Billie, when you posted that the last time, I copied it and pulled up a blank email and covered the whole page with those by just keeping on pasting. I still have it on an email page and wish you could see it. I went crazy with it.

I just loved it ‘cause, too.

So lovely, Pollywog.

Just wonderful, Dita! Thanks much.

Silly question...what is PSP, please? Billie, I found this and wanted to post it before I lose it in my many gifs. Just kidding but sometimes I do forget them. Hope you don't already have it.

Read A Banned Book

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Jeremiah 36:1-8,21-26

Write . . . all the words that I have spoken to you . . . that everyone may turn from his evil way, that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin. —Jeremiah 36:2-3

The American Library Association has designated this week as Banned Books Week in celebration of the freedom to read and to express one’s opinion “even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular.”

The Bible is the all-time bestselling book, but in some parts of the world it is banned because it’s considered dangerous. The Bible is dangerous, however, only to those who fear finding out that they are wrong. It’s dangerous to those who exploit the weak and the innocent, who use force to keep others enslaved in poverty and ignorance, who don’t want to give up their favorite sin, who believe that salvation can be found apart from Christ.

No one wants to be told they are wrong. No one wants to hear that their behavior is putting themselves and those they love in danger or that God’s patience will eventually wear out. Yet that was the message God told Jeremiah to write (Jer. 36:2). When His message was read to King Jehoiakim, the king cut up the scroll and threw it into the fire (v.23).

The only way to know we are right is to be willing to discover where we are wrong. Read the all-time bestselling banned book, and let it reveal to you the truth about God—and about yourself.

Lord Jesus, show Thyself to me
In very truth and deed;
Help me to find, O Christ, in Thee,
More than my deepest need. —Clarkson

The Bible shows us a picture of who we really are.

Bible in One Year: Jeremiah 13–15; Proverbs 2:1-11

Meg, I could not believe the smaller picture I saw (I believe from Dita) had over 500,000 bytes. Must have been the bright color?? And you reduced to a bit over 50,000. Amazing, isn’t it? I am new at it so very fascinated.

A beautiful Red Rose to Support Our Military today!

Hi Amy :)
Happy TGIF to you!


Your Thanksgiving get away sounds terrific! Marissa will get her math. I hope she has a good teacher helping her with it. It's not easy. I'm lucky Booboo gets it because I don't think I'd be much help. My son had a tough time too. He had a really good teacher in 6th grade that made such a difference for him.
Have a great weekend!!

[GodBlessUSA]

(((Dita)))
So very lovely! :)

Booboo is back at school. I'm just going to rest today.

Have a great day!

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

From an email on June 10th, 2006 - the author is unknown.
