* This Do In Remembrance Of Me *
Greetings and blessings! “Then He (Jesus) took the bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave to them (Apostles), saying, ‘This My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’’’ (Luke 22:19). And in (1 Corinthian 11:25), it refers to the cup or wine where Jesus says, “This cup/wine is a new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, you do in remembrance of me.” It was Jesus’ blood that was shed for the forgiveness of our sin. (Read Matthew 26:28).
So, today I come with the finality of a series of deep enlightenment on the biblical and spiritual significant of Jesus’s death, burial, resurrection and ascension into Heaven. I certainly pray that you’ll gain perhaps some or more knowledge of the amazing, more so, the divine crucifixion of our Lord, and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

So, today I come with the finality of a series of deep enlightenment on the biblical and spiritual significant of Jesus’s death, burial, resurrection and ascension into Heaven. I certainly pray that you’ll gain perhaps some or more knowledge of the amazing, more so, the divine crucifixion of our Lord, and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
However, nowadays, little if any details are mentioned in church communions now as to the essentiality of why we do this remembrance memorial. But in contrast, I remember very well when preachers took extreme effort and endless time. And perhaps for some, maybe too long, teaching about the significant, the reason and seriousness for this sacred memorial of Jesus’ sacrificial death.
In fact, I remember, personally being scared to and scared not to partake. Therefore, in my studies, it tells that on the night Jesus died, He shared a Passover meal with His apostles, during the meal, Jesus gave fresh meaning to the bread and wine, identifying it as symbols of His impending (upcoming) death.
The taking of the bread and cup/wine proclaims the Lord’s death. It is taught that believers participate in the body and blood of Christ.
Therefore, as modern Christians, we should; Participate faithfully whenever we gather for the Supper; Prepare through repentance and reconciliation; Engage mind and heart-recall the cross, anticipate the crown; Invite unbelievers to observe and hear the gospel embodied; Live the remembrance daily. “Do This In Remembrance Of Me” commands ongoing, communal, Christ-centered remembrance that looks back to Calvary, and unites believer in present grace. And again, Christ himself originates and commands the practice, placing it at the heart of Christians worship (Act 2:42). Please take this memorial seriously. So let us examine ourselves and not drink damnation to our soul! Read 1 Corinthian 11:28. Thank You Lord!

Value of a Child’s Life
When did using a phone become more important than a child’s life?
It was midafternoon one day late last week and I was in the front yard watering Theresa’s flowers.
School buses were taking children home. Whenever school buses pass by and I am outside, I wave at the drivers and they inevitably wave back. For what those drivers get paid, and the tremendous responsibility they shoulder on a daily basis, they truly deserve our admiration and appreciation. I suspect they rarely receive either.
There are two school buses that come by and drop off children each afternoon. The first one passed, the driver and I exchanged waves, and two houses along it stopped to unload a child.
My Age Doesn’t Matter But Getting Old Does
Well, it’s that time of year again, as much as I hate to admit it, I will soon be another year older. Don’t ask my age because it really doesn’t matter and I’m not sure I remember any way. It’s been a lot of years since my mother brought me into this world and that is the one thing I do know and assure I can feel.
Each day brings a new surprise. As a kid I loved surprises because usually it meant you were going to get something good. Now, I’m surprised every day when I wake and feel a new pain somewhere in my body. After a little while, you just get used to it and go on about your business.
About the only good thing I know about growing old is that all my dark secrets are safe with my friends. That’s because not one of them can remember those secrets.
Music Can Bring Back Some Painful Memories
When I am driving around in my car, I like to listen to satellite radio. My preferences shift from the great radio shows of the past to the best music ever, that from the 1970s.
Your mileage may vary on that “best music” comment but it’s my column so I can say it’s the best music.
I started working in radio in 1976, spinning the hits at WLAG-AM in LaGrange and later at WTRP-AM, where I’ve remained in one billet or another since. Later this year, in fact, I will celebrate 50 years in broadcasting. Those early years were probably the best … and, on reflection, the music was the best and the worst.
Listening to the hits of the 1970s takes me back, back to high school (I graduated in 1975) and, as mentioned, my first years in radio. There are very, very few songs from that time period that I don’t like to listen to, and one of them was at one time a real favorite.
