.<br /><br />"Now there was a woman who had suffered from a haemorrhage for twelve years; after long and painful treatment under various doctors, she had spent all she had without being any the better for it; in fact, she was getting worse. She had heard about Jesus, and she came up through the crowd and touched his cloak from behind, thinking, '<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">If I can just touch his clothes, I shall be saved.</span>' And at once the source of the bleeding dried up, and she felt in herself that she was cured of her complaint.<br /><br />"And at once aware of the power that had gone out from him, Jesus turned round in the crowd and said, 'Who touched my clothes?' His disciples said to him, 'You see how the crowd is pressing round you; how can you ask, "Who touched me?" ' But he continued to look all round to see who had done it.<br /><br />"Then the woman came forward, frightened and trembling because she knew what had happened to her, and she fell at his feet and told him the whole truth.<br /><br />"'My daughter,' he said, 'your faith has restored you to health; go in peace and be free of your complaint.'<br /><br />"While he was still speaking some people arrived from the house of the president of the synagogue to say, 'Your daughter is dead; why put the Master to any further trouble?' But Jesus overheard what they said and he said to the president of the synagogue, 'Do not be afraid; only have faith.' And he allowed no one to go with him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.<br /><br />"So they came to the house of the president of the synagogue, and Jesus noticed all the commotion, with people weeping and wailing unrestrainedly. He went in and said to them, 'Why all this commotion and crying? The child is not dead, but asleep.'<br /><br />"But they ridiculed him. So he turned them all out and, taking with him the child's father and mother and his own companions, he went into the place where the child lay.<br /><br />"And taking the child by the hand he said to her, 'Talitha kum!' which means, 'Little girl, I tell you to get up.' The little girl got up at once and began to walk about, for she was twelve years old.

With this he applied the medicine, left it there a while, then with both hands peeled away a filmy skin from the corners of his eyes.<br /><br />"Then his father fell on his neck and wept. He exclaimed, 'I can see you, my son, the light of my eyes!' And he said: Blessed be God! Blessed be his great name! Blessed be all his holy angels! Blessed be his great name for evermore! For, having afflicted me, he has had pity on me and now I see my son Tobias! Tobias went indoors, joyfully blessing God at the top of his voice. Then he told his father everything; how his journey had been successful and he had brought the silver back; how his journey had been successful and he had brought the silver back; how he had married Sarah the daughter of Raguel; how she was following him now, close behind, and could not be far from the gates of Nineveh.<br /><br />"Tobit set off to the gates of Nineveh to meet his daughter-in-law, giving joyful praise to God as he went. When the people of Nineveh saw him walking without a guide and stepping forward as briskly as of old, they were astonished.<br /><br />"Tobit described to them how God had taken pity on him and had opened his eyes. Then Tobit met Sarah the bride of his son Tobias, and blessed her in these words. 'Welcome, daughter! Blessed be your God for sending you to us, my daughter. Blessings on your father, blessings on my son Tobias, blessings on yourself, my daughter. Welcome now to your won house in joyfulness an din blessedness. Come in, my daughter.' That day brought joy to the Jews of Nineveh, and his cousins Ahikar and Nadab came to share in Tobit's happiness."<br /><br />TOBIT 11:5-18<br /><br /><p align="center"><em>"Lord, teach me to walk by faith and not by sight<br />(2 Corinthians 5:7)."</em></p><hr /><p align="right"><a href="http://magicalpics.blogspot.com/2009/06/blessing-for-obedience.html">&lt;&lt;PREV</a> | <a href="http://magicalpics.blogspot.com/">HOME</a> | <a href="http://magicalpics.blogspot.com/2009/06/who-deserves-award.html">NEXT&gt;&gt;</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20387837-2771690633351061872?l=magicalpics.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>~MAGIcAL~http://www.blogger.com/profile/08031930839603413061noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387837.post-83405275049628805592009-06-04T23:46:00.003+08:002009-06-07T00:49:46.486+08:00<p align="center"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3j3ku-n_0YQ/SiqRJe_mFAI/AAAAAAAADfg/LaJuMOwyPiY/s1600-h/Reading-The-Bible.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3j3ku-n_0YQ/SiqRJe_mFAI/AAAAAAAADfg/LaJuMOwyPiY/s400/Reading-The-Bible.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344243499953165314" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3</span></p>"One of the scribes who had listened to them debating appreciated that Jesus had given a good answer and put a further question to him, '<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Which is the first of all the commandments?</span>'<br /><br />"Jesus replied, 'This is the first: Listen, Israel, the Lord our God is the one, only Lord, and you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength.

