This might take some rumination on your part

Rum-in-ation. Hmmmm. I think rum-in-my-tum might cheer me up.

[jaycee]

I thought you all had quit and I am ready to quit now. Sometimes I just can't find too much funny stuff, especially when my back is tired and hurting from over doing it today!! As much as I love ya'll's company, I must sign off! I liked that song...I remember it and by the way, I put a smidgen (sp.) of butter on it, stuck in the hot oven for 2 minutes and I can't tell you how good it was. I sure hope it wasn't fattening....I'll have to speed up that yoga! See you nice folks tomorrow, if I get time! Another busy day!

Poor kitty - can't make up her mind........

[fewz]

Good night.

[fewz]

Nothing quite like a “blind” cat, eh.

[yorkie]

Goodnight, JC! Sweet dreams.

[yorkie]

" I think rum-in-my-tum might cheer me up".

The cat found it first.

I'm ruminating about how short the
day is compared to my to-do list.

~Remembering Those Who Gave All~

"The Mansions of the Lord"
Words by Randall Wallace

To fallen soldiers let us sing
where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
to the mansions of the Lord

No more bleeding no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
just divine embrace, eternal light
in the mansions of the Lord

Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard tho the angels sleep
All through the ages safely keep the mansions
of the Lord

The Mansions Of The Lord
~Blessings To All Who Enter Here~

[fewz]

Now I don’t care who you are... that’s funny.

[fewz]

Beware less they get you for public rumination.

[fewz]

Ms Meg... when I think of the thousands who gave their lives to protect this nation from foreign enemies and then see what is being done to it daily by domestic enemies... I’m inclined to weep for both the fallen and those yet unborn. But no tears for those of us who sit at our keyboards and watch it happen.

[MEG33]

Good Morning, fewz

Indeed..Many have paid a price that can never be repaid
May God guide this nation and help us preserve it.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

[jaycee]

Such a lovely, blessed opening this morning, Meg! Just beautiful...thank you!

[MEG33]

Freedom Isn't Free

Thank you, jaycee,and thank you for the lovely tribute.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

[yorkie]

I never understood why we say "Happy Memorial Day".

How it became a day of picnics, hot dogs, cold beer, and big sales, I don't know.

Remembering those who gave their life, so we could have freedom, is not a 'happy' thought for me.

It is a somber, and greatful thought - and sad.

Here is a link with a lovely Memorial Day Tribute, sung by Vince Gill.

The Witness Of Friends

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: 1 John 1:1-7

We have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us. —1 John 1:2

Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Halberstam died in a traffic accident 5 months before the publication of his landmark book about the US war in Korea. In the days following the author’s death, fellow writers and colleagues volunteered to conduct a national book tour on his behalf. During every engagement, they paid tribute to Halberstam by reading from his new book and offering personal recollections of their friend.

When it comes to conveying the essence and importance of a person, there’s no substitute for a friend. After the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ, His followers began to tell others about the unique Person they had known. “We have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us” (1 John 1:2). Their purpose was that others might come to know God the Father and Christ His Son (v.3).

At times we may feel that witnessing to others about our faith in Christ is a frightening task or a burdensome duty. But talking about a Friend whose presence and influence have transformed our lives helps us see it in a new light.

The gospel of Christ has always been most powerfully presented by the witness of His friends.

Lord, help us see, through transformed eyes,
This world of people in despair;
We want to reach out with Your love
To tell them just how much You care. —Sper

The more you love Jesus, the more you’ll talk about Him.
Bible in One Year: 1 Chronicles 22-24; John 8:28-59

Some Gave All

Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute and song, yorkie
Many have sacrificed, many have mourned, so that I might enjoy
my freedoms.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

[MEG33]

Good Morning, Mayor

What a wonderful example of how to share the
"Good News!
Thank you for Our Daily Bread.

Beware less they get you for public rumination.

They already did. Arrested me for open and gross mastication on the beach.

Oh, the embarrassment!
