Early this morning, it rained, snowed, rained! That stopped and the wind started! It was 34 this morning and my thermometer now says 22......and with this wind chill, it feels like 10. I was sitting here at the computer and decided to look out the door window. My driveway is covered with snow....ooops, it slipped up again! I do not need to do any errands tomorrow, thank goodness!

I had heard we would have some snow either Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday! Or maybe all days.

Rifleman Mark Marshall, 6th Battalion The Rifles, KIA Afghanistan 14FEB2010



I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

The Soldier

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Rupert Brooke

Look at that young, happy face. It just literally breaks my heart, Conor.

May Rifleman Mark Marshall rest in peace. He has a place in our hearts forever.

May God be with his loved ones and hold them tight to ease their pain.

Yorkie, when I asked her to draw a picture of the yorkies, she didn't do very good.
She works best at drawing what she sees in her mind.

This not great but I thought it was cute.
Of course, the flash came thru fine. LOL

Detecting Toxins

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Galatians 1:3-10

There are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. —Galatians 1:7

San Francisco and New York City are using bluegill fish to check for the presence of toxins in their water supply, which could be a possible target for a terrorist attack. A small number of bluegills are kept in a tank at the bottom of some water treatment plants because the fish are sensitive to chemical imbalances in their environment. When a disturb-ance is present in the water, the bluegills react against it.

Like these bluegills, Paul wanted the Galatians to beware of and react against any toxic disturbance in the “true gospel” that was being preached. The toxin was defined as the false principle that God grants acceptance to people and considers them righteous on the basis of their obedience to a set of rules (especially circumcision and dietary laws). In short, obedience to the law was needed, apart from faith in Jesus. This false teaching was a toxic disturbance of the truth and the Galatians were told to react strongly against it. Paul said that anyone preaching a gospel that is not based on grace through faith in Christ alone should be accursed (Gal. 1:8-9).

Let’s faithfully study the Scriptures so we can detect the toxins of false teaching and proclaim the truth of God’s wonderful salvation through faith in Jesus.

Lord, teach us from Your holy Word
All error to discern,
And by Your Spirit’s light help us
From Satan’s snares to turn. —Bosch

If you know the truth, you can discern what’s false.

This is so adorable....wish it was longer....LOL! I’ll be back after breakfast, slept in a bit this AM!

[yorkie]

What a HAPPY picture! (Except for the mouse - he must have forgotten where he put the cheese.) But, all the critters are having fun, doing what they like to do! I love that they are all “DOING” something - not just sitting and looking purty. LOL!

Great picture, Marissa! Thank you for sharing with us!!!

[yorkie]

LOL! It looks like Sissy wasn’t too happy about having to ‘go to jail’! (Love that short clip - it shows such happiness!)

Such wonderful Valentine's Day posts Sunday!

Meg, I loved all your red roses throughout the day, and all the other gorgeous "valentines" all of you posted! Amy's Place is truly a beautiful "site", and each day is almost like walking through an art gallery. :)

[Billie]

Amy, that video is so cute! Marissa and Sissy playing Monopoly LOL! Looks like Marissa was having so much fun. :)

Also enjoyed seeing her drawings of the lion, mouse, snake, etc! She's such a cutie. :)

Hope you are feeling all better now!

[jaycee]

I loved your artwork, Marissa. I checked what each picture meant and it was just terrific! I loved the snake, wolf and lion the best....BUT they all were good.

[jaycee]

Billie, I loved your ‘cows coming home’ graphic and the music. If anyone could listen to that music and not stomp their foot or feet, I would offer a reward....LOL! Thanks for this.

[yorkie]

Billie, thank you for the cute toe tappin' opening, today!
