Text for the Day -- Mark 14:26-31 ---------- When they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
And Jesus said to them, 'You will all become deserters; for it is written, "I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered." But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.' Peter said to him, 'Even though all become deserters, I will not.' Jesus said to him, 'Truly I tell you, this day, this very night, before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times.' But he said vehemently, 'Even though I must die with you, I will not deny you.' And all of them said the same.
Devotional ---------- In the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus warns the disciples that they will soon flee from him, but will join with them later. No doubt they did not understand completely what Jesus was saying to them. Perhaps they had forgotten how vulnerable and weak they were without Jesus, the Shepherd. Perhaps they had forgotten just how much like sheep we all are, desperately in need of a Shepherd.
Prayer ---------------- I commit myself to follow where you lead, Lord. Amen

I'm not 100% sold on the shroud, I do however believe that God sent Jesus to die for our sins and rise on the 3rd day.I hope the shroud is authentic, if it isn't my faith isn't shaken. What os interesting is that thoe world continues to follow a man who lived 2000 years ago. Notre Dame in Paris claims to have the crown of thorns, I'm not 100% sold on that one either, safe money is on the Bible and my focus, right or wrong, is The New Testament. I hope everyone has a great day!
Amen!!

Text for the Day -- I Chronicles 11:1-3 ---------- Then all Israel gathered together to David at Hebron and said, 'See, we are your bone and flesh. For some time now, even while Saul was king, it was you who commanded the army of Israel. The Lord your God said to you: It is you who shall be shepherd of my people Israel, you who shall be ruler over my people Israel.' So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord. And they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord by Samuel.
Devotional ---------- In the Old Testament, the king was looked on as a shepherd, one who leads, cares for and protects the people. The king was to mirror the image of God in the covenant relationship. God took responsibility to lead, heal, support and create freedom for God's people. Many kings were a great disappointment in this role. Ultimately Jesus came to be the model of leadership as a shepherd.
Prayer --------------- Encourage me in my trust of the great Shepherd, Jesus, dear Lord. Amen

His tail feathers are slightly longer in the middle showing he is a young 2 year old bird. Skinny beard and no spurs got him a pass. The video was twice as long and showed him walking away. I guess Imgur only allows one minute videos

I was wrong.. he came back and stayed in the decoys for 15 minutes. He is a young bird…, you can tell by his fan he is barely out of the Jake stage. I could not make out any spurs on him…
I passed him
He went out aways and puffed up again. Then two longbeards and a Jake (I think) across the cut and chased him all over the opposite side of the field. They all finally went into the woods. I don't know why they chased him and not pick on the stuffer?
Yep, I would have shot one of the two Longbeard bullies!

LOL... once he got by me he made a right and crossed the ditch at the farmers crossing cut. That would have out him 15 yards from where I had the blind previously. I outfoxed myself with the move. 🤣
