Some have a passion for pencils Pencil Day and other days!

[La Enchiladita]

What a bunch of bummers to go through, Lady Jag. I’m glad you have recovered and wish you didn’t have these unwell times. (((Hugs)))

[Lady Jag]

This is a lifelong thing, Deets. What I was born with has picked up accomplices over the years and now I have a passel of specialists to run from and a wicked sense of humor. And I look good; it's better to look good than to feel good.

[JustAmy]

Ahhh, Lady.

Please know that we are wishing you well. Do you feel bad all the time or just have these awful spells?

I’ll offer a prayer for you tonight.

Hugs

[JustAmy]

Wonderful, Dolly. Thank you for sharing your pictures on James Garfield’s birthday.

My Ginkos still have some leaves but they are falling fast. I love the bright yellow of the Ginko in the fall.

Hope you had a good day.

[JustAmy]

LOL

Someone had a lot of spare time. :)

[JustAmy]

Wonderful, Luv.

Thank you for the Marine Corps graphic and the link to Marine Corps Hymn. Beautiful!

Hope you had a Warm Fuzzy Day.

[Lady Jag]

Her name is Jennifer Maestre. She’s done a bunch of pencil pieces that are all very good.

[JustAmy]

Thanks for the info.

Her work is amazing. Looks very tedious.

[Lady Jag]

It's rare and has become complicated. My whole system is acidotic. That screws up everything else and creates complications as time goes on. Like my thyroid failed, then my pancreas. I have respiratory problems and kidney stones and diabetes and arthritic and a few lesser things by comparison. I carry a list because I can't remember it all. My meds list is huge and over the course I've discovered a slew of meds that I'm allergic to.

Been going on so long that people have asked me if I studied medicine. In a way I guess I have.

[Lady Jag]

I’ve only looked at it, haven’t read anything about her or her technique. The first piece was like a vase and it fascinated me.

[yorkie]

LJ, I am amazed that you have maintained your wonderful sense of humor, with all the things you are dealing with! You are an inspiration to us ALL!! ((((((Lady Jag))))))

[yorkie]

Grabbin' a chance to say goodnight to y'all!
Sweet Dreams to each and every one!

[MEG33]

Hugs and Prayers,(((LadyJ)))
I missed you.

[MEG33]

Oh, yorkie! That is such a beautiful baby picture!
Sweet Dreams

Life’s Surprises

READ: 1 Samuel 16:1-7

The Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. —1 Samuel 16:7

No one watching Britain’s Got Talent (a popular televised talent show) expected much when mobile phone salesman Paul Potts took the stage. The judges looked skeptically at one another when the nervous, unassuming, ordinary-looking chap announced he would sing opera—until Potts opened his mouth.

He began to sing Puccini’s “Nessun Dorma”—and it was magical! The crowd roared and stood in amazement while the judges sat stunned in tearful silence. It was one of the greatest surprises any such television program has ever had, in large part because it came wrapped in such an ordinary package.

In the Old Testament, the rescuer of Israel arrived at the battlefield in a most unlikely form—a young shepherd boy (1 Sam. 17). King Saul and his entire army were surprised when David defeated Goliath and won the day. They needed to learn the way that God looks at people. He said to the prophet Samuel, “The Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” (16:7).

If we judge others only by their outer appearance, we might miss the wonderful surprise of what’s in their heart.

O Lord, we are so quick to judge,
Though much is veiled from sight;
Lord, may we see how just You are
To guide us in what’s right. —D. De Haan

It’s what’s in the heart that counts.

Bible in One Year: Daniel 7–9; Proverbs 18:13-24
