"In this new life, it doesn't matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us."
I had no webbing just lying around, so I wanted to use this wide(ish) pink ribbon. But then I wasn't sure it would be strong enough, so I folded in another strip of jeans and sewed the ribbon over the seam. I rock. :)
I used the pattern from here:

Capernaum:
Also known as Tell Hum, Khirbet Karazeh, Bethsaida, Capharnaum, Chorazin, Kefar Nahum, Kafarnaum, Kefar Tanhum, Talhum, Tanhum
In existence from the 2nd c. B.C. to the 7th c. A.D., Capernaum was built along the edge of the Sea of Galilee and had up to 1500 residents.
Today the ruins are owned by two churches: the Franciscans control the western portion with the synagogue and the Greek Orthodox’s property is marked by the white church with red domes.
Jesus made Capernaum his home during the years of his ministry: “Leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum” (Matt 4:13).
Peter, Andrew, James and John were fishermen living in the village. Matthew the tax collector also dwelt here.
Capernaum is one of the three cities cursed by Jesus for its lack of faith.
The Synagogue
The dating of this synagogue is debated, but it is clearly later than the first century. Excavations have revealed a synagogue from the time of Jesus with walls made of worked stone and 4 feet thick.
These earlier walls were preserved up to 3 feet high and the entire western wall still exists and was used as the foundation for the later synagogue.
Jesus was confronted by a demoniac while teaching here (Mark 1:21-27).
In Capernaum, Jesus healed the servant of the centurion. This Roman official was credited with building the synagogue (Luke 7:3).
In this synagogue, Jesus gave sermon on the bread of life (John 6:35-59).
The House of Peter
Excavations revealed one residence that stood out from the others. This house was the object of early Christian attention with 2nd century graffiti and a 4th century house church built above it. In the 5th century a large octagonal Byzantine church was erected above this, complete with a baptistery. Pilgrims referred to this as the house of the ap

Pali Chanting in 2006 and the forthcoming Pali Tipitaka Recitation in 2008.
In 2006, Maha Bodhi Society of India made elaborate arrangements to celebrate the 2550th Buddha Jayanti that marks Sakyamuni Buddha's Birth, Enlightenment and Mahaparinirvana (passing away).
The year-long programme was started from Kolkota, or formerly Calcutta, where Anagarika Dhammapala, the founder of the Society launched and steered the Buddhist revival movement 115 years ago.
A 3-day ‘International Conference on Humanism’ was held from January 7-9 at Science City, Kolkota. The conference saw a huge participation of delegates from all spheres of life.
The Buddha Jayanti celebrations were carried forward through a week-long celebration at Buddhagya from February 13th to 19th, 2006. The Inaugural ceremony was held at Kalchakra Maidan in Buddhagaya. The month-long Tripitaka chanting was also inaugurated at the sacred Maha Bodhi tree in Maha Bodhi Vihara, Buddhagaya. A number of seminars were organized including the International Buddhist Seminar, International Homoeopathic Seminar, Inter-Religious Conference and International Buddhist Cultural programme at Kalchakra Maidan in Buddha Gaya.
Thus, the most historic of all the Maha Bodhi Society acitivities was the revival of Tipitaka's Pali Chanting. The most important practice in the Theravada tradition would now be organised annually during February.
Now that in 2007 the World Tipitaka Edition in Roman script was presented and permaently enshrined in the Maha Bodhi Society Temple, Dhamma Society has made a full support for the forthcoming 2008 Pali Tipitaka Recitation among international lay devotees.
These pictures of past chating activities 2006 are from Maha Bodhi Society of India.

I cut out scripture and words that inspire me and tape them all over my house. This was on the doorframe of my kitchen and it started get a little ragged so my hubby asked it I could take it down. I agreed, but I told him I would replace it with something new. So I took a pic of it before I removed it. I hope it gives you peace like it did for me.
My 6 year old trying to help my five year old read the scriptures. It was such a beautiful moment, I had to capture it. :)
Our family motto for 2012 comes from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. This is our goal for this year: to be more joyful, to pray more often, and to give thanks always.

The Wise and Foolish Builders
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
[Matthew 7:24-29 NIV]
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!
Caesarea Philippi:
Also known as Baal-gad, Banias, Baniyas, Banyas, Barias, Belinas, Caesarea Neronias, Caesarea of Philip, Caesarea Paneas, Caesarea Panias, Caesareia Sebaste, Keisarion, Kisrin, Medinat Dan, Mivzar Dan, Neronias, Pamias, Paneas, Paneias, Paneion, Panias, Panium
Situated 25 miles north of the Sea of Galilee and at the base of Mt. Hermon, Caesarea Philippi is the location of one of the largest springs feeding the Jordan River.
This abundant water supply has made the area very fertile and attractive for religious worship. Numerous temples were built at this city in the Hellenistic and Roman periods.
Apparently known as Baal Hermon and Baal Gad in the Old Testament period, this site later was named Panias after the Greek god Pan who was worshiped here.
There is no record of Jesus entering the city, but the great confession and the transfiguration both occurred in the vicinity of the city (Matt 16:13), then known as Caesarea Philippi.
Grotto of Pan:
The spring emerged from the large cave which became the center of pagan worship. Beginning in the 3rd century B.C., sacrifices were cast into the cave as offerings to the god Pan.
Pan, the half-man half-goat god of fright (thus “panic”), is often depicted playing the flute. This city, which was known in ancient times as Panias, is now called by the Arabic form of this name, Banias.
Sacred Niches:
Adjacent to the sacred cave is a rocky escarpment with a series of hewn niches. We know that statues of the deity were placed in these niches by depictions of such on coins of the city.
One niche housed a sculpture of Echo, the mountain nymph and Pan’s consort. Another niche housed a statue of Pan’s father, Hermes, son of nymph Maia. Inscriptions in the niches mention those who gave large donations.
I decided to put my very first pictures with Scripture on flickr. To date I have made over 1,000 of them, however the first 200-300 were never shared on flickr prior to now.
The Kuthodaw Pagoda or Maha Lawka Marazein Paya (Royal Merit Pagoda) was built by King Mindon Min (reigned 1852-1878). He was concerned about the invading British and what their presence in Burma would mean for Buddhist teachings and had the entire 15 books of the Tripitaka, the sacred scriptures of Theravada Buddhism, inscribed in gold on huge marble tablets.
