I would like to say thank you to your son for serving our Country!....(he is tall..LOL) He is another one of our heroes!

Before I have to run, I wanted to thank you for your compliments. I received the best one from Billie. She said when she saw the butterfly post (before she saw my name) she thought it was one of yours. Gee, what a compliment! ~smile~

Enjoy your family as much as possible as I am sure you will. There is nothing better than having those we love visit with us.

Have a wonderful Lord's Day Everyone!

I am off to church, dog walk & then come home to plant the annuals that have been in containers in my yard for weeks "waiting".

I did get my lawn mower back Friday & did some mowing yesterday - watching very carefully for rocks. NEW mower with 61 dollars of repair is terrible! 3 dollars part & rest labor.

Going this PM to see the movie The Soloist. The other night had some people over for dinner & to see movie.. Saw the The Greatest Game. True story set in 1913 about a 20 year old peasant/caddie who wins the US Open & has a final play off round against his mentor/idol & he wins. If you haven't seen this movie, rent it /get it at library. Your grandkids & grandma can see it & NOT be offended & will be entertained.

Hugs & LOVE to all

For Sale: One Soul

READ: Matthew 16:24-28

What will a man give in exchange for his soul? —Matthew 16:26

One would think that selling one’s soul, as Faust offered his to the devil in Goethe’s Dr. Faustus, is only a figment of literary fiction. Medieval as it seems, however, several cases of soul-selling have occurred.

Wired magazine reported that a 29-year-old university instructor succeeded in selling his immortal soul for $1,325. He said, “In America, you can metaphorically and literally sell your soul and be rewarded for it.” One wonders how the purchaser intended to collect.

We can’t literally sell our soul, but we can lose our soul to gain something else. We need to ponder Jesus’ question, “What will a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Matt. 16:26). Our answers today would differ only in specifics from the responses of Jesus’ day: the world, the flesh, and the devil. The lusts that captivate us and the thirst for unbridled pleasure, success, revenge, or material things have certainly taken on far more importance to many people than any considerations of eternity.

Nothing on earth compares to the gifts of God’s love and forgiveness. If the pleasures of this world are preventing you from trusting in Jesus Christ, please think again. It’s not worth the cost of your eternal soul.

Rejoice, O soul, the debt is paid,
For all our sins on Christ were laid;
We’ve been redeemed, we’re justified—
And all because the Savior died. —D. De Haan

Jesus is the only fountain who can satisfy the thirsty soul.
Bible in One Year: 2 Chronicles 13-14; John 12:1-26

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day.
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray.
There’ll be no sadness, no sorrow,
No trouble, trouble I see.
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me.

Well the bear will be gentle,
And the wolves will be tame.
And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes.
And the beasts from the wild,
Shall be lead by a child.
And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes.

Peace In The Valley For Me - Elvis Presley
