THE NAPKIN
The master of the house sat down to his meal. As the courses were served, the servents would clear the table as the guests finished eating.  During the meal however, the master of the house, folding his napkin and placing it aside his plate, left the room for a period of time.  A new

                    Let’s look at what Dr. C. Truman Davis*  wrote about the price Jesus paid for this indescribable gift 
(2 Cor. 9:15):
After the arrest in the middle of the night, Jesus was brought before the Sanhedrin and Caiphus, the High Priest; it is here that the first physical trauma was inflicted. A soldier

                    Let me share astory about the folded up cloth that was e-mailed to me this week: Why did Jesus fold the napkin? An unusual approach to a biblical story. Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection? I used to ask this question and other Bible Scholars did not know the answer.

He was 50 years old when I was born, and a "Mr. Mom" long before anyone had a name for it. I didn’t know why he was home instead of Mom, but I was young and the only one of my friends who had their dad around. I considered myself very lucky.
Dad did so many things

                    This really illustrates the point of God’s Provision and how He works through us.  I go to the grocery store and get a pie.  You will have to try which one works best for you.  I like to use apple or the frozen kind that leaves lots of left over crumbs and pieces in the bottom of the pan.
