and all their array were completed.
Since on the seventh day
God was finished with the work he had been doing,
he rested on the seventh day

from all the work he had done in creation.
Such is the story of the heavens
and the earth at their creation."

"When they landed,
The net is tossed in the water.
Write down all that you are thankful for.
Thank the Lord.
It runs my
Sudoku program

Interesting.
Why would that be?

That was weird.
Jesus broke it and gave it to them, saying:

'This cup is the new covenant in my blood,
which will be shed for you.'"

Remember Jesus.
He gave his life for us.
It is a covenant.
