I am totally envious of Conor’s roses! The antique ones are
just beautiful.

Thanks for the “luck” wishes. We need all the help we can
get trying to raise flowers out here in the desert!....and
lots and lots of $$$$ for watering! Ugh!

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.

Bring Them To Jesus

Listen Now |  Play MP3 (Mobile)
READ: Luke 18:15-17

Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. —Mark 10:14

The Scripture reading from Luke 18 about children seemed unusual at the memorial service for David Holquist. After all, he was 77 when he died.

Yet the pastor said the verses fit David, a long-time college professor, perfectly. Part of his legacy was that he took time for children—his own and others’. He made balloon animals and puppets, and helped in a puppet ministry at church. When planning worship services with others, he frequently asked, “What about the children?” He was concerned about what would help the children—not just the adults—to worship God.

Luke 18 shows us the concern Jesus had for children. When people brought little ones to Him, the disciples wanted to protect Jesus, a busy man, from the bothersome children. But it seems that Jesus was not at all bothered by them. Just the opposite. The Bible says that Jesus was “greatly displeased” at the disciples, and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them” (v.16). Mark adds that Jesus took them in His arms and blessed them (10:14-16).

Let’s examine our own attitude about children and then follow the example of David Holquist. Find some ways to help them come to Jesus.

To those who are teaching the gospel,
With love in their hearts for its truth,
Comes the gentle reminder from heaven,
“Forget not the children and youth.” —Anon.

God has great concern for little children.

Bible in One Year: 1 Chronicles 22-24; John 8:28-59

I am getting off the computer..I have no discipline... and it has helped my back to stay away from posting..

Meg that is a lovely flower arrangement to start my week.
I went last night to a party and was so late getting back home!

Going to “ stroll down Amy’s Lane” now for a while and enjoy yesterday’s notes and graphic’s!

[pollywog]

Yorkie , this is one lovely photo!!! It reminds me of a dream my beloved husband has had for years. One morning while we were sitting having coffee he said " you know what I would do if I had loads of money?" " what?"....he said " I would rent a plane and toss wild flower seeds from one end to the other of our foothills."

We live in Eagle Rock ( North East Los Angeles) with some lovely foothills behind us!

I am always jealous of Meg being able to take a nap. I just lay there and think of all the things that need done and never can relax!! Bummer eh!

Conor, I didn’t realize that yesterday was Pentecost Sunday!
Thanks for reminding us all of the blessed power of the Third Person of The Trinity.

My prayer is that The Holy Spirit will fill me to overflowing with His likeness....

Someday the mystery of The Triune God will all be so clear, and we will worship Our Father God for ever and ever!!!!
