Don't think love is the right word for what he felt but it does start with an L. He said that Melissa needed him, maybe it turned out that he didn't like being needed and wanted the independent Molly. Molly didn't help things when she left so ungraciously and kept telling him that he was making a mistake. Wonder how she would have felt if it had been the other way around and Melissa did that?

BINGO! I don't know if you watched Part 2 tonight of "After the Final Rose", but he said that what she said about him making a mistake, etc. was the very thing that made him start thinking about her (Molly) again and questioning if he made the right choice with Melissa. One man in the audience said that if he had been as shaken up as Jason was when he said goodbye to Molly, he dang sure wouldn't be proposing to someone else in the next few minutes!

Have been enjoying your music Billie. Like the way you set the music up with a graphic of the Artist’s with the link inside.

Thanks, I'm glad you've enjoyed the music. I know I posted more of the 'kind' I like best but tried to get a LITTLE bit of variety in! I thought I was going to have about a dozen songs - there were 17, counting Johnny Cash! Guess I had a hard time knowing when to stop! LOL

I think that ‘night together in the lover’s suite’ is a very bad idea.

I agree, but that's something I'm sure they'll never cut out, and probably even if any of the girls didn't really want to stay overnight as a couple, I'm sure they've watched enough previous shows to know it would seal their fate at the next rose ceremony. One season I watched, ONE of the three girls didn't "accept" the suite - and she was the next one who didn't get a rose. Shame, isn't it.

[Billie]

Hi, Kitty, thank you! It’s a good one, isn’t it?

[Billie]

Oh, Amy, your graphic is the cutest thing!!! I love it! The graphic itself is adorable but the musical frame really sets it off! Too cute!

You had a busy day. Thanks for coming back tonight. I'm so glad you enjoyed the music, and I'm really looking forward to TOMORROW'S! (You could post it tonight if you're still here. It's already after midnight on the East Coast, and less than an hour away here in Central.) :)

[JustAmy]

Thanks, Billie.

I enjoyed adding the musical frame. I have tried it a couple of times but I wasn’t impressed. Seems it fit this little graphic. I was happy it came together because I didn’t get it finished before we had to leave.

I may post tomorrow’s Opener tonight. I’m tired tonight and it would give me a little extra time in the morning.

[Billie]

It did fit that cute little graphic perfectly! Your next cowboy is awfully cute, too.

I bet you are tired. It's been a fun day, but I'm ready to say goodnight, too.

If you post it now, it will be ready for the early East Coast risers and you can take it easy in the morning. :)

[Billie]

Goodnight, All - Happy Trails - Until We Meet Again and all that!

Shoot! I should have uploaded that song to say goodnight (I didn't think of it early enough) Thank you all. :)

[JustAmy]

Nite, Billie.

Happy Trails would have been perfect .... heck we can’t think of everything.

An Ocean Of Ink

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Ephesians 3:14-19

To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge. —Ephesians 3:19

The words of the hymn “The Love of God” capture in word pictures the breathtaking magnitude of divine love:

Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies
of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry,
Nor could the scroll
contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky.

These marvelous lyrics echo Paul’s response to the love of God. The apostle prayed that believers might “be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge” (Eph. 3:18-19). In reflecting on these verses about God’s love, some Bible scholars believe “width” refers to its worldwide embrace (John 3:16); “length,” its existence through all ages (Eph. 3:21); “depth,” its profound wisdom (Rom. 11:33); and “height,” its victory over sin opening the way to heaven (Eph. 4:8).

We are admonished to appreciate this amazing love. Yet as we expand our awareness of God’s love, we soon realize that its full measure is beyond our understanding. Even if the ocean were filled with ink, using it to write about the love of God would drain it dry.  — Dennis Fisher

 

God’s love cannot be explained—it can only be experienced.

Bible in One Year: Numbers 31-33; Mark 9:1-29

Thank you for the wonderful Daily Bread message, Mr. Mayor.

"Even if the ocean were filled with ink, using it to write about the love of God would drain it dry." (Powerful words.)
