Thank you for today’s Sunday Graphic.
I appreciate the contributions you bring to Amy’s Place.
Your Trillium poem is beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your talent with Amy’s Place.
Oesy, I am SOOOO very sorry to read about Susan’s current state . It is so hard to see those you love fall victim to the frailties of the body & of aging.
Her remarkable life and career are of course the “record” of achievements but it sounds like she was so very rich in who she was beyond that.
Praying for you all now in these difficult times FRiend!
Mega Hugs & LOVE! dolly
this is a pix I took at Lake Erie a few years ago. My beloved Oliver is romping in the trees to the left of the pix.
still enjoying your great offerings but have a problem that I dont know how to “fix”.
On some of them I cant “escape” more or less. At the end of the show I click on the presentation & hit “end” & instead it plays again... and again.. I will try a dozen times & then just have to turn off the computer by pushing the off button (not good)
I cannot get to the start button to do alt, control delete to end the program as the slide show is full screen.
Does anyone else have this problem & a solution. ?????
Ahead of time one does not know when it will happen. Often many windows are open & all is closed & some things lost.
I dont want to stop watching these but need to know how to correct this which I am guessing is my lack of technique/knowledge.
For now I will only go to them when I close out all else & make sure things are saved.
ESC should get you out — but you say it only happens with some of them. That is odd I too wonder if anyone else is having a problem like that.
If you give me the name of one of them I will check if there is something there that causes this.
I had some problems a couple of days ago, I lost all my USB ports and my SYSTEM was running at 50% when nothing was running. I did a system check and found that all the programs that run under that SYSTEM were only using about 2% which is normal.
Anyway I switched the power off to my computer for 30 seconds and powered back up and everything came back to normal. I had never powered down for months.
503 - L:ighthouses is the last one I believe. I am afraid to try! lol
I am wordering if there is any variation in the downloading process that impacts it.’7665
A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, “I know what the Bible means!” His father smiled and replied, “What do you mean, you ‘know’ what the Bible means?” The son replied, “I do know!” “Okay,” said his father. “What does the Bible mean?” “That's easy, Daddy...” the young boy replied excitedly, “ It stands for ‘Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.’
There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in another part of the country. “Is there anything breakable in here?” asked the postal clerk. “Only the Ten Commandments.” answered the lady.
“Somebody has said there are only two kinds of people in the world. There are those who wake up in the morning and say, “Good morning, Lord,” and there are those who wake up in the morning and say, “Good Lord, it's morning.”
A minister parked his car in a NO parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter. Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: “I have circled the block 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses.”
When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note “I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket I'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation.”
There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: “I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it's still out there in your pockets.”
While driving in Pennsylvania , a family caught up to an Amish carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign... “Energy efficient vehicle: Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust.”
A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a question, “Boys and girls, what do we know about God?” A hand shot up in the air. “He is an artist!” said the kindergarten boy. “Really? How do you know?” the teacher asked.
“You know - Our Father, who does art in Heaven... “
A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump. “Reverend,” said the young man, “I'm so sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip.” The minister chuckled, “I know what you mean. It's the same in my business.”
People want the front of the bus, the back of the church, and the center of attention.
Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about. The daughter answered, “Don't be scared, you'll get your quilt.” Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning's Sunday school lesson was about. He said “Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming.”
The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know what to play.
“Here's a copy of the service,” he said impatiently. “But, you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances.”
During the service, the minister paused and said, “Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up.”
At that moment, the substitute organist played “The Star Spangled Banner.” And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!

Since Lighthouses there has been three more. Give me the name of one that caused the problem.
Beautiful picture and Words! Morning, Dolly!!
Very nice greeting this morning, Amy...pic. and poem! Thank you very much.
A spectacular air battle raged outside our window. Skilled, speedy flyers swarmed through the air, diving down from above, zooming in from left and right, climbing from underneath to knock the others out of the fight. The air was alive with sound as they attacked, eluded, hovered, and struck out at one another.
“Scrappy little things, aren’t they?” my wife, Shirley, observed. Six hummingbirds filled the air with darting motion, hovering and whirring as they fought for the three positions on our red hummingbird feeder. “Why can’t they just be patient?” she wondered.
Like so many disputes and quarrels that plague the church, these battles were totally unnecessary. The feeder held plenty of nectared water. We refilled it every day. Yet, for hours at a time, no hummers came near it—until they all wanted it. They seemed to prefer a good scrap.
Quarrels among believers in Jesus Christ bring dishonor to Him. They create wounds in our brothers and sisters, leaving scars. “It is honorable for a man to stop striving, since any fool can start a quarrel,” says Proverbs 20:3. And “He who has knowledge spares his words” (17:27).
How much better it is when we speak gentle words of peace, not angry words of strife!
Good moring, Jaycee; Thank you.
Pinging Fish Hawk to your post.
Dolly, your Lord's Day Graphic is Beautiful, and Mr. Mayor, the Devotional is Excellent. Wonderful Pics, Cardhu.
I Snapped this Pic not too Far from where I Live; the Flowers were So Awesome!
