Oh, thank you, Johnn!
I believe I'll have your fried bread
with sliced apples, sauteed in brown sugar and butter,
and just a touch of cinnamon!

“If something is missing in your life, remember that God is the only One who can fully and abundantly satisfy you. Let Him complete the picture of your life.”
___________________________________________________________

What is missing in the life of many in this world is ...

Time spent with God. Reading His Word regularly (daily) Praying to Him as we go through our day, meaningful time in prayer daily. When we do this, we are transformed from within. God says so.

Praise the LORD. Hallelujah!

Father God, help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.

The Soldier’s Code

1) I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

2) I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.

3) If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

4) If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.

5) When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to give only name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies, or harmful to their cause.

6) I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

So good to hear that you are safe, Jaycee.

Polly and Gail, still praying for all those affected by these horrible deadly storms.

Still praying for two precious babies, Gail and Meg.

“In his sermon titled “What Is the Recession For?” pastor John Piper suggests that when the economy plummets, God has His own purposes. Some of them might be:”

We are a stiff necked, rebellious people, and many Christians do not live any differently than non Christians.

How can America be so stubborn.

RE: ABORTION! HOMESEXUALITY! REDEFINING MARRIAGE! LIVING WANTONLY AND LICENTIOUSLY!

GOD FORGIVE US FOR OUR SINS, WE KNOW NOT WHAT WE DO. HELP US TO WALK IN THE LIGHT, BE LIGHT, BE PLEASING TO OUR LORD GOD, IN THE NAME OF JESUS,AMEN.

Cute, cute....love that one!

[jaycee]

Loved these flowers this morning and the sweet “Flower Salute”.

[jaycee]

Good Morning, Conor!

[yorkie]

LOL! Thanks, JC. I was posting it while Ms. Amy was posting hers, and she beat me by 19 seconds.

HAPPY MONDAY!!!

[jaycee]

Johnn, your menu is outstanding but I think I may be a little late. Yorkie, there you go making me die for the fried bread with all those delicious toppings.

[jaycee]

Thank you Amy. It seems some kind of weather or catastrophy is happening all over the country. I am so worried about the oil leaking into the ocean and how many lives can be ruined by that. It is so horrible that they can’t stop it.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Friends. Happy Monday.
It is so good to see you here this morning!
Suppose to be another lovely day in Central California.

Hope everyone is having a beautiful unblue Monday.

[JustAmy]

Local radio callers are suggesting sabotage by enviro-wackos. I know the extreme left wing enviromentalists will do anything for their cause.

I wonder why it cannot be stopped. Someone put that stuff down there, why can't someone go down and shut it off?

[JustAmy]

LOL

I would have beaten you by 25 seconds but I read part of the paper this morning. :^ )

Happy Monday!

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Jaycee.
Today's Opening is another rerun; I thought it perfect for the first Monday in May.

Have a beautiful day.

Amy, I just LOVE your "Koffee Klatch" graphic!
You look LOVERLY, this beautiful Monday morning!!

I'm ALWAYS ready for coffee with my friends at AMY'S PLACE!

“If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless. —James 1:26”
____________________________________________________________

“useless” strong verse. This is no light thing.

________________________________________________________

James 3:2-18 (American Standard Version)

2 For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.

3 Now if we put the horses’ bridles into their mouths that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also.

4 Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steersman willeth.

5 So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!

6 And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell.

7 For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind.

8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison.

9 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God:

10 out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

11 Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet water and bitter?

12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? Neither can salt water yield sweet.

13 Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom.

14 But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth.

15 This wisdom is not a wisdom that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

16 For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.

17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy.

18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for them that make peace.”

Happy Military Monday, Conor.
