Jesus Taught the People

Jesus got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat. — Luke 5:3

Today is Martin Luther King Junior Day, when we celebrate his life and legacy.

In the book of Luke, Jesus got into a boat to teach the people.

Martin Luther King also shared the Gospel with people.

He taught them about God's love and the saving grace of Jesus.

And he taught them to care about others, similar to the way the Good Samaritan took care of the stranger who was left at the side of the road.

Help us, Lord, to do the same.

Our Beautiful Earth

How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. — Psalm 104:24

Piedras Pintadas Hike

On Saturday we went for a hike in Piedras Pintadas, around Lake Hodges.

We saw a boat on the lake, ducks and grebes, egrets, birds sitting on their nests of  eggs, mountains, lakes, and a waterfall.

Then we walked over the suspension bridge and listened to all of the birds chirping.

The cloud cover kept us cool. A perfect day for a hike.

Thanks to Kellie for organizing the hike and to everyone who came out to join us.
 
How many are your works, Lord!

In wisdom you made them all.

The earth is full of your creatures.
