Third Sunday in Lent

Sacred Space

 

 

The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. Making a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. He told those who were selling the doves, “Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father’s house a marketplace!” His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.” The Jews then said to him, “What sign can you show us for doing this?” Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews then said, “This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?” But he was speaking of the temple of his body. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken. 

John 2:13-22

We should not be simply fighting evil in the name of good,

but struggling against the certainties of people who claim always

to know where good and evil are to be found.

~ Tzvetan Todorov

 

 

 

 

We rise by lifting others.

George Bye, Founder and CEO of Bye Aerospace, Inc., along with our own Matt McLaurin,

made an exciting presentation at Rotary on Friday about their aircraft powered by an electric propulsion system.

Bye Aerospace is headquartered in Denver.

 

"The Sun Flyer is powered by an electric propulsion system.  Lithium Ion batteries [5th generation] run the electric propulsion system, which directly drives the composite propeller.  Engine performance is controlled by an electronic control unit which ensures optimal use of the energy stored in the batteries.”
