How Jesus Wants to Change the World

As this year closes, I share this exerpt from a book I’ve not read. Just tonight at Scott McKnight’s blog Jesus Creed he refers to the book, Kingdom Come: How Jesus Wants to Change the World by Allen Mitsuo Wakabayshi.

In reading the first chapter offered by Amazon as a look inside it reverberates my feelings that God is up to something ‘really big’ (Who said that, Jackie Gleason in the Honeymooners?).

This year and before, I’ve been trying to get my pea brain to have a better understanding about what Jesus meant we spoke of the ‘The Kingdom of God’. I’m not there yet. In fact I have a long way to go.

Do yourself a favor and follow the link. Happy New Year!

An Irish Christmas Blessing


An Irish Christmas Blessing


The light of the Christmas star to you
The warmth of home and hearth to you
The cheer and good will of friends to you
The hope of a childlike heart to you
The joy of a thousand angels to you
The love of the Son and God's peace to you.
