It made my heart hurt! It went black in the store and all you could see out in the parking lot was blue light. It looked like a police car convention and they all had their lights on!

We are so spoiled! So used to swiping and leaving, having to wait a minute for someone to pay cash or write a check... LOL

I would think that if a butterfly lit on you it ought to be good for something! Awe, if nothing else. Certainly brightened my day!

Hey Meg!

I wanna be that cat!

That’s where my dogs are right now. Rotten. :)

;o)
I lost both my computer and HD TV last night..I did all the unplugging, waiting etc..nothing..My HD cable box would not reboot either..I still had A/C I philosophically mused..so all was well. It’s in the 90s at 9 oclock!
Finally got it all back...late.
I have a normal sleeping schedule back..The only way to do it is to lose sleep so I’ve been a walking zombie this week.

[MEG33]

You need a kitty, jaycee...I love having mine so much.

[MEG33]

Awww...That’s so sweet.

Granville Sharp

READ: James 1:19-27

Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. —James 1:22

When I was a Bible college student, a name occasionally mentioned in Greek class was that of Granville Sharp. He was a renowned Greek scholar (1735–1813) whose studies resulted in principles of biblical interpretation that continue to guide our understanding of the original language of the New Testament.

To study the Scriptures and learn the powerful truths they contain is a noble exercise but, no matter how deeply we study, it is not enough. James challenged us to understand this when he wrote: “But be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was” (James 1:22-24).

Granville Sharp understood this and put his faith into practice. In addition to being a biblical scholar, he also fought to eradicate slavery in England. Sharp said, “A toleration of slavery is, in effect, a toleration of inhumanity.” His biblical understanding of the worth of a human soul and the justice of a holy God compelled him to act on his beliefs.

We can benefit from Sharp’s passion for the Word—and for living out the truth that Word contains.

It is God’s will that we should read
His Word from day to day,
Not just for knowledge, but much more—
To love Him and obey. —Hess

We don’t really know the Bible unless we obey the Bible.
Bible in One Year: Psalms 74-76; Romans 9:16-33

Good morning, GG!
Just having my first cup of coffee,
And reading about your beautiful butterfly!
Hope your day is going to be a really good one!

Great Graphic, for today, JC!

Or the butterflies the most!
Thank you for the cutest Saturday Caturday opening!!
