"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." -- Revelation 1:8

Today, we begin the reading of Revelation.  It's one of the most confusing, yet at the same time most intriguing books of the Bible.  It begins with a vision revealed to John, who is exiled on the Isle of Patmos.  And the Lord introduces himself as being the Alpha & Omega: the beginning and the end.  We are gifted the opportunity to experience a slice of life somewhere in the middle.  It's good to remember, as it can help us to keep perspective.

Found this on YouTube.  Some rough images... PG13.


Readings:  Joel 1:1-3:21; Revelation 1:1-20; Psalm 128:1-6; Proverbs 29:18
