Jesus Name Above All Names

As far as I can tell I haven't done this hymn yet and I'm shocked. It's one of the classics. One of the BEST. I love this hymn. I mean LOVE IT.
Jesus. His name causes more controversy; His name causes more relief; His name causes more assurance; His name causes more discomfort than any other name. People have emotional and physical responses to the name of Jesus. No matter the response you can see that his name, it is above all other names. Nobody else has their name spoken so often and with such a great response.
What is YOUR response to the name? When you hear "Jesus" what kind of emotions rise up in you? What kind of physical response do you have? If your responses lean toward the negative I'm so sorry.
I respond with freedom to the name of Jesus. I love his name because of what it represents to me and my life. His name has compelled me to look to God and I have found freedom in Christ. I am grateful for what Jesus did for me to find that freedom. In my life, his name is above all others. I speak it with respect, awe, humility, and gratitude.
JESUS!

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
