message from the bulletin board (1)

What does your office space look like?  
What does your office say about you?
What message does your office portray?  


What kind of impression would another person glean about you just by seeing your office space.  


My office space happens to be in a hospital.  
Just down the hall east from the Emergency Room, the ambulance entrance and the helicopter pad.  
Just a few steps in the opposite direction from the Medical-Surgical nurses station. 


 It can be a little noisy with all the traffic past my little office.  There are a lot of troubling sounds and cries that reach my office.  
I NEED reminders of God's love and presence

Second chances


credit:  V. Gilbert and Arlisle F. Beers
"Don't be alarmed, the angel said. 
You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. 
He is risen! 
He is not here. 
See the place where they laid him. 

But go, tell his disciples . . and PETER

He is going ahead of you into Galilee. 
There you will see him, just as he told you. " 

Mark 16:6-7 

Did you catch those two words?
those 2 'hope-filled' words? 
. . . . "and PETER."  

Why were the women at the tomb told to "go tell his disciples . . AND PETER?"
He WAS one of the disciples, 
so . . .  why did the angel single-out Peter?

He has risen!


"Don't be alarmed," the angel said. 
"You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. 


HE HAS RISEN! 


He is not here. 
See the place where they laid him. 


But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 


'He is going ahead of you into Galilee. 
There you will see him, just as he told you.' " 


Mark 16:6-7
