I find that writing helps my praying, whether it is writing poetry or more conversational journaling withJesus. I used to feel compelled to write on a scheduled basis (for example, once a week for my journaling or a poem every time I went to the Japanese Garden), but now I have let go of that compulsion and write when it seems right.
She’s right! Omarosa is right there! Also, I’m pretty sure the original titles of the New and Old Testament wereJesus Said This andJesus Ain’t Say That.
A malegiven name from Spanishin Spanish culture; an anglicized spelling ofJesús.

Frensham opened the door and called a name that sounded like 'Haysus'. Brandy was brought and various other bottles and decanters. When the manservant had gone, Frensham said, 'Odd, aren't they, the Spanish? Calling a boyJesus.'
The possessive form of this proper noun may be eitherJesus’s (pronounced with three syllables) orJesus' (pronounced with two syllables). The latter form was traditionally more common when referring to the Christian figure while the former is more common when referring to other people named Jesus, but both forms are attested in both cases. See-'s.

And, says George Eliot, and all who believe in her teaching, it is perfectly true that He is with us now in a dumb, vague, blessed impulse. Is that yourJesus? If I may recall my illustration of the train, I will tell you of myJesus.
...leading Dom Crossan at times to the witty criticism that modern Jesus books are in a quest for who can say "myJesus is more Jewish than yourJesus"...
Patient: ...too much is bad for you. Doctor: Well of course too much is bad for you, that's what "too much" means, you blithering twat. If you had too much water, it would be bad for you, wouldn't it? "Too much" precisely means that quantity which is excessive, that's what it means. Could you ever say "too much water is good for you"? I mean if it's too much it's too much. Too much of anything is too much. Obviously.Jesus.

"If you don't believe me, ask Jesus!" [...] “Look here,” Papa burst out, “there's no difference between Jews and non-Jews. There can only be a difference between good and bad people.” “And don't startJesusing me in my own house,” Mama added[.]

Contrariando a tendência moderna de tornar a mensagem menos pesada e mais atraente,Jesus não baixou o nível. O Senhor não massageava o ego das pessoas só para conservá-las junto a si.

The genitive form isJesus in everyday speech, but especially in fixed expressions, the Greek-Latin genitiveJesu is often used, e.g.Jesu uppståndelse (”Resurrection of Jesus”),Jesu lärjungar (”Jesus’ disciples”) orJesu lidande (”Jesus’ suffering”), etc. Compare the usage ofKristi andKristus.
In older religious texts and in hymns, the formJesu is also found as a vocative, and more rarely the object formJesum, although these have generally been replaced byJesus in modern adaptations.
