Of the Week

Author: Jonathan Ashurst Date: October 9, 2012 Fresh-cut wood, Like cedar or pine, A brand new book With a brand new spine; Breezes at the seaside, Cool mountain air, Chocolate smells good Anywhere. Oven rolls  with apple pies, Fresh green grass u nder bright blue skies. Clean linen sheets, October hay, Home sweet home after b eing away.

Preacher: Jesus Location: Galilee Text: Matthew 5-7 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of  heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: ...

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of G...

Words:  Katharina Amalia Dorothea von Schlegel (1752) Translation: Jane Laurie Borthwick (1855) Music:  Jean Sibelius (1899) Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side; Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; Leave to thy God to order and provide; In every change He faithful will remain. Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heavenly Friend Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end. Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake To guide the future, as He has the past. Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake; All now mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know His voice Who ruled them while He dwelt below. Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart, And all is darkened in the vale of tears, Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart, Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears. Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay From His own fullness all He takes away. Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on Whe...

"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31

I plan to do the "of the weeks" each Friday at 1:23:45 P.M., pertaining to the current week of Sunday-Saturday. The "of the weeks" are mostly based on personal preference. The "of the weeks" do not  necessarily  pertain to current events. Unless otherwise noted, all Scripture quotations are from the King James Version. The current background is Among the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California by Albert Bierstadt.

Welcome to my blog called  Of the Week. In this blog, I will (Lord willing) post something "of" every week:  something of the week. It might be a verse, a picture, a painting, a download, a website, a tip, a quote, a fact, a video, a song, a historical person, a grammar rule, an "on this day," a story, a link, an idea—the list goes on and on. But whatever it is, it is, at least according to me, the "whatever" of that week. Basically,  Of the Week will feature some thing each week: the "of the week." So get ready for "of the week" by mark!
