My sister and family are in Flagstaff right now as my nephew graduated yesterday from Northern Arizona State University. She said it was tretcherous driving the last bit on black ice!

Pray for their safe return to Los Angeles tomorrow.

Sowing Seed With Tears
I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart. —Romans 9:2

In our Bible-study class, we were reading Ephesians 4:17-24 out loud when Alyssa began to cry. Most of us were wondering why, when she quietly said, “I’m crying because hearing this passage read out loud makes me see the condition that lost people are in. They’re separated from God and are blind to it! That breaks my heart.”

One person in the class admitted later that he was embarrassed he had never felt that sad about nonbelievers and had in the past even talked excitedly about the judgment they would receive one day from God.

The apostle Paul laid out the condition of the lost with these words: “[They have] their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God . . . because of the blindness of their heart” (Eph. 4:18). He testified that he had “great sorrow and continual grief in [his] heart” because his fellow countrymen had not yet come to know the love of Christ (Rom. 9:1-3).

As we think about the condition of nonbelievers, we can remember God’s heart toward them: “The Lord is . . . longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). When we share the Word of God and pray earnestly for others, eyes will be opened to His love.

Oh, give me, Lord, Thy love for souls,
For lost and wandering sheep,
That I may see the multitudes
And weep as Thou didst weep. —Harrison

Open your heart to the Lord, and He will open your eyes to the lost.


Bible in One Year: Hosea 9-11; Revelation 3

It is 24 today and awful. It was so cold yesterday for our luncheon, oh how I didn’t want to go but I did! It was important and we did have a good time. I had invited a guest also and she really liked it. The food was delicious but ‘sky high’. It was a bit higher than I had thought. But its okay for a special occasion!

I had Trout Almondine....delicious. It was that or Chicken Marsala for me. Lots of breads and spreads...LOL! Red Velvet Cake for dessert and it was out of this world. Our hostess gave everyone a big red stocking with lots of little gifts inside. And of course, we all brought a gift and they were exchanged. And I came home, got my comfy clothes on and slept!!

Thanks Jaycee. I always think God is the pilot and all I do is follow His directions. That is what got me through. Never want to drive through weather like that again.

HAPPY CATURDAY TO AMY’S PLACE!

The Naming Of Cats

The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn't just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
First of all, there's the name that the family use daily,
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,
Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey--
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter--
But all of them sensible everyday names.
But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular,
A name that's peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum-
Names that never belong to more than one cat.
But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover--
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.


a poem by T S Eliot

Happy Caturday/Dogurday/Birduday... or what ever rocks your clock! Right now I have Molly the Cat trying to push my hands off the keyboard so she can sleep on it. She has many OTHER places on the desk to spread fur & fleas but no, the keyboard is her fav...

Today is a sad anniversary for me.. 4 years that Oliver went to the Rainbow Bridge.

so much going on here.. keeping busy, did a little Christmas decorating, struggling still with "home & mom issues". However do still a daily long pup walk, frequent movies & frequent live entertainment here & there.

Faglaro island sweden - Google map it.. new home of Elin woods.. 6 bedrooms. Privacy, Tiger's 155 ft yacht, is now being loaded in Fla.. Interesting story of success, sadness and I hope future redemption. I hope he can change, with God I KNOW he can.. I would like to see a whole family & him back on the golf course... Pollyanna I know but I like happy endings..
