Thanks, gorush, for the great old pictures.

I didn't get out into the garden today - rested and played on the computer for a couple of hours. I was trying to watch the football game online (NBC) - it crashed my computer. It's just as well - I hate both the Cowboys and Giants.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

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)

You’re welcome. I’ve got a million of them...cha cha cha cha. (A Jimmy Durante reference that shows my age)

All Through This Hour
September 9, 2013

The majestic chime of London’s Great Clock of Westminster, commonly known as Big Ben, is familiar to many. In fact, some of us may have clocks in our homes that sound the same hourly chime. It is traditionally thought that the melody was taken from Handel’s Messiah. And the lyrics inscribed in the Big Ben clock room have a time significance:

All through this hour,

Lord, be my guide;

And by Thy power,

No foot shall slide.

These lyrics are a good reminder of our constant need for God’s guidance. King David recognized that he needed guidance all through the day as he faced the challenges of life. In Psalm 25 he says: “Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; on You I wait all the day” (v.5). Wanting to be a teachable follower of God, David looked to his Redeemer for direction. His heart’s desire was to wait on God with dependent faith throughout the entire day.

May this be our desire as well. Our requests for God’s help often begin the day, but then competing distractions can pull our attention away from Him. Lord, remind us to pray: “All through this hour, Lord, be my guide.”

There’s never a day nor a season
That prayer may not bless every hour,
And never a prayer need be helpless
When linked with God’s infinite power. —Morton

Let Christ be first in your thoughts in the morning, and last in your thoughts at night.

Read: Psalm 25:1-11

Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; on You I wait all the day. —Psalm 25:5

Bible in a Year:
Proverbs 6-7; 2 Corinthians 2

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...how did your solo gig with the Biker Ministry go this morning?

[gorush]

Here are two gentlemen named Jefferson Davis, one from the North and one from the South:

Here's the first photo taken from outer space:

For extra credit, who are these people?

[moose07]

You left the names in the properties data....:)

[gorush]

Cheater! :{)

Rain started about 90 minutes ago...heavy at times. I love listening to it on the skylight over my computer desk.

I forgot about the start of football. I’ve really lost interest in watching the many thugs that now call themselves pro football players. And the antics on field make me sick...coming from grown men. They get paid huge sums of money and we are supposed to be thrilled when they make a play. THAT’S WHAT THEY GET PAID TO DO!! Ok, rant over.

Sorry about your computer crashing.

When does your daughter come?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

[ConorMacNessa]

I agree about antics on the field - you'd think, from the way they act, that they had never scored a touchdown before. I've felt for some years that the game is played more intensely at the collegiate level. The pros look to me like they're just going through the motions much of the time.

I'm wondering if the computer problem may be a Firefox issue. I'll give IE or Safari a try again and see what happens with them.

Mary Fran comes home Monday the 30th. I'll pick her up at the airport.

Good evening, Mooch.....it is raining, quite heavy at times.

Weather report is predicting some rain all week. Leaves have not started to change color, but is definitely getting cooler.

How is your summer going? Can you see fall yet?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh boy....rearranging! Maddi will love it.

Time for Halloween.....it is coming, isn’t it?

[gorush]

Four U.S. Presidents have been assassinated. One man was at the death bedside of three of those Presidents. Can you name him?

[luvie]

Thanks, Galz, for telling us about these heroes of the Civil War. I am a southerner through and through (well, really Southwesterner—TEXAN), but I do have great respect for the heroes on both sides of the conflict. :)

God rest their souls!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Gonna be a long 3 weeks. d:o)

I’ve had Firefox shut down twice on me this weekend. And the update window pops up all the time. I hate updating so often cuz then something else doesn’t work.

Good luck!

[Kathy in Alaska]

G'day, Janey...((HUGS))

Time for a new one? Or you gonna keep working on the old one?
