It’s like the work done on various Television programmes. Take one run down house or barn crying out for restoration, or a few rooms of a house in desperate need of decoration, or the Vicarage kitchen in need of a refit! Jesus takes us as we are, however run-down, how ever messy our lives might be,

POWER AND "KING OF THE HILL"
When I was a kid, we used to play a game called "King of the Hill." Everyone would get together and choose some place to be the "hill." Sometimes we were lucky enough to have a dirt mound to play on, but not very often. It might be a bed or a sofa, unless, of course,

What Have We Learned?
They shouted with praises, reaching the sky,
Pushing and shoving to see Jesus pass by.
Crying, “Hosanna, glory to the King!’
He comes to us today, great joy He doth bring."
They threw down palm leaves, covering the way,
Making a clear path for Him to travel that
