And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

Words of Jesus
And preach as you go, saying, `The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying, give without pay.  Take no gold, nor silver, nor copper in your belts, no bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the laborer deserves his food. And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it, and stay with him until you depart. As you enter the house, salute it. And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
Matthew 10: 7 – 13
 
No one can live without delight, and that is why a man deprived of spiritual joy goes over to carnal pleasures.
— St Thomas Aquinas
 
Abba, Father, Lord God, ever thankful, but never so as when with my love ones; I try to feel each blessing, but one of the things I ask is for the wisdom and understanding to know and practice what Jesus teaches us today. That when I come across a house not worthy of the peace I seek, that my peace may return to me confident in Jesus, His love, His truths, and that He has overcome, and in and through Him I too can rise above those houses found unworthy under the sun. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
 
 
Audio books I am listening to and other books or readings I am reading:
Heaven Is Real: Lessons on Earthly Joy – from the Man Who Spent 90 Minutes in Heaven (Unabridged) On January 18th 1989, Don Piper died in a car accident. Ninety minutes later, after a preacher prayed over him, Piper came back to life with an extraordinary story. He’d been to heaven. So began the phenomenon of 90 Minutes in Heaven.
Revolution: Finding Vibrant Faith Beyond the Walls of the Sanctuary (Unabridged) World-renowned pollster George Barna has the numbers, and they indicate a revolution is already taking place within the Church: one that will impact every believer in America. For leaders working for positive change in the church, and for believers struggling to find a spiritual community and worship experience that resonates, Revolution is here. Are you ready?
