You're so sweet, Kitty, thank you. I love your Veterans Day graphic with the sun shining through the flag.

Strawberry’s good. :)

LOL! I had to look at your url to see ‘what’ kind of ‘critter’ that was supposed to be, but, hey......it’s chocolate. :)

[Billie]

Thank you, Luv! I knew we could count on you for a great salute - and with music!

My apologies extended. So far I’m unable to open the DVD on my ‘puter to capture the songs or even a still photo.

Nonetheless, I was able to view the DVD on a regular player for the first time and it did sound great.

Off to search through all these programs to find one to open the disc. Meanwhile, I called my brudder and fil and thanked em. My fil’s response was “Oh cripes, that was too long ago.” I said, “Maybe so, but it’s something to be remembered and I thank you.” Maybe that’s why I’m his favorite son-in-law. Never mind that I’m the only sil. :)

Well, drats! I thought a computer would play any DVD. I know that when I record something on a DVD, it will usually play on my pc, but not necessarily on another DVR, unless I format the DVD to 'make it compatible' to other DVD players.

Thank you for trying - if you get it to work, I hope you'll share it with us.

[jaycee]

So precious!

[jaycee]

Don’t you just love that? Perfect!

Did you get in to see your dentist today?

Good Early Morning Everyone
I have managed to get my sleep schedule on "night owl" again..
O My
Just wanted to wish you a good day..I must get some sleep and then get errands run.

[jaycee]

Thank you for the greeting. Now, that is my very favorite little critter, Meg. I love those little boogers and have them scampering around here. Don’t see them as much now as I did in early spring and summer.

~~Good Morning~~

Out Of Obscurity

READ: 2 Kings 22:3-11

I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the Lord. —2 Kings 22:8

In an old house close to a Civil War battleground in Virginia, workers are painstakingly restoring graffiti. Unsightly scribbling similar to what we scrub from public view is considered a clue to knowledge of the past. Workers are ecstatic when a new letter or word emerges from obscurity to provide information that has remained hidden for over 145 years.

The story brings to mind a scene in ancient Israel when Hilkiah the priest found the long lost book of the law in the temple of the Lord. The very words of God, entrusted to the nation of Israel, had been ignored, forgotten, and eventually lost. But King Josiah was determined to follow the Lord, so he instructed the priest to restore worship in the temple. In the process, the Law of Moses was discovered.

But an even greater discovery was yet to be made. Many years later, after meeting Jesus, Philip reported to his friend Nathanael: “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law” (John 1:45 NIV).

People today get excited about discovering the scribbles of Civil War soldiers. How much more exciting it is to discover the words of Almighty God expressed in the Word made flesh, Jesus the Messiah.

The treasures of the Word of God
Are great beyond compare;
But if we do not search them out,
We cannot use what’s there. —Sper

The Bible is old, but its truths are always new.
