Hello
In a popular childrens book, Winnie the Pooh watches Kanga bound away. I wish I could jump like that, he thinks. Some can and some cant. Thats how it is.
We see younger or more able men and women doing extraordinary things that we cannot do. They can; we cant. Thats how it is. Its easy to feel useless when we cant do the things we were once capable of doing.
Its true that we may not be able to jump like we once did, but we can love and we can pray. These are the works that time and experience have prepared us to do well.
Love is the very best gift we have to give to God and to others. It is no small matter, for love is the means by which we fulfill our whole duty to God and our neighbor. Our love for one person may seem to be a small action, but love is the greatest gift of all (1 Cor. 13:13).
And we can pray. Paul encouraged the Colossians to continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving (Col. 4:2). Our prayers are a powerful force in the universe!
Love and prayer are mighty works indeed, the mightiest works for any of us. Why? Because our God, who wants to use us, is an all-loving and all-powerful God.
Read: Psalm 92
Hello Connie.Thanks for this evenings Entertainment and though I’m not Irish,Well Part Irish.I’d like to hear the Garry Owen for All of our Irish FReepers Here this evening.
I Also dedicate that to members of the U.S. Army’s 7th Cavalry since they adopted that tune as theirs.They have good taste.
No music from me tonight. I am recovering from abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery.
The amazing thing is that I went into the hospital Tuesday morning and was home by 12:00 Noon yesterday.
What is even more amazing is that the ‘surgery’ consisted of two round puncture wounds. The aneurysms were repaired with stents through intra-venous tubes.
As if that is not amazing enough.....there are no stitches! They used surgical glue to ‘repair’ the puncture wounds!
I think that soon doctors will have a little Doctor McCoy box that doode-lootle doos and the problem is fixed! ;-)
Breath of Heaven, Amy Grant

Too hot to venture outside so my wife and I were just watching 'The Third Man' on TCM.
We've seen it before but the soundtrack is just mesmerizing.
