I guess that it makes sense to have them fenced to keep the public out.

So many people do not appreciate our Memorials and Monuments.

Do you have a web page, Rus?

If I had it, I’ve misplaced it.

That was wonderful, Conor.

I must have missed this in Hi School. I’m sure this is the first time that I have read it.

Thank you.

I know it was an oversight Yorkie but you did not mention that Cardi would be the treasurer for any monetary donations.

Happy First Anniversary, yorkie!

(I wanted to send something inappropriate, but this was the best I could do.
With all due respect to Benny Hill, I can see it's not your wedding anniversary.)

The Next Generation
The things that you have heard from me . . . , commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. —2 Timothy 2:2

A man who played double-bass in the Mexico City Philharmonic told me that the finest instruments are made of wood that has been allowed to age naturally to remove the moisture. “You must age the wood for 80 years, then play the instrument for 80 years before it reaches its best sound,” said Luis Antonio Rojas. “A craftsman must use wood cut and aged by someone else, and he will never see any instrument reach its peak during his own lifetime.”

Many important things in life are “next generation” matters—teaching, training, and parenting are among them. The apostle Paul invested himself in people whose spiritual influence would continue long after he was gone. He wrote to Timothy: “The things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also” (2 Tim. 2:2). Paul, Timothy, “faithful men,” and “others” represent four spiritual generations built on the enduring foundation of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Are we living only for today and the short term, or are we giving ourselves to others who will continue the faith after our race is run? Living for Christ and making disciples are all about the next generation.

Day by day perform your mission,
With Christ’s help keep at your tasks;
Be encouraged by His presence—
Faithfulness is all He asks. —Bosch

We influence future generations by living for Christ today.


Bible in One Year: 1 Kings 10–12; Proverbs 18:13-24

To: All

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

—Mother Teresa
