F. R. has had some troubles lately. Don’t know how much we miss it until the minute we can’t get on...LOL!

Think ya’ll will get any snow this time or just cold freezing rain? I’ve had enough! When snow comes, we all want vegetable soup, potato soup or a big pot of beans of some kind. Its just so good when the weather is bad. I had planned on making spaghetti in the morning so thats what I will have for the weekend.

Take care! Won’t be long until your busy season starts again! Are you glad or do you dread the hard work? See ya, GG!

This is just beautiful, Cardi! If that didn’t bring tears of happiness, I don’t know what will! Terrific job on that! Love the scenery and adore the song!

Dang. It won’t open for me. (Says I have a ‘dialog box open’, and I must close it first.)

Anybody know what a dialog box is?

Barnyard Logic

The rabid chicken crossed the road
to bite the farmer’s dog in his abode
He then took out after the farmer too
for taking his hens away for his stew

The farmer thought the fellow quite mad
and knew he had to do something sad
A shotgun blast and the job was done
and now we have fried chicken, what fun

Sometimes it simply just doesn’t pay
to lose your temper it seems some days
You might end up where you don’t aim
it’s often best if things stay the same

Oh Yorkie!!!! THat is just what I needed to see and read to end my day.....

I am indeed tired but full of praises to God!!
Here is a note I just penned to a note to a Bible study group today...here is the news.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am so weary but full of praise to God.
The Angiogram showed no damage to the arteries,no blockage, and his stents are secure and doing well.
The Cardiologist feels that the test yesterday ( not sure of the name) was a “ false positive” due to some terrible coughing and congestion Mel has had.

It was such a relief when the cardiologist came in and told me his findings I just sat and bawled.

...One report from some chest xrays did say “ possible pneumonia”...so we still have some confusion about that .

The bottom line, I just brought him home a half hour ago, weak and tired but thankful.

I have a physical tomorrow myself and would love prayer for wisdom from the doctor. I have had continuous UTI’s this year, and just this afternoon
found a lump under my arm pit that is very sore....sigh. So Thanks for your prayers for our family...

Under His Wings,

I have none of these, JOHNN. I don’t know what is the problem - I have closed everything down. (Ah, well - tiapam showed it to me on her computer.) Thanks for the heads-up.

Oh, Polly, I am right this moment, sending up my greatfulness for the results for Mel. WOW!!! Wonderful to hear, and I thank you for the update! Prayers that it is not pneumonia, but something easily cured with antibiotics!

Now, we will uphold you in prayer, tomorrow, asking for ‘clear’ tests, and no serious problems!

BIG hugs, Polly (and prayers tonight and tomorrow for you and Mel).

Hope we don’t get any of it. The cold is already here.

busy season starts again! Are you glad or do you dread the hard work?***

Six of one, half dozen of the other. LOL We’ve been slack for a couple of months, time to catch our breath. It’s winding up and soon we won’t have time to breathe. Already have some cole crops started. Usually have stuff ready to sell by now but it’s been so cold and wet, I didn’t see much point. Anything that gets put out now is either going to freeze or drown.

Roses will be in in about two weeks—250 that have to be potted and spaced out on the tarp. Cuttings for hanging baskets should be in soon, and we’ll start our first crop of maters and peppers from seed. I’ll love it for about 2 months. By the end of May, I’ll be frazzled and I’ll probably get snappy when some one asks me how many are in a 4 pack. LOL

Running The Race
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. —1 Corinthians 9:24

Spiridon Louis isn’t well known around the world, but he is in Greece. That’s because of what happened in 1896 when the Olympic Games were revived in Athens.

During the competition that year, the Greeks did quite well—winning the most medals of any nation. But the event that became a source of true Greek pride was the first-ever marathon. Seventeen athletes competed in this race of 40 kilometers (24.8 miles), but it was won by Louis—a common laborer. For his efforts, Louis was honored by king and country, and he became a national hero.

The apostle Paul used running a race as a picture of the Christian life. In 1 Corinthians 9:24, he challenged us not just to run but to run to win, saying, “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.” Not only did Paul teach this but he lived it out. In his final epistle, he said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (2 Tim. 4:7). Having finished his race, Paul joyfully anticipated receiving the victory crown from the King of heaven.

Like Paul, run your earthly race to win—and to please your King.

As we run in this race—
As our best effort we bring—
We are spurred on by the fact
That we must win for the King. —Branon

The Christian’s race is not a sprint—it’s a marathon.

Bible in One Year: Exodus 21-22; Matthew 19
