Good morning, happy Thursday, and blessings.

On the list of frustrating things, heavy traffic ranks pretty high. And drivers who don’t signal, don’t look, won’t move over, cut people off, speed, tailgate, go too slow, or drive incredibly noisy or incredibly large vehicles rank among the world’s most frustrating people.

Good morning, happy Tuesday, and blessings.   In today’s gospel (John 6:30-35) Jesus tell us; I AM” …the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”   Few questions come to my mind: What does it mean that Christ is the bread of life? What do people all over the world spend most of their time and energy doing? What are the barest necessities of life?

Good morning, happy Thursday, and blessings.

The disciples of John the Baptist came to him and reported that (John 3:26) "all are coming to Him [Jesus]." The comments by the disciples imply that they were unhappy with this. John the Baptist used the occasion to exalt Christ and to once again clarify that he was not the Christ. The Baptist declared (John 2:30), "He [Jesus] must increase, but I must decrease." This event gave rise to the words of our text.
