This is one of my favorite scriptures and I've wanted it in tattoo form for years. I finally found a beautiful sparrow to go with it. I love the way it turned out.
On Saturday night, we had a bit of snow and a lot of wind. Sunday morning, the snow was still on the street. While it wasn’t much, we’d had 3 vehicles lose control on the very steep hill we live on during the last snowfall, so we decided not to chance driving to church. Instead, we held church at home. Molly led the scripture reading.

The examination system of debating Buddhist scriptures in the Tibetan Buddhist temple schooling is a unique method for teaching and testing.
The science of cartography – making maps – developed extensively during the early modern period. Trade, colonial expansion, and piracy alike all benefitted from the increasing accuracy of maps and of the navigational tools used to read them and to plot routes. This interest is reflected in the maps of the Holy Land that we find in early modern Bibles. Readers wanted to locate important locations like Jerusalem and the Red Sea or to plot, for example, the route of Moses and the Jews into exile as described in Exodus.

This map from John Speed's book of biblical chronologies is similar to maps found in some copies of the Bishop's Bible. It includes a large amount of detail, including place names, positions of camps, armies, battles, and holy sites. In the bottom left hand corner we can see the Israelites crossing the Red Sea and the top left inset is a more detailed map of Jerusalem including Mount Calvary and the three crosses.

This is my beautiful daughter-in-law, Joni, meditation on some writings during the Presentsense event at our church.
"Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life…” John 6:68
MEDITATION
“…When you don’t understand something that Jesus teaches, you can still trust that the Father is drawing you to Himself. He is still sparking the desire in you to love his Son, and He is offering you the grace to embrace Jesus’ words, which are “Spirit and life” (John 6:63). Don’t turn away like the disciples in today’s reading. Keep pressing in, as Peter did, until you can freely say, “Master, to whom shall I go? You have the words of eternal life” (6:68).”
PRAYER
“Thank You, Jesus, that the Father has paved the way for me to come to You! Help me to respond to His Grace.”

Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also wish to go away?" Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the Words of eternal Life; and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God." ~ John 6:67-69
MEDITATION
“... Jesus knew what a hard saying HIS words about the Eucharist were going to be for some. HE also knows what will be difficult for you. So come to HIM and Trust that HE will give you insight, one step at a time.”
PRAYER
“Lord, I believe! Help me to understand YOUR ‘hard’ sayings.”

MEDITATION
“…the words we have from Jesus in Scripture and through the Church aren’t just ancient history. They are a personal message that God addresses to each one of us this very day. They are meant to deepen our friendship every time we read them. Even if we don’t fully understand them, as the Twelve certainly didn’t (John 6:60), we can linger over HIS Words and let them sink into our hearts. Because every Word is part of a Love letter that the Holy Spirit longs to write on our hearts each and every day.”
“Jesus, open my ears to the Words YOU are speaking to me today!”
