The Right hand of God is symbolic for God's authority.

Thanks!

I finally took off my sunglasses!

My blue eyes are about all I passed down to my daughter. This photo is untouched so you can see just how blue her eyes are when the light catches them.

To bring this back to John Ragsdale - when he ministered at my daughter's church he told her that her spirit reminded him a lot of his wife's. It made an impression with her.

.

Now you shouldn't say that is "all" you passed down to her.

She's beautiful and she looks so much like you around 1977.

I mean, not that you're not good lookin' now but we were ALL younger then.

I thought leading up to the reunion after seeing other JCM classmates' pictures of their kids that if you could get the kids together for a group photo, you'd swear it was us back on "The Farm."

LOL! Now, that would be so neat! Can you imagine our kids actually agreeing to "live" on the farm?

True, but it would be impossible for Jesus to sit at his own right hand!

God is a Spirit. Spirit's don't have right hands or left hands. The right hand of God is an anthropomorphism that signifies a position of strength and power. If you look up right hand in the OT as it is applies to God, you can see that more clearly.

Ex 15:6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

Ps 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Ps 89:13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

Mt 26:6 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
