YOU'RE A TREASURE AS ALWAYS.

How's James Avery?

Any rain your way yet?

God's best to you and those you love. Thanks for being my Friend.

[oldteen]

What a messed up culture we have become.

So true!

[LUV W]

I hope it was a good one! James Avery is great! We moved into
a new store in November and it’s beautiful...and has helped sales.

Not much rain. We’ve only had a little over 7 inches since September of 2010! Bad. We have very strict water restrictions and trees and yards are dying all over town. :(

God bless you and give you a blessed Sunday!

[Quix]

WOW.

Congrats on the new store.

Prayers for rain, then.

Sigh.

The characters dinking with the weather . . . words fail me.

Nevertheless, God is still God and always will be God.

And prayer does have an impact.

Tooooo cute!

YOU'RE A BIG TREASURE, TOO, DEAR YORKIE.

Prayers for your speedy recovery. I hope the times with your son and family are all you want and need them to be.

Big Gentle Hugs to you.

And He’s with you in your test. —Hess

The Devil In Court
February 26, 2012

The Devil and Daniel Webster” is a short story by Stephen Vincent Benet. In it, Jabez Stone, a New England farmer, has such “bad luck” that he sells his soul to the devil to become prosperous. Eventually, the devil comes to collect Jabez’s debt. But the eminent lawyer Daniel Webster is called in to defend him. Through a skillful series of arguments, Webster wins the case against the devil, and Jabez is saved from perdition.

Of course, this tale is only fiction. But the Bible records a vision in which Satan accuses a believer before the Divine Judge. Joshua, a high priest, stands before God. As a picture of his personal sin and guilt, the priest is dressed in filthy clothing. Nearby, Satan accuses Joshua. But the Angel of the Lord rebukes him and says to Joshua: “See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes” (Zech. 3:4).

Only God can make a sinner acceptable to Him. And the New Testament tells us how: “If anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” (1 John 2:1).

Do you feel unworthy to enter the presence of God? Remember, as Christians, our Savior’s blood has cleansed us, and Christ Himself represents us.

The power of God can turn a heart From evil and the power of sin; The love of God can change a life And make it new and cleansed within. —Fasick

Justification means our guilt gone, Christ’s righteousness given.

Read: Zechariah 3:1-5

I have removed your iniquity from you. —Zechariah 3:4

Bible in a Year:
Deuteronomy 32-34

Good Sunday Morning

"The power of God can turn a heart
From evil and the power of sin;

"I am having trouble with my computer..The screen just goes black..I got it back on after many tries.."

If you've replaced a TV or two lately, one of them may have a connection for the output of your computer.

It's one of the things I look for in a new TV; not only to be able to display digital channels directly, but also to be able to be used as a computer monitor as well.

I'm using one of the new TVs I purchased recently for this purpose right now. I haven't even connected it to cable yet.

A warning though, you may need to adjust the settings on your computer before you can use the TV. I did have to do that. The computer had been set for a 70 Hertz refresh rate, and the TV did not like that. After setting the computer to 60 Hertz, everything worked fine. A nice bright, and wide, picture.

Good Luck!

[MEG33]

Good Sunday Afternoon

Thank you, Bob..This is a laptop..I do have a HD
TV in my room where I post..I have a handy young man
in the neighborhood who could probably figure it out..
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

[yorkie]

What a lovely and meaningful opening, today, Meg!

[yorkie]

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature
is that all of us tend to put off living.

We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon
instead of enjoying the roses blooming......
outside our windows today.
~Dale Carnegie~

[MEG33]

Good Sunday Morning

Thank you, (((yorkie)))....I love those comforting words. God is with
you in your test!
You brighten up my day when you are here.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

[NicknamedBob]

Many laptops can output to a regular computer monitor, or to a TV with the right connections.

Look for a fifteen-pin connection, usually labeled VGA.

You may need a cable. If you can’t find one locally, they can be ordered over the Internet (for a more reasonable cost).

Consider it a Plan “B”. It’s also a good idea to have a plug-in keyboard for your laptop as well. And I couldn’t abide not having a regular mouse for it.

[MEG33]

Beautiful ..and amen to the words by Lincoln and Carnegie!

[MEG33]

I use a wireless mouse and keyboard..My laptop is basically my monitor..It’s a big laptop..not for carting around.

[yorkie]

Thank you, Meg! We ALL have tests - but, some seem to have ‘easier’ tests than others............

We will grow, only if we embrace the goodness in the tests we are presented with.

(And, day-ummm, those ‘growing pains’ ain’t easy sometimes, but, we stand a bit taller after each ‘growth spurt’.)

You KNOW I love hyacinths! I can almost smell them from CA!

((((HUGS))))) to you and all the prayer warriors here!

[MEG33]

Yes ..I know you love hyacinths

Wish the graphic were scented for you!
God knows you are having a test...I am happy you have
growth spurts..I know it is a slow go and painful..Hope
the new sling is making life a bit more comfortable.
Praying for you is easy to do..We love you.

[MEG33]

It's Time For Lunch

And a Nap
I wish you a lovely Sunday Afternoon

[Diver Dave]

Hello yorkie. Great to “see” you again.

Maybe we should all get together and flood your room with hyacinths.

Washing machine broke yesterday so we bought a new one. You’d think an item like that would last longer than 18 years. They just don’t make ‘em like they used to. ;^)

Prayers continue for you and your recovery.

[yorkie]

Hey, Dave! Good to 'see' YOU, again, too.
I haven't been online too much these past few weeks.

So you had a broken washing machine?

Bet you and your bride are glad you didn't have to replace it
with one like our Grandma used! LOL!

[MEG33]

My washer and dryer are almost 20 yrs old..LOL
My daughter thinks I ought to buy new ones but they work!

[yorkie]

I feel so ‘out’ of it.......my washer is a top loader - guess everyone has those new-fangled front loaders these days. It’s getting so I can’t keep up with technology.

My kids got me an I-Phone when I was in the hospital. It was free. (My old cell phone had enough credits to cover the cost - LOL!) My only regret, is that the ‘old’ cell phone doesn’t work any more.

[MEG33]

I know I am getting old because I am so comfortable with old cars and old appliances if they work..Now I love my computer and HD TV..but I have yet to get a cellphone..though I want one for the car...I keep “meaning” to get one..LOL

[LUV W]

Howdy, dear friend! One can never accuse you of not living!

Beautiful graphic...you still do good stuff!

[yorkie]

Cell Phone Evolution

What once cost thousands, weighed 2 pounds,
and packed 60 minutes of battery life
now costs $99, weighs 4 ounces,
and packs 5 to 10 hours of battery life--

and also includes a full-fledged computer,
a video camera,
audio/video playback,
and high-speed Internet access.

[MEG33]

Amazing!

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. John 14:6-7 KJV

Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Thank you for the beautiful picture of God's universe.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

[jaycee]

Would you please have your lunch and
and your rest. I must rest at this very
moment as I've pushed too long today! I had
a delicious oyster stew for lunch. I had the
fried oysters last night (after groceries) and
I got in bad shape with my back. After the bone
scan tomorrow and the results show what the
x-rays showed, I have to have that procedure
done as soon as possible 'cause I can't handle this!!

[MEG33]

Good Sunday Afternoon

Amen..Thank you, Conor, for your beautiful post of Our Lord and scripture.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day
