I had a great conversation with Fr. Mitch last night on EWTN Live - it's always fun talking with him, and always goes way too fast! Now I'm sitting in the Birmingham airport waiting to board my first of two flights to get home.
I see we have some new folks here - thanks for checking out the Original Church community - the whole purpose of this is to give people a place to make comments and ask questions, because I don't have comments active on my YouTube videos, and because I'm not on social media. So this is the place to interact with me! EVERYONE should feel free to post here - observations, questions, even prayer requests. We're glad you're here. We are still a relatively small community, but we are growing!
And please join us for The Journey - our ongoing, indepth Bible study - live every Saturday morning at 10 am Central Time; 11 am Eastern Time. And if you can't watch it live, you can watch it later.
Blessings!
- Jim
P.S. All Christians are welcome here, but we do operate on the assumption that the Original Church was the Catholic Church, that the Catholic Church of today is the heart of the universal Church, and most faithfully expresses the intentions of Jesus when he said, "On this rock I will build my Church." So this is not a place for controversy, drama, politics, or even debate, per se, but we do want people to learn how to defend their faith when it's challenged out in the world.
This was for March 24th, recorded for the Ascension App
Thanks for your patience - here is our next installment of The Journey - it's session # 96, but I'm also calling it PART 1 of a "miniseries" on John chapter 6.
Whoever watches it first, please let me know if it looks good or if there are any problems with it - I get through the first two sections of the text on the feeding of the 5,000.
Enjoy!
I mentioned in The Journey that I wrote a song based on Isaiah 2, which is one of my favorite OT passages:
In days to come, the mountain of the Lord’s house
shall be established as the highest mountain, and raised above the hills.
All nations shall stream toward it. Many peoples shall come and say:
“Come, let us go up to the Lord’s mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, That he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths.” For from Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between the nations, and set terms for many peoples.
They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; One nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war again. House of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord!
I hope you like the song!
As I'm going through all my belongings as part of our move, I have come across some audio CDs of my old music, from when I had my band, Remember Rome - if any of you still have a CD player, and you would like me to send you some of what I have, send me the address to send them to at this email address: [email protected]
Some of these CDs are in their original cases, and some were demo samples, but either way, it's all original music written by me, and performed by me and my band back in the late 90s and early 2000s.
I'll be happy to find a good home for these CDs in case you might enjoy them, and because you all have been supporting me (and I haven't produced much content in the last month or so) I'll send you one or more CDs for free. Just give me an address.
Thanks!
