Today’s thread was fun. Thanks for all your work ... not only with the thread but fighting FR all day. That makes me tired.

When I googled diamonds, that blue “sapphire” popped up. I think it is beautiful. It is a rock I wouldn’t mind collecting. :)

Thanks, Amy - see you tomorrow. Appreciate you and AP. Loved the blue sapphire & diamond ring. :)

Hope Fotki is not having serious problems! Do you have your graphics saved on your pc or a CD or any where else you might access them if you had to? I really need to go - am sleepy. See you in the morning.

[JustAmy]

My graphics are on an external hard drive. If need be, I can upload the ones I need to Photobucket tomorrow. A couple of them are already there.

See you tomorrow. Sweet dreams, Billie.

Nighty-night! See ya!

Evenin' Amy, Billie, all.

Don't know if I'll be around tomorrow (Wed) so thought I'd post this tonight in honor of Constitution Day 2008.

Some may remember this Pledge Pic from years ago that Billie created with a pic of our grandson...

Five years later (or is it six?) Logan is a first-grader and has learned something I thought worth sharing via a short video... turn up your speakers

Your Mums, look like Fall is here.

It has cooled off here also, at night, days still warm.

Have a special day, one for the memory book.

Your two words tickled me today. (tnanks and autist) I didn’t realize what autist was until you explained. LOL~~~Sometimes we have fun and don’t even realize it! Duh?

I was glancing through yesterday's thread and got tickled at this once more! Not too many people can misspell a misspelled word. I can! LOL!

He’s There All The Time

READ: Isaiah 45:18-25

I did not say . . . , “Seek Me in vain.” —Isaiah 45:19

I’ll never forget my frustrating experience when I went to Chicago’s Union Station early one morning to pick up an elderly relative who was arriving by train. When I got there, she wasn’t where I thought she would be. With increasing anxiety I scoured the place—to no avail. Thinking she had missed her train, I was about to leave when I glanced down a hallway toward the baggage area. There she was, luggage at her feet, patiently waiting for me to arrive. She had been there all the time. And, to my chagrin, she was right where she was supposed to be.

It’s that way with God. He’s there, patiently waiting for us. He assures us, “I did not say . . . , ‘Seek Me in vain’” (Isa. 45:19). Why, then, do we often have trouble finding Him? Probably because we are looking in all the wrong places.

You’ll find Him right where He is supposed to be—in His Word, in prayer, and in the voice of the Holy Spirit who lives within you. The God who says “seek, and you will find” (Matt. 7:7) also promises that “He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Heb. 11:6). So, you can rejoice that God is right where He is supposed to be, and He’s waiting for you right now.

The Lord is near to all who call;
He promised in His holy Word
That if we will draw near to Him,
Our faintest heartcry will be heard. —Hess

Have we been looking for God in all the wrong places?

It is such a beautiful day here. The birds are singing pretty songs.
Wishing you a beautiful day, too.

[gardengirl]

I second that! All of the above. :)

Beautiful, you two.

[gardengirl]

**I love pansies**

Me, too! They’re so cheery, and here, they’re our longest blooming annual. :)

[gardengirl]

Mornin! You always find the greatest flower pics!

That one looks like a David Austin from J&P. They’re beautiful, and I can’t sell them. Go figure! They look like old fashioned roses, they have great scents and disease resistance. My J&P rep said it’s not just us—they’re not good sellers anywhere.

[MEG33]

Thank you, gardengirl..I love to go on flower hunts on the net..That is an old favorite picture.

[MEG33]

Wonderful, Diver.