All your ways are grace and truth, and you are the Judge of the world. Therefore, Lord, remember me, look on me. Do not punish me for my sins or for my needless faults or those of my ancestors.<br /><br />"For we have sinned against you and broken your commandments; and you have given us over to be plundered, to captivity and death, to be the talk, the laughing-stock and scorn of all the nations among whom you have dispersed us. And now all your decrees are true when you deal with me as my faults deserve, and those of my ancestors. For we have neither kept your commandments nor walked in truth before you.<br /><br />"So now, do with me as you will; be pleased to take my life from me; so that I may be delivered from earth and become earth again. Better death than life for me, for I have endured groundless insult and am in deepest sorrow. Lord, be pleased to deliver me from this affliction. Let me go away to my everlasting home; do not turn your face from me, O Lord. Better death for me than life prolonged in the face of unrelenting misery: I can no longer bear to listen to insults.<br /><br />"It chanced on the same day that Sarah the daughter of Raguel, who lived in Media at Ecbatana, also heard insults from one of her father's maids. For she had been given in marriage seven times, and Asmodeus, the worst of demons, had killed her bridegrooms one after another before ever they had slept with her as man with wife. The servant-girl said, 'Yes, you kill your bridegrooms yourself. That makes seven already to whom you have been given, and you have not once been in luck yet. Just because your bridegrooms have died, that is no reason for punishing us. Go and join them, and may we be spared the sight of any child of yours!'<br /><br />"That day, she grieved, she sobbed, and she went up to her father's room intending to hang herself. But then she thought, 'Suppose they were to blame my father! They would say, "You had an only daughter whom you loved, and now she has hanged herself for grief." I cannot cause my father a sorrow which would bring down his old age to the dwelling of the dead. I should do better not to hang myself, but to beg the Lord to let my die and not live to hear any more insults.'<br /><br />"And at this, by the window, with outstretched arms she said this prayer: You are blessed, O God of mercy! May your name be blessed for ever, and may all things you have made bless you everlastingly.<br /><br />"This time the prayer of each of them found favour before the glory of God, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">and Raphael was sent to bring remedy to them both. He was to take the white spots from the eyes of Tobit, so that he might see God's light</span> with his own eyes; and he was to give Sarah the daughter of Raguel as bride to Tobias son of Tobit, and to rid her of Asmodeus, that worst of demons. for it was to Tobias before all other suitors that she belonged by right. Tobit was coming back from the courtyard into the house at the same moment as Sarah the daughter of Raguel was coming down from the upper room."<br /><br />TOBIT 3:1-11a,16-17a<br /><br /><p align="center"><em>"Lord, help me share Your Light to the world."</em></p><hr /><p align="right"><a href="http://magicalpics.blogspot.com/2009/06/others-opinion.html">&lt;&lt;PREV</a> | <a href="http://magicalpics.blogspot.com/">HOME</a> | <a href="http://magicalpics.blogspot.com/2009/06/blessing-for-obedience.html">NEXT&gt;&gt;</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20387837-4049225915456865761?l=magicalpics.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>~MAGIcAL~http://www.blogger.com/profile/08031930839603413061noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387837.post-79040474157422390032009-06-02T09:57:00.004+08:002009-06-04T10:51:09.698+08:00<p align="center"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3j3ku-n_0YQ/SicqTB9fGHI/AAAAAAAADfA/f3j0YA4OZcI/s1600-h/whisper.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3j3ku-n_0YQ/SicqTB9fGHI/AAAAAAAADfA/f3j0YA4OZcI/s400/whisper.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343285989330589810" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">From www.essexcc.gov.uk</span></p>"Next they sent to him some Pharisees and some Herodians to catch him out in what he said.<br /><br />"These came and said to him, '<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Master, we know that you are an honest man, that you are not afraid of anyone, because human rank means nothing to you</span>, and that you teach the way of God in all honesty.

As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar, Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth passing by, he began to call out, 'Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me!' Many people scolded him and told him to keep quiet, but he shouted all the louder, 'Son of David, have mercy on me!'<br /><br />"Jesus stopped and said, 'Call him.' So they called the blind man saying, 'Take heart. Get up, he is calling you.' He immediately threw aside his cloak, jumped up and went to Jesus.<br /><br />"Then <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Jesus asked him, 'What do you want me to do for you?'

