I didn’t think your place would be threatened. The vegetation is also not thick between where the fire is and your place.

I’d think it would be hard to get to Oak Creek Canyon, too. Would be interesting, afterward, to talk to the fire fighters and see if they came across any . . . interesting gov types and sites fighting that fire.

Hope you and buddy are well.

LOL! She doesn’t give an inch when she asks a question and they dodge it!

Thank you, jaycee. Looking forward to the pictures you plan to post later today.

I have several errands I need to run today and will be gone for much of the afternoon, but hope to get caught up with pings before the day is over.

“Are we approaching “the race that is set before us” (Heb. 12:1) with a hit-or-miss spiritual regimen or with purpose and discipline born from a desire to please God?”

An important question, indeed.

[geologist]

“But in His resurrection, Jesus revealed His true identity. He is the conquering King—ultimate royalty! Since “God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name” (Phil. 2:9), how much more should we adoringly worship Him who, in such surrendered humility, died so that He could become our victorious King!________________________________________________________

Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!

Psalm 98:4
“... The psalmist wrote: “Let the sea roar, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell in it; . . . let the hills be joyful together before the Lord” (vv.7-9). Let us join God’s creation in singing praise to our Savior!”

Glory to God!

The Rub

To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 't is nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep: No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heartache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to,-'t is a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there 's the rub: For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there 's the respect That makes calamity of so long life; For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of despised love, the law's delay, The insolence of office and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? who would fardels 1 bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action. William Shakespeare

He’s in such deep doo-doo that he should be condemned.

[Lady Jag]

That’s why I posted it - because I wanted to read it again.

Too bad Zero never read much.

HI, been into any mischief of note?

I just finished goofing off for the weekend and now have to get back to writing my business plan.

Great posts today, just goes to show that Mondays don’t have to be terrible, (At least not every Monday)

[Lady Jag]

I do believe it is that deep.
