On this Primary Tuesday, of course an official vote was to take place for the naming rights of this AO.       Unfortunately, we have a bunch of #noshowRubios (submission to Lexicon?) in our midst. However, this Site Q is accepting write-ins and Twitter votes. Let your voice be heard!

Currently, #Fenceline and #Strikezone are in a dead heat.

***3F Highlights Below*** Bird’s Nest Site Q

Nonetheless, a solid 3 pax + the Q answered the 🔔 this a.m. in a return of the cold weather. Considering Tuesdays past, it was like summer in Hawaii as far as YHC is concerned.

    • scripture says “up” to Jerusalem…actually south directionally but Jerusalem is a city of elevation
  • took  a look at Jesus’ immediate family
    • Mother (Mary)
      • Brothers
        • 4 (Jesus was the first – born) (think Virgin birth)

          • later we learn that His brothers did not believe (John Chapter 7)

      • Of particular importance
        • disciples realize it from Deuteronomy and Psalm 69:9
        • “Zeal for your house will consume me.”
        • example of “righteous anger”
          • God in the flesh

Bird’s Nest prayed us out and we’ll pick up next Tuesday starting chapter 3 and Jesus’ encounter with a man named Nicodemus.  We still have plenty of room for veteran and new pax alike. You know someone that needs this.  YHC would urge you to take a look at men in their lives (and F3) that could benefit from this study.  #giveitaway
