As I was washing dishes after lunch I was pondering the Conclave at the Vatican and a news article I saw in the last 24 hours about the expectation of a new Pope by Friday…. The phrase, ‘Beware the Ides of March’ popped into my head.

Enjoy.

This isn’t my opinion….
Compare these two passages with each other, then compare with what you have been taught by the doctrines of men…

Yeshua (Jesus), John 10:11-16
15 The word of the Lord came again to me saying, 16 “And you, son of man, take for yourself one stick and write on it, ‘For Judah and for the sons of Israel, his companions’; then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel, his companions.’ 17 Then join them for yourself one to another into Continue reading “One Shepherd, one flock, one stick… Compare.”
