I knew my friends at Amy’s would enjoy it, so I high jacked it off my FB some one posted it. And some one would make a great graphic out of it.

Lol, I Love Watching the Cute Antics of Kitties; they are Always So Curious and Full of Surprises.
I Hope I can Get Another Kitty Someday; I still Miss my Sweet Friend, Fang-Face, who Passed Away Almost 10 Years Ago.

We have an Old Boxcar here on the King's Ranch, and the Snakes Probably Dine on the Mice that Live under it.
But Hubby is Fixing the Boxcar, so the "Restaurant" is about to Close, Lol.

Thank you Dave!
I’ve been watching the local coverage from Co Springs, even though I am 1000 miles away. Their channel 11 (kktv.com) has had continuous coverage. Seems like last night was the worst of it. Tonight it is not nearly as bad. The paper in Co Springs (gazette.com) says that 200-300 homes are lost. That is the only source I’ve seen that has reported on numbers. Channel 11 is not being specific about such things and is doing as the local gov’t asks which is to let the home owners be contacted by fire and police about losses of homes. I hope it is not true that such a shockingly high number of homes are lost. I thought it might be 20 or 30 and that would be bad enough.

Thanks again! From what I’ve seen online tonight (Wednesday), the fires are not as bad as last night. No word from Auntie since around 11am central. I think she is OK at my cousin’s house and her block remains in the pre-evacuation zone now. I am glad it has not progressed to a mandatory evac zone. Her home is so nice. Just right for her and Henri. I hope she gets some peaceful sleep tonight.

((hugs)) Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

In Praise Of Sovereignty

June 28, 2012
In James Fenimore Cooper’s book The Last of the Mohicans, we become acquainted with a character named David Gamut. He is a devout Christian who delights in setting the Psalms to music and singing them no matter what circumstances life brings his way. Gamut believes that God can be trusted in crisis as well as in good times. He lives a life in praise of God’s sovereignty—His supreme power, authority, and control over the world.

The Bible tells us about another David, a flesh-and-blood person who was no stranger to unpredictable life circumstances and who loved to respond to God in praise: King David of Israel. He saw the giant Goliath fall by his sling, he was chased by the murderous King Saul, and he watched the nation of Israel rally under his own leadership. Yet in all these situations, David took time to write and sing psalms of praise to his sovereign God. For example, he wrote, “The Lord has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all” (Ps. 103:19). David understood that in all circumstances we can worship and thank God for His care and control.

What are you experiencing today? A time of blessing or of testing? In any event, remember David’s example, and sing praises to God for His rule in our lives.

Lord, shape my life as only You can,
Guiding each day by Your loving plan;
Take what You need and give what You will;
My life is Yours to use and to fill. —Branon
Praise the Lord! Praise Him according to His excellent greatness! —Psalm 150:1-2

Read: Psalm 103:15-22

The Lord has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all. —Psalm 103:19
Bible in a Year:
Psalms 103-105

Sorry, for the repeated posting. It took a long time and was stuck or something. It was not an interesting post anyway.

June 28, 2012 is a day that will live in infamy. It was a day that America officially became a socialist nation. It is a day that marked the end of freedom as we know it.

Ruling 5-4 to uphold ObamaCare, the Supreme Court of the United States gave the Federal Government unlimited power over our individual lives. As a result, the quality of our healthcare and the freedom to choose our doctors and hospitals has been stripped. This decision also sets the dangerous precedent for future government take-overs of our lives.

Just to let you know, Auntie went back to her house today. The winds are favoring her being safe for now. Her subdivision is still in pre-evacuation mode.

She asks that we pray for rain, no lightning, and calm winds.

(((Hugs))) thank you for your caring thoughts and prayers

I can see November from my back forty...

What a day.

I am hearing from sources I trust (Rush, Mark Belling, The White House Insider) that today’s ruling while heart-breaking at first, will ENSURE that Obummer LOSES in November.

Holder has just been held in contempt, breaking news on The Mark Belling Late Afternoon Show 4:34 central time.

The Rats will get what they deserve in November.
We will get back control of both houses and Repeal this abomination. Mitt will Exec Order the states exempt in January and then we will repeal it completely.

GRR, Momma Grizzly is steaming mad today!
