“Two pint dog in ten gallon hat”

I LOVE this pic, I now use it as a screen shot, so I can get a good chuckle everything I see it on the screen.

Thanks Polly....we always remember, don’t we? Did she get to be around horses or ride them any? It is so funny the way you described her wanting to be the horse!

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Sgt. Dillon B. Foxx, USA, KIA Afghanistan 5FEB2010

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

God Of Our Fathers



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

Sgt 1st Class Harouna Diop, 517e Régiment du Train,
May you rest in peace
And, may all who loved you in this life
Rejoice in your New Journey
And know that we will never forget you
And that you gave your all for our Country.

I don’t know who’s dog it is - perhaps it is a mixture of every dog that each of us has previously owned......and loved.

READ: Hebrews 11:1-10

In everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. —Philippians 4:6

In the normal course of providence, God works in and through creation, not despite it. For this reason, some answers to prayer are difficult to prove with certainty.

“Only faith vouches for the connection,” C. S. Lewis writes. “No empirical proof could establish it.” We believe a prayer has been answered not because of any scientific criteria proving it, but because we have faith.

Most of the ways we encounter God—nature, the Bible, the Lord’s Supper, the church, other people—include things we can touch. God’s own state, though, is the realm of spirit. Prayer reflects that difference between us.

Although we may ask God to intervene directly, it should not surprise us if He responds in a more hidden way in cooperation with our own choices. An alcoholic prays, “Lord, keep me from drink today.” The answer to that prayer will likely come from the inside—from a stiffening resolve or a cry for help to a loyal friend—rather than from some marvel like the magical disappearance of liquor bottles from a cabinet.

Whether God supernaturally intervenes or is giving us the power to obey Him, we trust His character. We see a true partnership, intimate and intertwined.

Help me to walk aright,
More by faith, less by sight;
Lead me with heavenly light—
Teach me Thy way. —Ramsey

An important part of praying is a willingness to be part of the answer.

Bible in One Year: Leviticus 6-7; Matthew 25:1-30

Good Morning Jaycee...she really didn't get to spend a lot of time with horses growing up. I do remember a wonderful mother/daughter get away when I took her to Big Bear Lake, Calif. and we went on a great mountain trails horse back two hour excursion alone together.She was in college at that time.

Thanks Polly....we always remember, don’t we? Did she get to be around horses or ride them any? It is so funny the way you described her wanting to be the horse!

[pollywog]

God Bless these precious men who have given their lives to keep us free.
