"For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant,
and as a root out of a dry ground:
he hath no form nor comeliness;
and when we shall see him,
there is no beauty that we should desire him.”
(Isaiah 53:2, KJV)

"My servant grew up in the Lord’s presence
like a tender green shoot,
like a root in dry ground.
There was nothing beautiful or majestic
about his appearance,
nothing to attract us to him."
(Isaiah 53:2, NLT)


Prompt: Would we be able to pick out Jesus in a crowd,
if we were walking past Him on the street?"

I honestly do not believe we would be able to recognize Him. I think we would be looking for somebody who looks like the images we have that portray Jesus and I do not believe those images are Him. I believe He would show up in jeans and a t-shirt or as the homeless addict on the street. At any rate, it would be something we would never expect.

"Prompt: I was cruising the galaxy with Lukeskywalker and found this planet:
Read this item: "Take Me to Wonderland (ASR)"

Invalid Item  This item number is not valid. #2243132 by Not Available.

Write about Wonderland from this poem."

I don't have to go to Wonderland to find a world like that. All I have to do is look at society. A lot of things don't make sense in society as we blur the lines between right and wrong and the definitions of this and that. I was just reading online the other night where a male athlete that identifies as a woman competed in an all female race and set a new woman's world record. Naturally the runner set a new world record for women in the sport because he is not a woman! Biologically he is a man. He has a young man's muscles, adrenaline, and other things going for him that women do not have. He may identify himself as a woman but just because I identify as a bird does not mean I am build to fly like one.

Day 2998: February 1, 2021

I found my Serenity Journal, when I was cleaning out a container. Since this is the first day of a new month, I'm posting a quote from that journal.

Prompt: "There is a quiet, serene confidence in knowing that all things do not stand or fall according to one's own achievements or the correctness of every decision one makes." Joseph A. Sittler

What does this quote mean to you? How do you find moments of serenity in your day, week, or month?

I find moments of serenity based on my faith. I believe that God is ultimately in control and that He makes everything work out for the best for those who trust Him.

"Prompt: The unbelievable: Is there something that you have trouble believing in and why is it unbelievable? Has anyone ever tried to convince you to believe in this or in any other thing that you can’t believe in?"

I have had people try to convince me that I was crazy before. It worked for a while.
