AMEN! Thanks Amy.

She doesn’t always get healthy meals but after the lousy meal that she had last night, she deserved something more like dinner.

I’m happy that she like vegetables. Of course, with the raw carrots, she has to have ranch dressing. She also likes ranch dressing on her broccoli. She will eat cauliflower and asparagus with only butter. :)

[JustAmy]

I think you are correct about the whole country celebrating last night.
I don't know if the Internet was realllly slooow or if it was just FR,
but everyone was up late enjoying the election results.

Hope your Wednesday was Warm And Fuzzy and not too white and frosty. :)

[JustAmy]

Good evening, DD.

I don’t think we got much of anything tonight. Get prepared for tomorrow. The weather station was forecasting heavy rain with thunderstorms and lightening. Sure hope we don’t lose power.

We are in the country so several of the country roads have areas of flooding. When we have hi winds, you see several almonds trees down. they must have a shallow root system.

Have a good evening. Stay safe and dry.

[JustAmy]

Oh Man ..... how good a cruise sounds.

Let me know when and I will be there!!!

[JustAmy]

We are not in a flood zone. I complain about flooded streets. Living in the country, there are always certain roads that flood if we get very much rain. But we are not in any danger.

[JustAmy]

Thanks, Taipam. Aren’t those puppies cute? Wednesdays and Saturdays are pet days at Amy’s Place. LOL

[JustAmy]

Goodnight, Friends.

Thank you for coming by today with your wonderful graphics, your comments, blessings and friendship.
You make Amy's the friendliest place on the net. Thank you.

Have a restful night. Pleasant Dreams.

Amy, thank you for sending that cute (framed) yorkie my way!

We are preparing for a huge storm tonight and tomorrow. The local news channel (from Phoenix) reported a frightening forcast for Sedona. They showed pictures of people sand-bagging around their homes, and others ready to evacuate. Flagstaff may get 4’ of snow from this storm.

My oil lamp is full, the flashlights are charged, and there is not much more I can do. I am not near the creek (which will probably flood at 18’), but I may get stuck here for a few days, as my driveway will no doubt flood over.

But, I’ve got plenty of food - (no SPAM, tho) LOL!

I was checking for something on this thread and just noticed my post to you (yesterday) didn't show up. : (

Hope you're doing fine.

Love the doggie/kitty photo. : )

I hope Marissa feels better. My Late Father always enjoyed a plate of Spam and Eggs, it brings back memories.

A Mutual Friend

READ: John 15:9-17

I have called you friends. —John 15:15

Imagine being a visitor in a foreign land, showing up unannounced at a gathering of people you have never met and who have never heard of you—and then being allowed to address that group just a few minutes later. That can happen only if something breaks down barriers— something like mutual friends.

It happened when I took a missions team to a church service in Discovery Bay, Jamaica. Before we left the US, my friend Dorant Brown, a Jamaican pastor, recommended a church to attend. So when we arrived at the church, and I mentioned Pastor Brown, we were not only welcomed, but I was also asked to speak briefly and our team was asked to sing.

While sharing Dorant’s name was vital, I really don’t think it was that mutual friend who got us such a warm welcome. I think it was our shared Friend and Savior Jesus who opened our Jamaican friends’ hearts to our visit.

Have you experienced a connection with someone you just met when you tell them you too know Jesus? He’s a friend who laid down His life for us (John 15:13), and He makes brothers and sisters of all who believe (1 Peter 2:17).

Jesus. Our Savior. Our mutual Friend. He joins hearts around the world under the banner of His love.

Join hands, then, brothers of the faith,
Whate’er your race may be;
Who serves my Father as a son
Is surely kin to me. —Oxenham

Those who are drawn to Christ are drawn to each other.

Bible in One Year: Exodus 1-3; Matthew 14:1-21

Beautiful, touching message today, Rus! Thank you so much! Have a wonderful day~~~

Jesus. Our Savior. Our mutual Friend. He joins hearts around the world under the banner of His love.

AMEN!

Some of you have been in my home
And looked out my diningroom window.
So, I want to introduce you to my most recent visitor:

Helloooooooooo?
Anybody home?

Do I smell COFFEE?

NEW SECRET DEAL to Cut SS, Medicare (Tricare) and all entitlements

obamacare paid for by cuts & taxes on most vulnerable Veterans, disabled,seniors & retired Military, so illegal aliens can have FREE health care.

[GodBlessUSA]

Aw that's terrific to see, Thanks Yorkie. I saw 2 the other morning. They usually run but they must know when it's safe.

[jaycee]

Absolutely adorable.....GREAT pictures, love that sweet deer!

[yorkie]

Thank you for sharing this thread, Gail. To take from our military’s health care is despicable. I am a recipient of Tri-Care, and this is frightening, to say the least.
