Thanks, PGalt.

Nat was one of a kind, a very recognizable voice. Whenever I see a ballerina, I think of Dance, Ballerina, Dance. There is a Frank Sinatra version on YouTube but it does not compare to Nat’s version.

Thank you for Clair De Lune, Amy. I have always
enjoyed that one - and it's even prettier with
those graceful, floating ballerina pictures.

It's a nice one to hear just before saying goodnight.

Thanks for being here today and sharing
your sweet ballerinas, poems and posts.

Saying goodnight as "Clair De Lune" from Amy's
post above plays softly in the background.

With all this fancy toe dancing going on, I’m getting tired!

I’m going to bed now.

Who Is Deaf?
The Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save . . . . [But] your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear. —Isaiah 59:1-2

A man told his doctor that he thought his wife was going deaf. The doctor told him to conduct a simple test. When the man reached the front door of his home, he called out, “Darling, is dinner ready?” Hearing no response, he walked inside and repeated himself. Still no reply. On the third try, when he was just behind her, he finally heard her say, “For the third time, yes!”

Similarly, the ancient Israelites thought God was deaf when the problem was actually with them. Isaiah was a prophet sent to warn God’s people about impending judgment, but his message fell on deaf ears. Instead of being God’s covenant people, who were to bring light to those in darkness and release them from the dungeons of sin (42:7), they refused to hear Him. “They would not walk in His ways, nor were they obedient to His law” (v.24).

The prophet explained why their prayers seemed to fall on deaf ears: “The Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God” (Isa. 59:1-2). One reason for not receiving answers from God is that sin may be blocking our hearing. Let’s examine ourselves carefully.

Our God isn’t hard of hearing.

Nothing between my soul and the Savior,
Naught of this world’s delusive dream;
I have renounced all sinful pleasure,
Jesus is mine; there’s nothing between. —Tindley

God speaks through His Word to those who listen with their heart.

Bible in One Year: Psalms 31-32; Acts 23:16-35

Amy, I am listening to your Claire de Lune now. It has always been a favorite....so soothing. Thank you, I enjoyed all your pretty graphics today. Missed you all...LOL~~! My son teases me about being addicted to F.R. and Amy’s Place (but he is glad I enjoy something so much.)

I woke up to your pretty ballerina graphic this morning. Thank you for all the pretties today! It was a lovely thread!

I hope to be winding up all my loose ends with the accident today! Must tell you something funny. I think this little tiny cloud has been following me around...LOL! Last Wednesday, the oil light came on, on that Rental. I took it to them and we had to switch me to another car. Both cars were 2009 cars. My son dropped by this morning and said "Mom, your rental car has a flat." I was going to take it back anyway this morning. I have already made 3 phone calls this morning and its only 8:15! The rental people are coming to fix the tire and then they will take it back for me...LOL!

These are just a few of my tales! Things will be looking up, I hope! (I will stick to this phrase "Things could be worse".) Right??

I have the same cloud over me. First Hubby's car, then mine. We rented a car and 2 hours later, 45 minutes from home, we were at a gas station broken down with flat and oil light on. No kidding. Hmm, wonder if they set us up. ;) The guy originally told me to change the tire. Yeah right!
Big HUGS!!
