They are setting me up for more injections. The girl will call me when they get the appointment. She said the office she was trying to get ahold of had their computers down this afternoon.

Hannity had a special on the water problem in California last night. There were loads of protesters there! Water was cut off and locked....the ground was dried and parched! It was caused by some little tiny fish, Hannity said. (about the size of a minnow.) Do you know about that one, Amy?

Sorry I'm so late posting this - my internet has been down since 5:00 pm yesterday - just came back up. Damned Squirrels!



Happy Friday to Amy’s Place!

LOL! Doesn’t matter if you post late....just so you post our favorite People in Red! Did the squirrels chew the wires or something?

I watched that show last night, Jaycee. It makes me sick what is happening to California.

I could not attend the rally. Marissa had AWANA and I did not want to take a chance getting caught in the crowd and miss picking her up on time.

Probably squirrels! I have a lot here, sure hope they don’t do it here. If I were you, I would almost plan me a hunting trip in the yard....LOL! Those little boogers climb right up my brick house!

A couple of weeks ago I came in from Lowe’s and laid a bag of birdseed on the glider. Carried everything in the house and forgot to pick up the birdseed. Next morning, the corner was chewed off, seed all over glider and floor....what a mess I had and I don’t have to tell you how much birdseed costs! If I would have had my gun. Big talk from me, I couldn’t shoot one. LOL!

Amy, its hard for me to believe they would put that little minnow character before people who need to work and feed their families! Its too hard for me to comprehend. Someone needs to grab the bull by the horns out there and get something done about that situation!

They have knocked our power out before and usually they are electrocuted.

If you don’t mind my asking, how is your mother in law doing? Do they still have that prayer site up?

Jaycee, it has been amazing to watch her use the computer...only problem is she purchased a used APPLE and I am a PC’er!! I had to learn the inside out about a Mac which took me weeks. She does well though and it blesses her so. She looks forward to my “ coffee time” with her each morning via the internet. I especially love sending her the flowers and animals.

Good Night all...

...and you got the ‘plug-ins’ for it okay too? (You install the program, then the plug-ins - pretty simple, but there are two pieces to the install.)

I have been using one version or another for probably six or so years. ...I hope you like it.

Thank you, jaycee..
I hope you are doing better at your house cleaning chores than I am..My ambition needs a jump start..like company coming to spur me on.
I may get that soon as my daughter and son in law are looking to buy a house nearer his main office in Dallas.
They want to come by and pick me up to go see a house they have bid on. then come back here and spend the night within the next month.Bidding is a slower process as a bank owns the house.
I changed the vacuum cleaner bag...showing good intentions?
LOL

A Much Greater Plan
Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.” —Luke 5:10

Recently our family was in Erie, Pennsylvania, visiting a relative. While there, we had a chance to swim in the community swimming pool. It was fun, but our host wanted to take us to Lake Erie to enjoy the sandy beaches, the cresting waves, and the beauty of the setting sun. My children protested because they wanted to swim in the pool. But I tried to get them to see that going to the beaches of Presque Isle would be a much greater plan.

I believe Jesus wanted Simon Peter to see He had something much greater in mind for him—he would “catch men” (Luke 5:10) instead of fish. Jesus told Peter to go to the deeper water and let down his nets for a catch (v.4). Peter had just returned from an unsuccessful night of fishing, but at Jesus’ command he obeyed and said, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net” (v.5). Humbled by the miraculous catch of fish, Peter bowed in awe before the Lord, who then told him that from that point on He wanted him to fish for men. Peter left everything and followed Him.

God’s greater plan for us may not be to leave our occupation. But it’s His plan that we use our time, resources, and careers to bring others into the kingdom.

For Further Study
