Baptism of the Lord

 


Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him. John would have prevented him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?" But Jesus answered him, "Let it be so now; for it is proper for us in this way to fulfill all righteousness." Then he consented. And when Jesus had been baptized, just as he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased."

fear disappears and abundance appears.

Our Rotary Club had an interesting tour of St. Anthony Hospital and OrthoColorado Hospital in Lakewood.

It opened in 2011 and is a state-of-the-art medical campus.

 

 

We went out on the helipad and also used the

fastest elevator in Denver.

I was fascinated by these tracks in the snow across the lake.

Some critter made them a while back and, when some of the snow melted,

the compressed snow made by the tracks remained as little

mounds above the rest of the snow.

Cool.

 

 

 

 

 

The Work of Christmas Begins
by Howard Thurman

 

When the song of the angels is stilled, 
When the star in the sky is gone, 
When the kings and princes are home, 
When the shepherds are back with their flock, 
The Work of Christmas begins:

To find the lost, 
To heal the broken, 
To feed the hungry, 
To release the prisoner, 
To rebuild the nations, 
To bring peace among brothers and sisters, 
To make music in the heart.
