Thank you for your warm fuzzy kitties with the bluest eyes ever! I hope there are no fallen heroes to post today. :( It’s probably not a casualty-free day, but we can hope, and pray it is.

[Aquamarine]

All these animal pic’s but this one is TOO cute! :)

[jaycee]

Kitty's getting sleepy!
Goodnight ~All~
Thanks, Billie!

[Diver Dave]

It’s not warm and fuzzy around here... It’s downright HOT! Currently 96 @ 5:53pm PDT.

I’m stimulating the economy around here runnin’ the air conditioner. Spendin’ $$$ to cool the house and MID passes my $$$ onto their employees. No demonrat taxes involved. Just straight Capitalism at work... like it should.

[Aquamarine]

Forgot how to make a comment!
Meant to say - These animal pic’s are cute but this one is TOO cute!

[Billie]

All these animal pic’s but this one is TOO cute! :)

You don't think these fat little tummies are cute?

[Billie]

LOL! I just read your first post and was puzzled that you didn’t think those adorable little puppies were cute!

[Aquamarine]

DUH! I can’t believe you answered that (((Billie))). LOL

[Billie]

You know, our little pets are never cuter than when they're sleepy or sleeping. That's when they are the most lovable. This kitten is precious - those eyes!

Feel better tomorrow, please! G'nite, jaycee.

[Billie]

LOL! Wish I'd waited until read the second one! Just couldn't imagine what you didn't like about the puppies! Hope you like this one:

[Aquamarine]

Love it! It reminds me of this oldie of Daisy in Cades Cove.

[Billie]

Hi, Dave - California seems to have really been experiencing hot weather this year. Good for you for doing your part to stimulate the economy. :)

Hope your grandson is doing much better today!

[Billie]

It does! Has the same kind of look to it! Cuties!

I need to say goodnight - you probably are gone, too. See you later - next week for sure!

[Billie]

Nite, All. Thanks for being an important part of Amy's Place... and Warm Fuzzy Wednesday. :)

[luvie]

Goodnight! Sweet dreams!
*yawn*

[Kitty Mittens]

Goodnight, Dear Billie, Dear Amy, and All FRiends.
Sweet Jaycee, Prayers that you Feel Better Tomorrow.

Good night to all at Amy’s Place!
My best friend signed up to be a Freeper this week!
Her handle is “horsemom”. We share a love for horses and follow the same natural horsemanship system (Dennis Reis, www.reisranch.com). I also told her hubby about FR, and perhaps he’ll join after reading FR for a while. I was able to win him over (he voted for O) with home make cookies, and now he promises to vote for conservatives. He’s not happy with O, and the Cookie Diplomacy worked in less than one year! It was the Toll House Cookies that got him! My first political conversion victory! A big JimRob WOO HOO on that!!!

Off to sleepy land now. To sleep, perchance to dream...

[JustAmy]

That sound great, TCP.

How about if I ping her tomorrow and Welcome her to FR?

[ST.LOUIE1]

For some reason, this one made me think of you. :) Beneath that tough guy exterior,
we all know you are just a softie!

Sorry to disappoint........

I had him for lunch.

Burp!

Wolfie

hahahahaha!!

READ: Philippians 1:8-18

I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel. —Philippians 1:12

On a map in the back of my Bible, each of Paul’s missionary journeys is shown by a colored line with arrows indicating his direction of travel. On the first three, the arrows lead away from his place of departure and back to a point of return. On the fourth journey, however, Paul was traveling as a prisoner, bound for trial before Caesar, and the arrows point only one direction, ending in Rome.

We might be tempted to call this an unfortunate time in Paul’s life, if it were not for his view that God was leading and using him just as much on this journey as He did on the previous three.

He wrote: “I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ; and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the Word without fear” (Phil. 1:12-14).

Even when our journey in life is marked by confinement and limitations, we can be sure that the Lord will encourage others through us as we speak His Word and trust in Him.

The journeys that we take in life,
Though unexpected they may be,
If we commit to follow Christ,
His work through us the world will see. —Sper

For the Christian, what looks like a detour may actually be a new road to blessing.
Bible in One Year: Psalms 140-142; 1 Corinthians 14:1-20
