139:4.10
John had a cool and daring courage which few of the other apostles possessed. He was the one apostle who followed right along with Jesus the night of his arrest and dared to accompany his Master into the very jaws of death. He was present and near at hand right up to the last earthly hour and was found faithfully carrying out his trust with regard to Jesus’ mother and ready to receive such additional instructions as might be given during the last moments of the Master’s mortal existence. One thing is certain, John was thoroughly dependable. John usually sat on Jesus’ right hand when the twelve were at meat. He was the first of the twelve really and fully to believe in the resurrection, and he was the first to recognize the Master when he came to them on the seashore after his resurrection.

Time it Takes
The grays of Winter rule today.
Wispy whites and blacks displayed
Intermixed to finest grays.
Good spirits brighten up these days!

Open hearts and open minds
Promote a world that is Divine!
The Kennedys were too good for us.
Were they the last ones we could trust?

To lead us in the Divine way
All we can do is vote and pray?
Can’t we see who’s good among us?
They must lead us, or we’ll plummet.

To promote the status quo.
We must increase our Spirit flow!
Or we will lose the goals we seek.
Everyone on earth’s unique!

If everybody tried to help –
Contribute to the common wealth,
Wars would be no more, no more
And God, not self, we would adore!

That appears a long way off.
But time will pay whatever the cost.
And then this world will rock ‘n’ roll.
Peace will reign and fill our souls.

One can live this peace right now.
Devote yourself to pull God’s plow.
Look inside to see what you
Are being called to truly do.

Find a way to reflect that.
And try to make that role your act.
Visualize what could be best
It’s realization is your quest!

Thank You Father, much to do.
My inner life I share with You.
Help me be much more like You
And learn from You when You give clues.
