Under the name Francis Lee, I write interracial Christian romantic suspense. My stories are about finding enduring love when hope and redemption seem unattainable as danger lurks around every corner. My characters learn that where there is darkness, "joy will always come in the morning".
There are many times I feel out of place, not because of how I look or behave, but because it is how others view me. That is one reason or sometimes.
I most often go along to the beat of a different drum, which at times is not heard by a majority. Then, when I catch myself and look around and I realize I am alone.
Do I feel uncomfortable? Sure.
I stop feeling sorry for myself and think of my blessings. I thank God and try to fly like an eagle.
Your life without a computer: what does it look like?
Computers are important whether we want to to admit it or not. They make it easier to complete work. We can retrieve data much faster, and we have access to a vast amount of information.
Our world is run by computers, making it impossible to live without them.
For some countries, having a computer can grant access to different worlds of education.
Yet To Be # 307 – Remembered in our hearts all waysnot just at Easter.
What is the significance of Palm Sunday?
It is a Christian celebration with its origin in Biblical times.
Matthew 21 verses 1 to 9 and John 12 verses 12 to 16.
And when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, Tell ye the daughter of Zion, behold, thy king cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. Isaiah 62 verse 11.
Jesus traveled through the city of Jerusalem on a simple donkey. The crowds cast palm branches along his path, crying Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna means Pray, save us.
In Biblical times a King would ride into the city on a horse as a symbol of war, but when he entered the city on a donkey, it was considered a symbol of peace.
Jesus riding on the donkey is seen as the Messiah coming to his people in peace.
He came to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19 verse 10
Public Journey to the Cross Part One is to be remembered not only at Easter but in our hearts all ways.
The Lord dows not let the rigtheous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Proverbs 10 verse 3

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. 2 Corinthians 9 verse 8.
And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. They wandered in the wiklerness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. Hungry and thirsty, their sould fainted in them. Then they cried unto the \lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. Psalm 107 verses 3 to 6.
Different titles of Jehovah describe his office and his character. As a child of God, he is our Father, and daily as we turn the pages of the holy scriptures we learn more about him.
In those pages, we know of eternal life and what it cost the Father to send his only begotten son to die for us.
We also know of the price his son paid to redeem us back to God the Father.
In his title, we glance at a small part of him, a small part of him he wants to share.
Jehovah – Jireh – Jehovah will provide.
He is the Provider.
