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)

I’m off to bed. See you in the morning.
We were in line at the ice cream store when I noticed him. His face bore the marks of too many fights—a crooked nose and some scars. His clothes were rumpled, though clean. I stepped between him and my children, using my back to erect a wall.
The first time he spoke, I didn’t hear him clearly and so just nodded to acknowledge him. I scarcely made eye contact with him. Because my wife wasn’t with me, he thought I was a single parent and gently said, “It’s hard raising them alone, isn’t it?” Something in his tone made me turn to look at him. Only then did I notice his children, and I listened to him tell me how long his wife had been gone. His soft words contrasted with his hard exterior.
I was duly chastened! Once again I had failed to see beyond outward appearances. Jesus encountered people whose outward appearance could have turned Him away, including the demon-possessed man in our reading for today (Mark 5:1-20). Yet He saw the heart-needs and met them.
Jesus never fails to see us with love, even though we have scars of sin and a rumpled nature that shows in our stutter-step faithfulness. May God help us to replace our haughtiness with Jesus’ heart of love.
Read: Mark 5:1-20

As a kid I would try to imitate Hayley Mills singing America the Beautiful.

The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes. Kurt Russell’s finest film.
Thank you Beachie for this evening’s fabulosity!;-} *Hugs*
I love Pixar!!
Hi Beach, Kathy.
I really preferred the older Disney films — not the PC crap that came out later. Cartoons: PINOCCHIO, SLEEPING BEAUTY.
I also liked THOMASINA (was that from the TV show), MARY POPPINS.
Hmm, favorite Disney movie, that's a tough one, I liked Monster's Inc. too, but remember watching all the Disney movies with my kids, still, one of the older ones, Snow White is also a fav.
Ready for the weekend, going to help a friend wire a pole barn and generally relax after that. Weather is suppose to turn wetter, oh well.
Must...have...more...coffee..
Have a Disneydocious weekend!
