Adominiram Judson

    1788-1850  

Missionary to Burma (present day Myanmar) who lived

there for nearly 40 years and translated the Scripture.

 The 

motto 

for every missionary, whether preachre, printer, or schoolmaster, ought to be ''Devoted for Life'.”

on their massacre.

Wednesday, 3 Januaary 2018 and the 10th day of Christmas

                          

                     Christmas and the fun*on Psalm 85

  
  Truth 
     has 
sprung
      up  
  from 
     the 
 earth 
    and     
      rightousness 

         has look down from heaven.

                *  

(ANTIPHON, Siri, Antiphon, 
You inveterate pagan!) 

                                                    *                                       

                          I’ve totally overshot my energy/pain 
                               endurance wad for this morning.
                                      If there's a siant of the day
                                       maybe i'll look later....
    *

Fun fact: 

the psalm verse 

itself is stated in the

 future tense. But with 

Christmas, the future is here. 

The First Sunday after Christmas, the last day of the year and the seventh day of Christmas
