Book Review #1

Lazarus Awakening

Written By: Joanna Weaver

To live, we must first be willing to die. To live to our fullest, we must die often so that Jesus can inhabit more of our spirit within us. Jesus wept (John 11:35), is the shortest sentence in the bible. He wept because a man He loved died. Jesus’s grief was real. It was a precursor to one of the most major miracles performed by our Lord: that of raising a man from the dead. The symbolism of One who would die and himself rise, as foretold by prophets, yet hardly believed upon affirmation. This miracle led to Jesus’s enemies plotting his demise.

These and other biblical facts are golden nuggets obtained by reading the expertly written book Lazarus Awakening. By breaking down bible passages, word for word, sentence-by-sentence, Ms. Weaver unravels insight into the world of Jesus, his disciples,  Lazarus’s sisters Martha and Mary, their friends, and those who hate and fear Jesus…the pharoses and unbelievers. Throughout the book, Jesus’s purpose in history is explained both in general and personal terms. Jesus was a real man that walked the earth, had a heart and feelings. Further, Jesus was a God-man whose purpose was to be a sacrificial lamb that would die, so that His believers would live!

From beginning to middle to end, the book runneth-over with scripture that imparts personality traits and motivation. It is an in-depth look at Jesus’s actions before, during, and after Lazarus’s resurrection. Lazarus Awakening comes on the heels of Ms. Weaver’s books Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World and Having a Mary Spirit. With glimpses into both Mary’s and Martha’s personalities, you may come to understand Lazarus’s sisters and how their devotion and love for both Jesus and Lazarus intertwines.

This is a definite ‘must read’ that includes a ten-week companion bible study. To live, we must first be willing to die. I implore you to die soon, and often.

Cuckoo Nut Nut

Someone's grandson calls people a 'Cuckoo Nut Nut.'

That's a nice way of saying y'all are flaky!

(Including me...and proud of it).

It's nice being able to be silly and not so stressed out all the time, nor worrying if I'm politically correct.

I put my trust in the LORD so I can relax more. GOD sent Himself to the world in the person of his son, JESUS, to take all the grief upon Himself. To free us up to relax and love and praise Him for His goodness.

Give it a try.

If you are taxed, turn your burden over to GOD. Let Him free you so you can, in turn, become a 'Cuckoo Nut Nut!'

...and all the people said...

AMEN!

Baptism Today

I attended a baptism today.
As we stood and prayed...
Lord Jesus reached down,
and without a sound,
swatted the devil away!

I attended a baptism today.
With my brothers and sisters He made...
Christ Jesus clapped loud,
and then the crowd,
promised with Jesus to stay!

I attended a baptism today.
The water was cold and gray...
Into wet rebirth they lay...
King Jesus He raised,
the dead are now living always!
