Julie Joyner - A Woman of the Lord

Julie Joyner - MorningStar

Julie Joyner, the wife of Rick Joyner (MorningStar Ministries), is a woman of God. 

My wife Laurie and I have known her since our moving to Charlotte in 1994. She was very helpful in connecting us with Harry & Louise Bizell of Lamb's Chapel, as Mahesh, Bonnie Chavda and I looked for a place to move All Nations Church from Ft. Lauderdale to Charlotte. 

And I ended up having my office for Mahesh Chavda Ministries/All Nations Church in the small farm house they had formerly lived in. In fact, the same black stove pipe fireplace in the middle of the room by my desk was there in the same place they had occupied when first moving to Charlotte too. Nice.

Many of you may know her for her beautiful, soft music - shared through her voice and on her guitar. We personally have both her Christmas CD, Christmas Memories, and her other music CD. Morning Light. (You can buy both at the MorningStar webstore link below.)

Following are photos from a "Night With Julie Joyner" on April 3, 2014 during the MorningStar "50+Joshua & Caleb Generation Gathering". (Her 14 songs she sang can be found on the Love For His People YouTube channel.)

What you may not know about Julie is her passion for making Christmas Child shoeboxes for Franklin Graham's ministry Samaritan's Purse. She has been doing this for years. Now she has found a way to raise money to pay for the tens of thousands of boxes she sees done on an annual basis, by having a BAZAAR (2nd hand store) in the Grand Ballroom of the MorningStar Ministries main building. And just recently, when I first walked into the room to see for myself, there she was, manning the cash register!

Julie's heart burns with passion to bless the children of the world with a shoebox each Christmas. I hope you support her in this mission - both through the BAZAAR resale shop, the upcoming boutique she will open on Main Street for "upscale" clothing for women (and maybe the guys too??!!) and when the time comes to put those shoeboxes together for the kids.

Blessings on ye head Julie!

With our love,

Steve and Laurie Martin

Everyday Life of Jews in Jerusalem's Old City 120 Years Ago - Israel's History - a Picture a Day (Beta)

Israel's History - a Picture a Day (Beta)

The Everyday Life of Jews in Jerusalem's Old City 120 Years Ago Posted: 15 Jan 2014  The oldest pictures of Jews at the Western Wall in Jerusalem's Old City date from the 1850s, such as this photo taken by Mendel Diness. (With permission of Special Collections, Fine Arts Library, Harvard University. 1859) Original caption: "A Bazaar in Jerusalem" (Credit: Keystone-Mast Collection, California Museum of Photography at UCR  ARTSblock, University of California, Riverside)  In his 1871 travelogue, Travels around the World, former U.S. Secretary of State William Seward described the prayers of the Jews at the Western Wall (Kotel) -- "pouring out their lamentations over the fall of their beloved city."  He reported the Jewish population of the city was 8,000, twice the number of the Christian or Muslim residents. Many of the century-old photos of the Jews of the Holy Land were taken during their prayers at the Kotel. Far fewer were the less formal pictures of their everyday life in Jerusalem.  We present such pictures here. What did everyday life look like? Close scrutiny of the "Bazaar in Jerusalem" shows Jewish men (and probably Jewish women in the foreground) shopping and walking past a parked camel in the shuk of the Old City.  See the enlargement below.  The sign. Interpretations are welcomed. We were intrigued by the sign above the store on the left,  and we enlarged it. We discovered the sign, in Hebrew and Yiddish, was for a bedding store and read: Smeared cotton (not clear what it was "shmeared" with)  Readymade quilts or covers Mattresses – Best Sorts The last line are the names of the store's proprietors, but all that can be easily read is "Chaim Tzvi."  A Jewish money changer just inside the Jaffa Gate under  signs advertising cheese and butter products(with  Rabbi Kook's kashrut supervision) and a printer. (Credit: Keystone-Mast Collection, California Museum of Photography  at UCR ARTSblock, University of California, Riverside)  The Getty Research Institute labels this picture  as a  "Jeblanier jeuf  à  Jérusalem," taken in  1890.  The Jewish merchant's profession is  a "ferbantier"  -- a  tinsmith or "blecher" in  Yiddish.  (Credit: Ken and  Jenny Jacobson  Orientalist Photography Collection, Getty) A Jewish hat store right outside of the Jaffa Gate.  This picture is from an enlargement of an original - here.  (Library of Congress, note the Library's citation of Israel Daily Picture to date the picture as pre-1898) Orthodox Jews among the throngs inside Jaffa Gate, an enlargement of an original - here. (Credit: Keystone-Mast Collection, California Museum of Photography  at UCR ARTSblock, University of California, Riverside)   The setting inside the Jaffa Gate would again appear in later pictures showing the evacuation of Jews from the Old City during Arab rioting in 1929 and 1936.  (Note the tree in the pictures above and below.)  In 1948, the Old City Jews were expelled through the Zion Gate.
