Sunday Musings | Palm Sunday
On Palm
Sunday, we remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem as a great multitude
spread their clothes and palm branches on the road before Him and cried out,
“Hosanna in the highest.” He rode into the city on a young donkey that his
disciples retrieved from a nearby village. This scene is recorded in all four
gospels: Matthew 21:1-11, Mark 11:1-10, Luke 19:28-40, and John 12:12-16.
But long before this day that began what we now call Holy Week, it was prophesied in Zechariah 9:9 that the King would come “humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” In fact, Jesus fulfilled hundreds of prophesies recorded in the Old Testament. As we head into this week, let’s marvel at the realization of this prophecy and the many others that foretold of the Messiah, and let us proclaim with the multitudes, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

Sunday Musings | The Book of Jude
If you want to read an entire book of the Bible quickly, start with the book of Jude. It's only 25 verses long. Yes, that's right, verses, not chapters.
It's short, but this book packs in several important lessons as Jude writes to Christians and wishes them mercy, peace, and love in multitude.
Jude originally intended to write about salvation; however, he felt he instead needed to write about contending for the faith and warning that false teachers would subtly creep in.
He goes on to describe the characteristics of false teachers (lack of faith, rebellious, immoral, disobedient, greedy, etc) before reminding his readers to maintain their life with the Lord by learning and studying the truth, praying, abiding in the Lord, and waiting with confidence that we will not be judged for what has been forgiven.
He ends with a praise, giving glory to God.
What are you waiting for? Grab a Bible and read through this meaningful book today!

Scrapbooking | More Pandemic Pages
Persnickety Prints is continuing to offer free printable coronavirus timelines this year. Honestly, I'm hoping these will be filled with better news and statistics now that there are several vaccines being administered around the world.
I included the final six months of 2020 timelines on a two-page spread (similar to the first six months) in last year's scrapbook. I used bits & pieces from my stash for the embellishments.
I also included a digital layout with the thoughts I shared on Ruth's blog back in the fall, along with several photos and screenshots.
