The need for more blood donations is growing daily. Your blood donation is essential to keep the blood supply strong and steady. Without on-going donors, we cannot ensure people have the blood they need.
We’re asking you to come in and donate! The need is real. The need is now.
Although Epiphany was on the 6th, it is good to celebrate it.
Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.
Isaiah 60:1 (esv)
We remember the Magi who searched for God’s King. We celebrate Jesus being the Light of the world. We celebrate that, even when we may want to be invisible, we are also Called to be His lights.
We praise and thank the Lord that He is still reigning on the Throne of Grace, even amidst uncertainties and unknowns.

Typically the Sunday after Christmas is…not well attended.
Lord, I am your servant, and now I can die in peace, because you have kept your promise to me. With my own eyes I have seen what you have done to save your people, and foreign nations will also see this. Your mighty power is a light for all nations, and it will bring honor to your people Israel.
Luke 2:29-32 (cev)
It seems anticlimactic and the excitement of Christmas is over.
Perhaps it seemed that way for Mary & Joseph, too.
The shepherds were gone, the birth has happened and now comes…regular life.
But the coming of Jesus gives us a different take on Life.
As Simeon said soon after Jesus’ birth, he can now go in peace having seen God’s salvation in Jesus!
Wow!
That is exciting! That is meaningful! That is LIFE!
Thanks You, Lord!
Let us now, also, depart in the peace that comes from Jesus!
