Yes Luv, it sure is and especially if the Dems get the majority of the Congress, by cheating on every election as possible. That Al Franken is the biggest joke of all. I cannot believe people are voting for a comedian like they are. Lots of dummies out there~~~LOL~~have a good day, Luv.

How Will They Know?

READ: 1 John 4:7-21

He who loves God must love his brother also. —1 John 4:21

Did you ever notice that some Christians act decidedly un-Christian while trying to prove how godly they are?

One example is a man who angrily shuts his hymnbook and pouts through the rest of the service if the song leader does not sing every verse of a song.

Another example is the church where members argue against adding a new service geared toward youth, because they dislike the music.

Then there is the church in which the middle aisle is a demarcation line between two social classes of people who refuse to mix.

As Christians, we must stand for truth as spelled out in the Bible. Though truth was not violated in any of these situations, these professing followers of Christ acted in decidedly unloving ways. They chose to protect personal preferences rather than demonstrate the love of Jesus to a watching world.

As we read 1 John 4:7-21, we see that God’s love seeks to transform our behavior. In His love, we don’t react disdainfully toward others simply because we don’t agree.

Jesus said, “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35). Do others see the love of Jesus in you?

May all I am and do and say
Give glory to my Lord alway,
And may no act of mine cause shame
Nor bring reproach upon His name. —Anon.

A church with one heart and one mind will make for a won world.

That’s why it warms the cockles of my heart; it reminds me of Texas.

Blue Lady

There is a blue of azure skies, a blue of painter’s brush,
There is a blue of flowers held, to yield a maiden’s blush.
There is a blue of wondering, as to what she soon will do,
And the blue of future musings whether it will be with you.

A blue of summer days that are encompassed by the hue,
And the blue of distant mountains in her unobstructed view.
But the blue that will disturb her is not fear of something new,
It’s the blue that will engulf her if you prove not to be true.

I, too, have ‘boycotted’ the major news channels since the election. (And, probably will, for the next four years.)

And, I use the remote or ‘mute’ button, ALWAYS, when that screaming Billy Mays comes into my house! I can’t stand him! It is beyond me - that any station would actually pay that guy to advertise their merchandise. If Billy Mays is selling - I’m not buying!!

[MEG33]

LOL..Birds of a feather..I like our “club”

HAPPY CATURDAY TO AMY’S PLACE!

Enjoy your Saturday!!!

[MEG33]

LOL..I have gone to sleep with the television on, sleeping soundly..and along comes Billy Mays to wake me up! I swear they up the volume to his already annoying speaking voice.

One more for our club..I have boycotted MSM news for years except for local news..I am back to watching Brit hume at times but I still mute and won’t look if that one is being pictured and discussed..

[Lady Jag]

Boy, time flies when you're having fun!

[yorkie]

Looks like "that one" will be showing 'it's' face and voice a lot in the next four years - and I for one will be watching Animal Planet (or even worse), the History Channel. LOL! Which brings me to this point. The major news networks only survive on one thing: Money. That money comes from sponsors. If sponsors don't sell their 'goods', they stop paying for advertising. With the economy like it is, and so many businesses going 'under', I wouldn't be surprised to see at least a couple of these major news channels shut down, completely.

Good Morning... Wow it has been a while since I checked in with you all. You keep busy! It has been a very sad two weeks for me. Two of my dear friends are going through heartbreak. A dear friend lost her daughter ( only age 24), due to cancer, and said their goodbyes this morning at a service in New York. Another friend is saying goodbye to three grandchildren that have been in her custody for 5 months. The court granted the father custody. A real sad situation... so I have been aching for them.

Along with that I have been the support for my sister Marilyn ,who husband has had a critical heart surgery this past week. He came through good, Praise God.

I made a tribute for her on Youtube... Sending the link here. I love Brooklyn Tabernacle choir and this is my all time favorite song they sing... Waving Good Afternoon to you all
