PALM SUNDAY

Palm Sunday 2026

God-Man's Triumphal Entry

3 Churches in 3 different states......NC,TN, TX......all with the same message of Jesus Christ!

Hallelujah! 

A-MEN!

SATURDAY SHORT!

Do you want to be Without  Fear?
Don't let fear floor you!

Without  Fear = eyes off circumstances!

"Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in His wonderful face that the things of this world will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace."

Floor the fear, today! Step on it!! Squash it!!!

Don't let it floor you!!

KEEP ON SINGING!

Keep on singing!?!? How does one do that in the midst of tragedy?

Turn your eyes upon Jesus

Look fun in His wonderful face

And the things of earth will grow strangely dim

In the light of his glory and grace 

Refrain:
O yes, He cares- I know He cares!
His heart is touched with my grief;
When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,
I know my Savior cares.

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent word!

“Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,

For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;

“When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;

“When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;

That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no, never, no, never forsake!

Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow---It's what I'm finding in hymns of old as I pray for others. 

Dance Plans

4/26/10 If I’ve learned anything these last few months, it’s that my “dance” is His plan, not mine. Jesus Calling, these last few days, has certainly reminded me of that. The dance is empowered by Him. I’m just to respond to His lead rather that trying to make life’s dance fit my plans. My compulsive planning can cause missteps along the way. When my mind spins with multitudinous thoughts I cannot follow His lead---I can’t hear His still small voice. Is it fear that manifests itself in my excessive planning? Isn’t unbelief the root of all fear?

Yesterday’s Jesus Calling entry (4/25) reminded me to make the Lord my focal point as I moved (danced) through each day. Maybe others need reminding too. The only way for a spinning ballerina to keep her balance is to keep returning her eyes to her immovable focal point.

Certainly our world/circumstances continue to whirl around us and we, too, need to focus on the One who is the constant in our lives. That way our steps are steady and sure---because we are focused on Him and His plan for us instead of our own plans.
As I typed this I could hear my Mama Davenport’s squeaky little voice humming this old but still familiar hymn:

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
 Look full in His wonderful face,
 And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
 In the light of His glory and grace

So with His plan to think about, think on this verse as you “dance” through your day. Please note parenthetical paraphrases are just my THOTS on this verse.

Let us (that’s you, Dotsy) also lay aside every encumbrance (my role of trying to plan and lead the dance) and the sin (my compulsive, excessive planning) which so easily entangles us, and let us run (dance) with endurance (His strength) the race (His dance plan) that is set before us, (Dotsy)
2fixing our (my) eyes on Jesus, (my partner who leads me in the dance) the author and perfecter of faith, (faith = belief) (Hebrews 1b-2a)
