LUKE 24
The Resurrection
24 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.5 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee,7 that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.”8 And they remembered his words,9 and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.10 Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles,11 but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them.12 But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.
On the Road to Emmaus
13 That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles[a] from Jerusalem,14 and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened.15 While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them.16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.17 And he said to them, “What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you walk?” And they stood still, looking sad.18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”19 And he said to them, “What things?” And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,20 and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.21 But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.22 Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning,23 and when they did not find his body, they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see.”25 And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!26 Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?”27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He acted as if he were going farther,29 but they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent.” So he went in to stay with them.30 When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them.31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their sight.32 They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?”33 And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,34 saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”35 Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
36 As they were talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you!”37 But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit.38 And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.”40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.41 And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?”42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish,[b]43 and he took it and ate before them.
44 Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,46 and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead,47 and that repentance for[c] the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.48 You are witnesses of these things.49 And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
The Ascension
50 And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them.51 While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven.52 And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,53 and were continually in the temple blessing God.

TAYLOR: 08:39 AM Just when you think things are bad in Taylor under the leadership of Mayor Robert Lamb, well, they get worse.
A 7 – 8 year employee recently quit. While RSN has not spoken with her, from informed sources, she had enough of Mayor Robert Lamb. Now this employee was in the recent Taylor City Council work session on re-writing the Taylor Personnel Rules and Regulations handbook. This week that employee had enough.
This week Mayor Robert Lamb fired one of the employees of the Taylor Water Department. which is the one that fix leaks and keeps the water system operational.
MAGISTRATE AND MAYOR
At the last Taylor City Council Administrative Meeting, which the Council can not vote in, there was a request for a Magistrate school in Birmingham for Peggy, a new assistant to the Magistrate. Councilman Kenny Thompson had some questions. With no respect to the City Council by not getting up and addressing the from the front, Peggy yelled from the back of the room that Magistrate Ann Baxter had “ALREADY” paid for the school from the court fund. The check had to be signed by Taylor Mayor Robert Lamb.
QUESTION: (1) What authority does the Magistrate have to write a check without the Taylor City Council vote of approval? (2) How does Mayor Robert Lamb have the authority to sign the check without the approval of the Taylor City Council?
The last regular Taylor City Council Meeting there was only one item on the agenda where the Taylor City Council has the authority to vote. That item was the approval of the minutes of the last meeting. Had the school for the Magistrate been urgent, it should have been placed on the agenda to be voted on. But it was not. And to write the check and send off without the approval of the Taylor City Council is wrong!!! And the Council should take disciplinary actions against the Magistrate and Mayor Robert Lamb. This should be a terminating offense on the Magistrate and an impeachment of the Mayor.
CAUSE I DO NOT LIKE THEM
In 45 minutes of being sworn in as Mayor, the long running rumor that Lamb was going to terminate Police Chief James Brazier came true. The Taylor City Council has not followed their own rules and regulations for documentation and a hearing on the termination of Chief James Brazier. Willful neglect of duty of the Taylor City Council.
Robert Lamb was employed with the City of Taylor as a Code Enforcement Officer when James Brazier came on as Police Chief. Some things that Robert Lamb was doing, Brazier felt were not correct, so he took actions and had those changed. That made Robert Lamb mad and caused Lamb to not like Brazier. So the termination was nothing about job performance, it was about Robert Lamb not liking James Brazier. It was a planned common scheme and design of now Mayor Robert Lamb. Then former Taylor Police Officer Tim Miller was there for Lamb’s swearing in. Miller told someone he was there because he wanted to see Brazier fired. And he did!!!
Now RSN understands Mayor Robert Lamb is after the Senior Citizens Director’s job. Lamb also had worked in the Senior Citizens Center. He has cut the Senior Citizen’s hours and has been overheard telling the City Clerk he wants the Senior Citizens Director fired. And it is not for job performance, it is because Mayor Robert Lamb does not like her, according to sources. So to the Senior Citizens Clerk, document and take notes.
PETITION FOR RECALL
There is a petition for recall of Mayor Robert Lamb. The council is at a loss of what to do with Mayor Robert Lamb. TO THE CITIZENS OF TAYLOR – Robert Lamb is DESTROYING YOUR CITY. It is time for him to go home. In the single years I was friends with Robert and his wife. So thiis is not about if I like Robert. I do like him. But this job is wayyyyyyyy out of his league and he is second by second destroying your city.
TIME FOR THE CITIZENS TO STAND UP AND SAY ROBERT LAMB – YOUR TIME IS UP – RESIGN
The Taylor City Council meets Tuesday night at 6 PM.. Pop you some popcorn and sit back and watch. RSN will be there and livestreaming the TAYLOR MUNICIPAL DRAMA SHOW, starring Mayor Robert Lamb. Attend the meeting, the recall petition will be available for Taylor Registered voters who voted int he last election to sign.
In closing, most of the council wants changes, just not sure how to change the Mayor’s actions.
i DO NOT LIVE IN TAYLOR. Personally, it matters not, personally, what Robert Lamb does. But I care for the people of Taylor and making sure you know. The videos speak for themselves.
UPDATED @ 11:39 AM
Additional factual information, it appears that Taylor Mayor Robert Lamb has created a hostile work enviornment.
According to reliable sources, Taylor Mayor Robert Lamb is alleged to have yelled and cussed at the employee. While the employee was cleaning out her desk Mayor Robert Lamb refused and never took the opportunity to apologize. After 7 or 8 years the employee walked out and quit.
This stunt with the female, the Water Department employee, with Former Chief of Police James Brazier, some other false accusations made by Taylor Mayor Robert Lamb could cause civil litigation against both the City of Taylor and Robert Lamb, personally. That means his house, property, money in the bank and any assets he might have personally,could be on the line.
If there is a lawsuit, the City of Taylor will have to employ an attorney to represent the City and Robert Lamb will have to personally employ and attorney to protect his assets. And a good civil defense attorney hourly rate will be at least $ 300.00 an hour, or more. It could get very costly.
The parties are sick and tired of the actions of Taylor Mayor Robert Lamb. The Taylor City Council Members are tired of Taylor Mayor Robert Lamb. And all are on pins and needles at what his actions are about to cost the citizens of Taylor. And for his wife, the danger of his personal assets being on the line.
Lamb has made the statement before, he would go back to the old days where you walk outside and fight it out.
