October 17 / Mark 14:1-11
Mark 14:1-11 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” I replied to Debbie’s post yesterday that she would enjoy today’s reading. Why?

October 16 / Matt. 26:1-16
Matthew 26:1-16 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” Twice Jesus predicts His death in today’s reading – first in verse 2 when He says that …the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified…, then again in verse 12 when He said of the woman who had …
October 15 / John 12:44-50
John 12:44-50 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” Continuing in John 12… My Study Bible points out that today’s reading, the end of chapter 12, marks the end of Jesus’ public ministry. Chapter 13 in John begins the Last Supper. If anyone hears My words and does not keep …

John 12:37-43 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” Continuing in John 12… There’s a lot to see in the last two verses for today: Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear that they would be …

October 12 / John 12:20-26
John 12:20-26 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” Back to John’s Gospel… An item on the “primacy” of Andrew… I have commented before on Andrew being left behind at the Transfiguration, but then being included as one of the four who were speaking with Jesus at the Mount of …
October 11 / Luke 21:34-38
Luke 21:34-38 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” Luke offers some very different thoughts on these End Times than the other two Synoptic writers. He gives us, in my mind, a delightful reading today, for a couple of reasons… First, And early in the morning all the people came …
October 10 / Mark 13:32-37
Mark 13:32-37 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” Debbie mentioned a few days ago that Jesus was holding these “Last Days” discussions with his twelve apostles (or a few of them). I hadn’t thought about that until she mentioned it, but today’s last verse confirms that – And what …
October 9 / Matt. 25:31-46
Matthew 25:31-46 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” The Final Judgment… These details of the Final Judgment occur only in Matthew.
