It's a doubt issue

It's a faith issue

It's a worry issue

It's a fear issue

It's a courage issue

But whatever the issue

The greatest Portland Trailblazer guards... After scoring 71 points, I was curious as to where Dame Time ranked in Portland's history.

I remember Clyde-the-Glide and couldn't believe, as great as Dame is, that he has surpassed Clyde as the greatest Trailblazer.... yet

I think of other great guards like Brandon Roy and what could have been and Damon Stoudamire and even one of Dame's teammates in McCollum - but Dame has to surpassed these greats.

1 Corinthians 11:24-26 NIV

[24] and when he had given thanks,

he broke it and said,

“This is my body, which is for you;

do this in remembrance of me.”

25] In the same way, after supper

he took the cup, saying,

“This cup is the new covenant in my blood;

do this, whenever you drink it,

in remembrance of me.”

26] For whenever you eat this bread

and drink this cup,

you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

Participating in communion is for my inspiration

To recall a great memory, even if tragic, will insight inspiration

That is why, even a day set aside to commemorate the crucifixion and death of The Christ can still be called good

This is one of the juxtapositions of humanity: to celebrate that which was mourned

It was a divine appointment for Jesus to die on the cross because out of it confirmed the greatest known truth to all of the world, that God so loves this world that He gave His only begotten son that who so ever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life

It was not nails that held Christ to the cross but it was His love and an unqualified resolution to do the Fathers will as stated by DA Carson - a well known Bible scholar

Christ did as the Father intended and did it for my good

Today, God's Friday, is also Good Friday

Today I thank The Christ for His commitment to His love, His love for me - the love that kept Him hanging on the cross.

I do not deserve Your loving kindness nor Your goodness, but You still keep me covered under the covenant of the cross.

I bless You Lord inwardly and outwardly

Leadership without love is for slave masters

Passion without submission is for warlords
