Being of an spiritual nature, I think makes people feel things more, in order to be able to create beauty to comfort others.

I totally agree with that statement. And yet I think I have a tough side too, as there's so much to take care of after you are left alone. But when you have to do something, you just do it! Although you can get mighty lonely sometime! Thank the Lord for my 2 sons and their families and besides my FReeper FRiends, I have some wonderful friends here also.

Are you getting another dog?

[jaycee]

Sorry....double post! As yorkie says, a hiccup!!

[potlatch]

Whoops, been a week already and I forgot! Great photo.

[yorkie]

I ‘celebrate’ YOU, too, JC! Thank you for that sweet post!

[yorkie]

"Well, we know that no one here chose him"!

YOU GOT THAT right!

I don't think ONE person on FR would ADMIT it!
I wonder how the DU'ers
are struttin' their stuff, right about now! LOL!!!!

[tiapam]

We all do that!!LOL!

[jaycee]

Write later!!

Right now I work seven days a week, so would not be able to devote enough time to a dog. It wouldn’t be fair.

I would have to say i have a “tough” side too. I am, after all, a drummer, a bass player, AND a BIKER! LOL

[yorkie]

Dateline is coming on right now

[yorkie]

I’ve been watching Dateline for almost a half hour - and so far, it is all about Urine VanDerSloot. I’ll see if the Sweat Lodge comes on in a few minutes. Thanks for the info!

Thank you so much for your comments, Jaycee and I understand they do keep us free, but 10,000 more? It breaks my heart too that we could lose 100 a month. Sometimes this is toooooooo much to absorb!
In the scheme of things, I would wish that OUR soldiers were here in OUR country,protecting OUR borders everywhere!

The Shooting Panda

June 12, 2010

In her amusing book Eats, Shoots & Leaves, Lynne Truss bemoans the problem of poor punctuation in today’s world. To illustrate, she tells the funny story of a panda who enters a café, orders a sandwich, eats it, and then pulls out a gun and starts shooting. When a waiter asks him to explain his behavior, the panda hands him a poorly punctuated wildlife guide and asks him to look up the description of a panda. It reads: “Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.”

Having a comma after the word eats is an error that changes the whole meaning of the last sentence. The words shoots and leaves become actions, instead of plants to eat.

This idea of being careful with language is important in Bible study as well. Paul described this process as “rightly dividing the Word of truth” (2 Tim. 2:15). The phrase translated “rightly dividing” was used of a skilled craftsman cutting something straight. In the context of Bible study, it means taking the time for diligent and careful study, while prayerfully asking for the Holy Spirit’s guidance. It means teaching the truth directly and correctly. Accurately discerning and passing on God’s truth must be the priority of every conscientious believer.

Correctly handling the Word of truth
Takes diligence and care;
So make the time to study it
And then that truth declare. —Hess

Apply yourself to the study of the Bible and apply the Bible to yourself.

Read: 2 Timothy 2:1-15

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, . . . rightly dividing the Word of truth. —2 Timothy 2:15

Bible in a year:
Ezra 3-5; John 20
