Hi Amy, Thank you for the thread, without it, I couldn’t post the Daily Bread everyday..

God Bless my FRiend!

Conor, I hope you will do some cyber-searching on the Jack Russel Terrier.

They are VERY active - (and smart) - but they need a LOT of attention. Good luck on your decision. (And, if you get the Jack Russell, I hope your son is mature enough to take care of it, and spend a lot of time with it.)

Thanks for the info, Yorkie!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

WHAT? CATURDAY ALREADY?

OK! Time to get outta bed!

It's been pouring down rain, all night.
I have the scanner on, and there are mud-slides north of me.
Thunder hit so hard last night, it turned on the touch sensitive lights!
We have waited so long for a good rain, and now it is finally here!

Let me be the first to wish you a wonderful Saturday!

JC, that is Purrrrrrrrr-FECT! What a sweet graphic! (AND, frame! It matches the eyes!)

How is the weather in your part of the country?

[jaycee]

Morning yorkie! I sorta look like your kitty when I get up every morning. I’ve had breakfast and getting ready to clean up. Clothes in washer and dryer!

[jaycee]

Thank you, yorkie! I would have posted an hour ago but it took a long time to find a color font to match the eyes and frame...know what I mean? Then, my son came and I chatted with him a while. He’s mowing now. Its not too hot right now but will be back in the 90’s this afternoon.

Glad you’re getting some nice rain even though we don’t like the thunder and lightning! Thats what happened here Thursday! Wishing you a wonderful Saturday!

What’s It All About?

Recently I was in a crowded shop- ping area when I saw a woman plowing her way through the crowd. What intrigued me was the message on her T-shirt, which read in bold capital letters, IT’S ALL ABOUT ME. Her actions reinforced the words on her shirt.

I’m afraid she’s not alone. That message is declared by so many men and women today that it could be the motto of our modern world. For followers of Christ, however, that statement simply is not true. It is not all about us—it’s all about Jesus Christ and others.

The apostle Paul certainly felt the weight of this reality. He was so concerned that his fellow Israelites would know Christ that he said, “I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh” (Rom. 9:3). That is a remarkable statement! Far from thinking it was all about himself, Paul affirmed that he would willingly exchange his eternity for theirs.

Paul’s teaching is a refreshing reminder of self-sacrifice in a challenging world that is destructively self-centered. The question we must ask is: Is it all about me? Or is our life about Jesus Christ and the people He came to reach?

Think about it. What’s it all about?

Others, Lord, yes others,
May this my motto be.
Help me to live for others
That I may live for Thee. —Meigs

Our lives should be marked by love for Christ and others—not obsession with self.

Read: Romans 9:1-5

I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh. —Romans 9:3

Bible in a year:
Psalms 72-73; Romans 9:1-15
