And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. (2 Cor. 9:8)
Well, I completed the Philadelphia MS Walk yesterday, the first time in 14 years of attending the event but never walking (LOL). Thanks to my son’s encouragement, I walked; my legs began dragging a bit and I felt it afterward, but I walked the entire 1 mile. Thank the Lord!
My family and friends made it an exciting day and extra special; first time too organizing a team. These are all the great wonders God does in our lives when our dreams are shattered, and we don’t understand why. If we just keep on walking with Him, He brings perspective, a smile, and strength.
Thanks to all my subscribers who supported me!
Here are some pics and videos of the fantastic day we had. Be blessed until next time folks… 🙂
A song that rang in my ear during my childhood; I loved hearing the pastor and congregation singing it. Pastor wasn’t a singer but you knew how much he loved this song by the way he bobbed his head and moved his legs while singing it. 🙂 It still reverberates in my spirit today at 62—At Calvary.
“Calvary,” or Golgotha was a site immediately outside Jerusalem’s walls where, according to Christianity’s four gospels, Jesus was crucified. Interestingly to me, there is a similarly spelled word “cavalry.” It denotes a unit of troops on horseback summoned for war. This group of soldiers is trained to fight and can be quickly deployed in a war. It was God, the Father, who summoned and deployed Jesus for calvary in this war for human souls. Jesus was the troop, the only war hero who fought to the death and won the battle to bring us to God.
At Calvary
Years I spent in vanity and pride Caring not my Lord was crucified Knowing not it was for me He died On Calvary
[Refrain] Mercy there was great, and grace was free Pardon, there, was multiplied to me There my burdened soul found liberty At Calvary
By God’s word at last my sin I learned Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned Till my guilty soul imploring turned To Calvary
[Refrain] Mercy there was great, and grace was free Pardon, there, was multiplied to me There my burdened soul found liberty At Calvary
Now I’ve given Jesus everything Now I gladly know him as my King Now my raptured soul can only sing Of Calvary!
[Refrain] Mercy there was great, and grace was free Pardon, there, was multiplied to me There my burdened soul found liberty At Calvary
O, the love that drew salvation’s plan O, the grace that brought it down to man O, the mighty gulf that God did span At Calvary
[Refrain] Mercy there was great, and grace was free Pardon, there, was multiplied to me There my burdened soul found liberty At Calvary

As this song tells us, Jesus’ death grants us unlimited mercy, grace, pardon, and freedom. Oh, and three days later, after this war at Calvary, Jesus got up from His grave; He’s the only war hero who ever did. Death couldn’t hold Him down. Wow! Jesus Christ is alive! Receive Him into your life now.
