Thanks for the music tonight, Victoria.

I need to sleep for awhile.

I didn't get a nap this afternoon. :)

Yes, that's true. LOL!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Come prima... For the first time.

Come prima
Più di prima, t'amerò
Per la vita, la mia vita ti darò
Sembra un sogno rive derti, accarezzarti
Le tue mani tra le mani stringere ancor
I-Il mio mondo, tutto il mondo, sei per me
A nes suna voglio bene come a te...
Ogni giorno, ogni istante, dolce mente ti dirò
Come prima, più di prima T'amerò
Come prima
Più di prima, t'amerò
Per la vita, la mia vita ti darò
Ogni giorno, ogni istante, dolce mente ti dirò
Come prima...
Più di prima....
T'a-me-rò

For the first time I love you and I always will
I will give you all my life
hold you and caress you will I

[Alberta's Child]

I have to get to bed, too. I wish I could have been here earlier tonight, but my ISP was down for a few hours earlier in the evening.

Lookin' forward to Friday!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Sure. Nighty night, Amy.

Great seeing you here tonight. Sweet dreams. See you tomorrow.

[Alberta's Child]

Oh, boy -- what a song!

I will give you all my life
hold you and caress you will I.

Can I count on you for that? LOL!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Nighty night, AC.

Be good.

[Victoria Delsoul]

[Alberta's Child]

Be good.

[Alberta's Child]

Well, there's nothing wrong with wishful thinking. ;-)

See ya tomorrow!

I know you're bad. LOL

Sweet dreams. Night.

I was out in the weather driving all over central Alabama. Sorry.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Meek and I are members of the elite "Pancake Berets".

[OESY]

Welcome back. Ask for directions next time.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I wasn't lost. I manage a business telephone equipment service department. We got too deep in service calls, so I took all the 45 minute plus drive customers and used my techs to focus on short drive quick fix customers. By the end of the day we were back on track. The weather is killing us.

[OESY]

You are forgiven (and were missed), my friend. Better weather is on the way.

Time to take the pancake off and put on your Hana Matsuri hat.

Faithful Ambition

Read:
Galatians 6:12-18

God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. -Galatians 6:14

Bible In One Year: 2 Samuel 16-18

In the late 19th century, a former student of Oxford University became the Lord Chancellor of England. One of his classmates became Britain's Foreign Secretary. A third gained an international reputation as an author. A fourth, Temple Gairdner, was perhaps the most gifted of his classmates but did not achieve fame and influence. Why? He accepted Jesus as his Savior and lived as a missionary in obscure and dangerous places.

Gairdner could have become as well-known as his fellow students. But when he decided to become a missionary, he wrote to his sister, "I have found ambition dreadfully difficult to cope with. It seems so natural, especially with one's upbringing and education, to look forward to making a mark and a name, and so awfully hard to resign oneself to living and dying tucked away in some corner."

We probably will not be called upon to make that kind of sacrifice. But are we willing to serve our Savior in radical obedience? To serve Him faithfully we must put aside our own interests, as Paul did: "God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Galatians 6:14).

We don't need to be famous. But we do need to be faithful wherever God calls us. -Vernon Grounds

Let us then be true and faithful,
Trusting, serving, every day;
Just one glimpse of Him in glory
Will the toils of life repay. -Hewitt

The world rewards quick success; God rewards long-term faithfulness.
