Story of the Day
It took place in duplicate. In one place was the royal drink, wine, made from grapes. Grapes that were stomped and crushed under the load of bare feet. Bare feet that tread all over the grapes that later were formed into wine. Then there was the bread. Bread made from grain that was tossed into the air and the grain separated and ground by a mill stone. Crushed by the heavy grinding of the stone. The grain was then used to form bread. Bread and wine, both formed by crushing and separation. Bread and Wine...every day Bread combined with Royal Wine. Bread and Wine - common and majestic. Bread and Wine - Body and Blood - given and shed for you. Common and Royal. Bread and Wine in the Passion of Life for you. It took place in duplicate --- Bread - Body ---Wine - Blood. Salvation from above. Salvation from the Royal Throne of heaven that came down to the common. Bread and Wine, the Body and Blood, given and shed for creation. Given and shed for the vine in a Passion so deep, so awesome, so wonderful, that we joyously respond in everlasting song to the God of Salvation that reigns in glory and honor and power. Amen, Lord Jesus! Yes, it shall be so! Amen, now and forever!

Prayer of the Day
Lord, I give thanks that You came down. I give thanks for Your Spirit that You graciously pour out upon Your Church and this world. I give thanks for the Bread and the Wine. I give thanks for the Body and the Blood. For all power and glory and majesty are Yours, now and forever! ---Amen
