DID YOU KNOW...?

Well, did you know...that Christ was not the last name of Jesus?  As an observation...very few people of the New Testament were referred to as people with last or sur names. They were know for their genealogy or occupations.  Jesus' father was referred to as the carpenter, as was Jesus.  Peter was know as the "fisherman," Luke was the Doctor and Matthew was the "tax collector."  Offhand, the only one that I can remember of having two names was Mary Magdalene and that may have been to differentiate her from Mary, the Mother of Jesus.  And Jesus was called Christ which meant He was the "anointed" one or the "messiah."  and that He was from the "house of David. 

The name of Christ is about the highest honor, accolade or title given in any age, and not given freely.  It was a special recognition that Jesus was a man above men: special and holy. someone to be revered.  No one else has born that particular designation given by so many around the world at any time in history.  Of course there were and are a lot of men that have come and gone that thought that they were pretty unique among men, but none have ever earned or achieved such status and none have ever changed the world as Jesus, the "Christ" did. He was the "anointed" one, the messiah.

I have tried to keep this simple, but if anyone wants to check out the name "Christ" it easy to do by just typing in the word "Christ" in your search engine and read.  As I am not a theologian or known for my brilliance, please do a search on your own.  You will find information far better than any that I could put into this blog.

It is cold.  there was frost upon the pumpkin this morning.  The temperatures are below "normal" for this time of the year.  There will be a hard frost tomorrow on Thursday and again on Friday.  There is a chance for snow flurries here in the Ohio Valley and it isn't even November yet.  O NO!  That can't be right!  We are in the midst of Global Warming...aren't we? 

This has been a fairly busy week for me thus far, and I have two more days to go.  As I am not getting any younger I have found myself needing a nap in the afternoon, whenever I can.

Yesterday the floors were measured.  I hope to have hard wood floors put in and get rid of the carpets.  The carpets have been here since 1986.  Now I sneeze, cough, wheeze and my nose wants to move to Arizona or someplace allergy spores and dust free.  Actually, carpets are warmer in the winter months and I don't want to spend money that I really can not afford to, but I am more in favor of good heath and the ease of keeping allergens out of the air and my little nose.

And that begs the question:  What do you do when you desperately need to sneeze and you have a mouth full of good, hot soup?  Don't bother that answer that!  Ah-Chew! Or something like that.

I think I will get this post out on time!  While not noted for my high IQ when it comes to thinking and writing, I tend to persistent.  If I can't get it out on  a Wed. I will get it off into cyberspace as soon as able.  Are you persistent, too?
