Luke 19:1-4
Today we are going to look at Luke 19:1, one of the most well known stories in the Bible.

He said, hear that lonesome whippoorwill, he sounds too blue to fly. The midnight train is whining low, I am so lonesome I could cry.
And later on many years later, Celine Deion would rerecord a classic song, "All By Myself." It says, living alone I think of all the friends I have known. When I dial the telephone, nobody is home. All by myself, don ...
