Intr.:
A. he asked them, ‘Who do people say I am?’
‘Well’, they replied,
1. ‘some say John the Baptist,
2. some say Elijah, and
3. others say you are one of the other ancient prophets risen from the dead.’
B. Then he asked them, ‘But who do you say I am?’

Connections
“CONNECTIONS KEY TO BEING HAPPY: EXPERT,” is the article in the NORTHERN ADVOCATE (Tuesday, September 17, 2013) called.
THE KEY
In the article I am reading about family connections and community connections, about meaningful family and community connections. It says also that the connections are the key to being happy.
Being happy is being pleased, being fortunate. Being happy means feeling and causing joy or gladness.
If meaningful family and community connections are causing joy or gladness already, let us think about the joy, the gladness that is ours, when we enter into a meaningful connection with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We need the connection with other people, but most of all we need the connection with God.

Virtue
When I read today the quote “Hope is one of the theological virtues” by C. S. Lewis, it came to me to find out more about the word “virtue”.
Virtue Christian Centre in KAITAIA
When looking up the word “virtue” in The Collins Concise Dictionary I read the following:
1. “the quality or practice of moral excellence or righteousness.” Please notice the word practice!
2. “any admirable quality or trait”.
3. “any of the cardinal virtues (prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance) or theological virtues (faith, hope, and charity).”
In my reading of the Bible from cover to cover I came today to Luke 8:21, where the Lord Jesus Christ says, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.”
