“Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see.
    For the glory of the Lord rises to shine on you.
2 Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth,
    but the glory of the Lord rises and appears over you.
3 All nations will come to your light;
    mighty kings will come to see your radiance." Isaiah 60:1-3

God will transform His people’s (Christ-Followers’) destiny from the darkness as black as night caused by sin.

The transformation of all nations and might kings (presidents and world leaders) will be so radical that all kingdoms will take notice and be drawn to God through his people. (The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the world will enter the city in all their glory. - Revelation 21:24)

In Isaiah, Zion is a theological name for Jerusalem, the city of God. Zion symbolizes God’s presence and protection for his people, their resilience and victory against enemies, and the resulting peace. Zion is a place of security, tranquility and rest. In essence Zion is wherever God and His people are. Zion proclaims the good news that God comes to redeem His people and bring them back to His presence.

Zion also has a moral dimension. Because the Lord is already present among His people, they must live according to His ways. Chief characteristics of the Lord’s city are trust, justice, righteousness, and commitment. The Lord does not tolerate impurity, idolatry, injustice, ore unrighteousness.

God is in control of history (past, present & future) and He weaves together all our lives into His plan. Even is the wake of all the recent world events God is in control. And with that we can find peace!

Be blessed and be a blessing. Tell someone about the goodness of God.

Travel Adventures 2023

Travel Adventures 2023 – So many places to go! This year my husband and I traveled to Reno, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park. I took lots of pictures but could only choose a few for this blog. I’ve included a little information about each location we visited, along with a few pictures. Enjoy! Reno is a city in the northwest section of the U.S. state of Nevada, along the Nevada-California border, about 22 miles (35 km) north from Lake Tahoe, known as "The Biggest Little City in the World". Known for its casino and tourism industry. We stayed at the Nugget Casino & Resort...and no, I did not put any money in the slot machines!!! :-) What's a vacation with shopping - the Outlets at Legends proved to be more than shopping. Then off to Virginia City. Lake Tahoe is located on the border of California and Nevada. About two-thirds of the lake is in California, with about one-third extending into Nevada at the north and south ends of the lake, and the entire

Happy Labor Day!

Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. It is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States. The holidays stem from the late 1800s when labor activists wanted a federal holiday to recognize workers' contributions to the country. The first U.S. Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882 in New York City, planned by the Central Labor Union. The Labor Day parade of about 10,000 workers took unpaid leave and marched from City Hall past Union Square uptown to 42nd street and ended in Wendel’s Elm Park at 92nd Street and 9th Avenue for a concert, speeches, and a picnic. Oregon was the first to declare Labor Day an official holiday in 1887. Labor Day is considered the 'unofficial NFL season kickoff.' 99.44 percent of the ti
