Have I actually managed to get here at the same time as you? Just got in a few minutes ago. Had a good meeting with great singing tonight. Had to water the flowers when I got home.
Hope you are all packed and ready to launch. 10-9-8-

Hugs back at ya, Kitty. Felt a lot of the love of our Lord this evening. Our camp meeting is doing what we have planned for it for a long time. It is becoming a place where all of God’s children can gather, and it does’t matter what name is over the door of your church building. Aside from the United Meth., we have had Baptists, Brethren, Church of God, and two or three independent Holiness churches. It’s been a rousing good time with great music and preaching. Praise the Lord!

It seemed like a good idea at the time
We are by nature curious
and prone to peering into small places
A Sweater!
Cool!
Well, rather warm actually
Digging around
The one tunnel or sleeve if you will
Got smaller and tighter
Then I discovered that I had been...
Discovered
Talk about embarrassing!
Ah well, there's the camera
and the laptop
I can see where this is going
You got your picture, now could you please...
Free me!

Thanks, sweetie, but thats what I always do, however, I did something wrong last night and it makes me mad when I do that (I almost say a bad word~LOL~). I have a lot of stuff opened all the time and minimized, so I can get it quickly (like Tinypic) when I want to get a picture.
When I was first learning all that stuff a couple of years ago, I was getting some help online and the guy asks “have you got all your loose change cleaned up” and I didn’t know what he meant but he was talking about what I had opened at the bottom. I have remembered that and laughed so many times. I thought to myself “what the h. is loose change man?” When I told my son, he said “oh, Mom, he was just being a smart __ because he knew you didn’t know what you were doing~”

Little Things
The tongue is a little member and boasts great things. James 3:5
A mosquito is a tiny insectbut its potential for devastation is huge. When I was in the 5th grade, I was bitten by mosquitoes on both of my knees. The bites became infected and deteriorated into a threatening case of blood poisoning. For over a month, I was pricked repeatedly with penicillin shots, and my knees had to be lanced and drained twice daily to remove the infection. It was excruciatingly painful and quite terrifying for a 10-year-old kid. To this day, I carry scars on my knees from the numerous lancings. All because of something as tiny as a mosquito.
James, the half-brother of Jesus, warns us of another little thing that can also be very destructive. He says that even though the tongue is little, it boasts great things. Its like a small spark that sets a great forest on fire (3:5). Although the tongue is small, there is nothing small about the damage it can do. Words carry with them the power of healing or a destructive capacity far greater than the poison of any mosquito bite.
It is essential that we use our words with great wisdom and care. Consider carefully the words you choose. Will they be seasoned with the balm of grace or with the poison of anger?
A careless word may kindle strife,
A cruel word may wreck a life,
A timely word may lessen stress,
A loving word may heal and bless. Anon.

Had a good meeting with great singing tonight. Great! I was there in spirit, you know.......right in the front row.
I remember the great singing from the meeting we attended, "The Praisemen", I think they were. I have a couple of their CD's. If your spirit doesn't get moved listening them, then you might wanna check to see if you have one. ;-)
Hope you are all packed and ready to launch. 10-9-8-
LOL. Well, not quite, but I am off to get my shaggy hair cut. One more thing I can check off of my list. Later, Nan!
To: Mama_Bear
At least you’ve managed to find time for a haircut. Mine is probably stay shaggy. Stay cool.

Good morning Mayor. Timely indeed! I had literally just finished a discussion with my grandchildren about not calling each other names when I popped up your post. I had them both come and read it. Thanks.

Graphic by Billie
The Cow
The friendly cow all red and white,
I love with all my heart:
She gives me cream with all her might,
To eat with apple-tart.
She wanders lowing here and there,
And yet she cannot stray,
All in the pleasant open air,
The pleasant light of day;
And blown by all the winds that pass
And wet with all the showers,
She walks among the meadow grass
And eats the meadow flowers.
~~ Robert Louis Stevenson ~~
