Goooood Morning all!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! And what a fine morning it is! Blue sky, beautiful sun, it is great! I've been up since 720ish enjoying the awakening of the morning through the windows of my room. Quite nice quite nice. Oh, the surgery went well too. I'm currently in recoop mode with this continuous motion machine bending my knee for me. I hope you all are having an excellent day and that your are enjoying it with your families, tru! Aight, on to... da Word!

An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.
- Luke 22:43
Aw yeah. Did you catch that? Heh, maybe a lil' background will help. In verse 43, my man J is prayin' to the father saying if Pops be willing, please take this cup, but His will be done. Yup, this is that fateful night when my man J gets arrested and goes through the worst treatment ever, including the horrible means of execution known as crucifixion. The stuff was just about to hit the fan. Imagine you were J at that very moment. You know what's about to take place, how much pain you're about to go through, how much betrayal you're about to face (especially from Peter!)... wouldn't you be feeling a little anxious? Oh yeah. Wouldn't you hope that there might be another way? Uh huh. no doubt.
So J is in this garden. He's praying. He's sweating. He's nervous. He's scared. Two things happened. One, he said let the Father's will be done. The second, an angel was sent to strengthen him. My bruthaz and sistaz, we may come across a path someday that will be tremendously difficult. And in our minds, we may not want to walk that path. But deep down we will know that it is the path Pops would like us to take. Why? For numerous reasons we may not be ready to even understand or capable to understand. But rest assured potnas! Pops will never leave or forsake ya! NO WAY NO HOW! If we roll with Pops, and put our trust in him, he will carry us through. And, no matter the struggle, he will send one or two to strengthen you and to encourage you.
The take away? Let's engage Pops in the highest levels and accomplish things far greater than we could ever simply by rolling with Pops. And know that he will strengthen you to take you all the way.
Aiight potans, gotta bounce and make some calls! PeACE!
