OK - So it's not Patrick Swayze, (or cows), but hey. This is supposed to be a family friendly site. ;-)

Thanks, Cardi. It looks like our hidden image has a cold and is getting some needed rest. Maybe it's just altitude sickness.

Thanks for all your videos. I was looking for some of the images depicted, like the cow that stole the punchline "Moo." LOL!

Elephants Down
On the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may rest. —Exodus 23:12

When rainy-season storms caused flooding in a nature preserve in Thailand, seven elephant calves became unlikely victims. As they tried to ford a river at their usual crossing point, dangerous currents swept them over a 250-foot waterfall. Wildlife advocates said the loss could have been prevented. A spokesperson for the Thailand Wildlife Fund complained that the protective barriers, which had been built at the crossing where four other young elephants had died earlier, were useless.

Long before animal rights became a global issue, the story of Jonah shows the attention our Creator gives to all His creatures. As the story ends, the Lord expresses concern not only for the citizens of Nineveh but also for their livestock (Jonah 4:11). And earlier, God gave Moses laws that extended certain protections even to animals (Ex. 23:4-5,12).

Though humans alone are made in the image of God, the story of Jonah and other Bible texts show a link between caring for people and animals. The Creator gives us reason to provide appropriate, though different, attention to both.

The conclusion seems clear. If God cares even for livestock, how can we ignore the needs of any person for whom His Son died?

In trees and flowers of the field,
In creatures large and small,
We trace the watchful care of Him
Who planned and made them all. —King

God cares for us and calls us to care for His creation.


Bible in One Year: 2 Corinthians 1–5; Proverbs 7:6-27

Hi Amy
Missy has done a lot this summer. We were busier earlier in the month but this past couple of weeks have been quiet.

It's so darn hot too that we don't venture out till later in the day. She reads, we play monopoly or something but then that darn tv. Next month hopefully, she'll do more. Sometimes I worry because I want her to be entertained each day but that's not happening. That's fine too. :) Before we know it they will be back to school again and busy again.

So good to hear from you and glad you have hummingbirds. I do enjoy watching them so much. I cleaned my feeder yesterday and made some new sugar water. The ants aren’t as bad after its cleaned real good but they eventually are back.

G.B., I was wondering if your little girl likes to play with dolls. My granddaughters used to dress their dolls and play with them. (They also liked little cars). I had a little Disney -like thing and it ran on batteries and I would set it up in the living room because its so quiet there and they loved it best of all. This little thing had tracks where animals ran on in little cars and it had a small ferris wheel. I found it at a yard sale and cleaned it up real well (germs) and it was a lucky find. All the Barbie stuff is in my attic along with my son’s G.I. Joe’s.....ut.oh! LOL~~ Sounds like you all have been pretty busy though.

Great presentation - now I will have to learn some more about Manchu Picchu, today!

Mountains hide many images - like this one for instance. See how many animals you can find in this picture:

The memories of your grand daughters playing Barbie's must be terrific. That's great you saved those toys. I would love to see the GI Joe from back then.

She use to but she is into horses now. So she imaginary plays with toy horses. She is getting to the age where imaginary play is less and less. Time flies. She actually does a lot HTML on the computer. Amazes me. She is teaching herself to do animation. I hope she teaches me after she learns. ;)
