I can’t blame it ALL on the kittens..I am a born night owl.
(((HUGS)))
This time of year I do hate missing daylight..as there seems to be so little of it..

[MEG33]

They just finished watching me go out to feed a raccoon..Rocky Balboa is making bread on my bed..Smokey and Silky were lounging when the raccoon came..It is only during what should be normal sleeping hours that races through the house, unknown crashes are heard and I am protecting Mother’s antique loveseat from being used as a scratching post..it seems..LOL.

[Lady Jag]

Must have been a muse.

[Lady Jag]

A driveby musing.

[MEG33]

LOL..and I am glad you liked my chipmunk..We don’t have them here..and I think they are so cute.

[NicknamedBob]

"A driveby musing."

Hmm. If atypical is anything but typical, then it stands to reason that amusing is not a musing.

[La Enchiladita]

Ruh-oh. You must remind them how very lucky they are to have YOU to live with and provide all this a-muse-ment for them:-)!!

Yipee! Couldn't get the DVD program to work, so I got the original avi files, captured a print off of it and presto, our Veteran's Choir at church on Sunday...

Thank you for the nice picture of so many of our wonderful veterans. Wish we could have heard their singing. Even though I have seen ‘your’ picture on F. R. before, I couldn’t pick you out.

Congratulations to all of you for the good work you are doing.

Whom Will You Trust?

READ: Philippians 3:1-11

By grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. —Ephesians 2:8

Ayn Rand, an American philosopher who died in 1982, gathered a sizable following who read her books and attended her lectures. An avid individualist, she had this to say: “Now I see the free face of god and I raise this god over all the earth, this god who men have sought since men came into being, the god who will grant them joy and peace and pride. This god, this one word, I.” When asked if she believed in God, she answered, “This god is myself, I.” Egotism—faith in oneself—that’s what this philosopher believed in.

The apostle Paul bore witness to a trust that is exactly the opposite of that misplaced self-confidence. He declared, “[We] worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh” (Phil. 3:3). He put his trust solely in Jesus Christ, who is God incarnate, the true God of love and mercy.

We read in the book of Ephesians, “By grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God” (2:8).

Are we embracing the philosophy of egotism, which is really a confidence that will prove eternally self-destructive? Or have we, like Paul, embraced the self-sacrificing grace of Jesus Christ?

By grace now I’m saved—Hallelujah!
Praise God, and through faith it’s been done;
Naught of myself, but believing
In the finished work of His Son. —Gladwin

We are saved not by what we do but by trusting what Christ has done.

Bible in One Year: Ezekiel 40–42; Proverbs 16:1-11

Happy Thursday Morning To Amy's Place


It's foggy this morning but will burn off and be
in the mid 70s later
Wishing you all a good day.

[MEG33]

Amazing Grace! Thank you, Rus, for starting my day off right.

[The Mayor]

Mornin Meg. A little chilly and rainy here. Winter is on it’s way, yuk.