The Twelve were anxious and those who followed were afraid. Once more Jesus took the Twelve aside to tell them what was to happen to him, 'You see we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be given over to the chief priests and the teachers of the Law. They will condemn him to death and hand him over to the foreigners who will make fun of him, spit on him, scourge him and finally kill him; but three days later he will rise.'<br /><br />"James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said to him, 'Master, we want you to grant us what we are going to ask you.' And he said, 'What do you want me to do for you?' They answered, 'Grant us to sit one at your right and one at your left when you come in your glory.'<br /><br />"But Jesus said to them, 'You don't know what your are asking. Can you drink the cup that I drink or be baptized in the way I am baptized?' They answered, 'We can.' And Jesus told them, 'The cup that I drink you will drink, and you will be baptized in the way I am baptized. But to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to grant. It has been prepared for others.'<br /><br />"On hearing this, the other ten were angry with James and John; Jesus then called them to him and said, '<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">As you know, the so-called rulers of the nations</span> act as tyrants and their great ones <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">oppress them</span>.

Is it not your inner longings which make war within your own selves? When you long for something you cannot have, you kill for it and when you do not get wheat you desire, you squabble and fight. The fact is, you do not have what you want because you do not pray for it. You pray for something and you do not get it because you pray with the wrong motive of indulging your pleasures. You adulterers! Don't you know that making friends with the world makes you enemies of God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be the world's friend becomes God's enemy.<br /><br />"Surely, Scripture is not wrong when it says that our spirit tends towards excess.

When the people saw Jesus, they were astonished and ran to greet them.<br /><br />"He asked, 'What are you arguing about with them?' A man answered him from the crowd, 'Master, I brought my son to you for he has a dumb spirit. Whenever the spirit seizes him, it throws him down and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth and becomes stiff all over. I asked your disciples to drive the spirit out, but they could not.'<br /><br />"Jesus replied, 'You faithless people. How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to me.' And they brought the boy to him.<br /><br />"As soon as the spirit saw Jesus, it shook and convulsed the boy who fell on the ground and began rolling about, foaming at the mouth. Then Jesus asked the father, 'How long has this been happening to him?' He replied, 'From childhood. And it has often thrown him into the fire and into the water to destroy him. If you can do anything, have pity on us and help us.'<br /><br />"Jesus said to him, 'Why do you say: "If you can?" All things are possible for one who believes.' Immediately the father of the boy cried out, '<strong><em>I do believe, but help the little faith I have.</em></strong>'<br /><br />"Jesus saw that the crowd was increasing rapidly, so he ordered the evil spirit, 'Dumb and deaf spirit, I command you: Leave the boy and never enter him again.' The evil spirit shook and convulsed the boy and with a terrible shriek came out. The boy lay like a corpse and people said, 'He is dead.' But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him and the boy stood up.<br /><br />"After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, 'Why couldn't we drive out the spirit?' And he answered, 'Only prayer can drive out this kind, nothing else.'"<br /><br />MARK 9:14-29<br /><br /><p align="center"><em>"Lord, nothing is impossible with You.<br />Your love conquers all."</em></p><hr /><br /><p align="right"><a href="http://magicalpics.blogspot.com/2008/05/smile-1.html">&lt;&lt;PREV</a> | <a href="http://magicalpics.blogspot.com/">HOME</a> | <a href="http://magicalpics.blogspot.com/2008/05/devil-wears-prada.html">NEXT&gt;&gt;</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20387837-4477715772598499660?l=magicalpics.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>~MAGIcAL~http://www.blogger.com/profile/08031930839603413061noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387837.post-14890985734136453992008-05-18T02:53:00.002+08:002008-12-11T00:44:25.791+08:00<p align="center"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3j3ku-n_0YQ/SC7jf1I3zwI/AAAAAAAABxM/_DNX8TqlMV8/s1600-h/Aliwan-Fiesta-Beauty.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3j3ku-n_0YQ/SC7jf1I3zwI/AAAAAAAABxM/_DNX8TqlMV8/s400/Aliwan-Fiesta-Beauty.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5201344755639242498" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">Canon EOS 350, f/4.5, 1/640 sec</span></p>"Yes, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but may have eternal life.</span> God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world; instead, through him the world is to be saved.

We put a bit into the horse's mouth to master it and, with this, we control its whole body.
