Assumption about what Jesus looked like

I am not sure what Jesus looked like but I am assuming that He looked like a Levantine just like this guy:

I am also assuming did Jesus have long hair or short hair.  What did He look like?  I doubt that He looked Scandinavian or some other Northern European.  To me, He looked closer to black than He did white, like this representation:

This is a representation of Jesus washing the disciples' feet.  I assumed that from the artwork above that those in Ethiopia saw Him as looking like them. This isn't uncommon since Jesus relates to many people of all races and color.  Now it does not matter what He looks like.  I was just curious.  Jesus is Lord and Savior and will eventually be the Judge of men.  Everyone is created by the Trinity through Him.  That is a fact that we should all know about, whatever His color or race.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Super Bowl 50

vs

Somehow, I look forward to this Super Bowl.  However, I am quite nervous. I have no idea who will win.  While I prefer the Panthers to win deep down, I have this inkling that they may lose.  I wonder when if one of the teams win big.  I look forward to the Halftime show as well.  Hopefully that too will go down without any major mistakes made by either Coldplay or Beyonce.  Maybe I should just enjoy the game.

O come, Lord Jesus

"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 4  He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:1-4)

O come, Lord Jesus
I know that time is short
It just doesn't seem to be
Teach me Your ways
Show me Your will
Forgive me of all of my sins
Thank You for saving me
O come, Lord Jesus
Remind us that this is only temporary
Eternity is forever
O come, Lord Jesus
Amen

Confessions about my weight

I feel like I have put more stock into my weight than anything else.  It seems to me that many of  my posts here are about my weight.  While it is true that I am overweight, I know that there is more to me than my weight.  I will lose the weight but I have to admit that my diet is poor.  It took today to finally put things into perspective.  Worrying and struggling do me no good.  Weight loss won't be easy but it will be worth it.

" Lady in My Life" by Michael Jackson (RIP)



There'll be no darkness tonight
Lady our love will shine (Lighting the night)
Just put your trust in my heart and meet me in paradise (Now is the time)
Girl, you're every wonder in this world to me
A treasure time won't steal away

So let me keep you warm
Through the shadows of the night
Let me touch you with my love
I can make you feel so right
Just come into my arms
While the world goes spinnin' by
In the glow of candlelight
I will show you you're the lady in my life

Don't need no fortune or fame
I just want you close to me (There's no mystery)
No time for castles in space
Or livin' in make believe (Don't you just see)
I'd trade it all for just a rainy day
As long as I know you'll be there, girl

So listen to my heart
Lay your body close to mine
Let me fill you with my dreams
I can make you feel alright
And baby through the years gonna love you more each day
So I promise you tonight that you will always be the lady in my life

Lay back in my tenderness
Let's make this a night we won't forget
Girl, I need you sweet caress, oh
Reach out to a fantasy
Two hearts in a beat of ecstasy
Come to me, girl

And I will keep you warm through the shadows of the night
Let me touch you with my love
I can make you feel so right
And baby through the years even when we're old and gray
I will love you more each day
'Cause you will always be the lady in my life

Stay with me, I want you to stay with me
I need you by my side
Don't you go no where
(Ooh girl let me keep you warm)
Let me keep you warm
(You are the lady in my life)
You're my lady
(Feel you with the sweetest love)
I wanna squeeze ya
(Always the lady in my life)
I wanna touch you baby
(Lay back in my tenderness)
(You are the lady in my life) doo doo doo
(Rock me with your sweet caress)
(Always the lady in my life)
Your my lady and I love your girl
(Ooh girl let me keep you warm)
(You are the lady in my life) Don't you go nowhere
(Feel you with the sweetest love)
(Always the lady in my life) I love you I love you I need you I want you, baby
(Lay back in my tenderness) Stay with me
