What a fine looking dog!! ( No boots needed for her, that’s for sure!)

The tinier the teeth, the sharper they are! LOL!

Hi Amy!

I am back after a long day, teaching, gardening, and maintaining the Jerusalem Thread here on FR.

Glad you liked my puppy!

[Billie]

I think we sort of automatically think “he” when we see a ‘big’ dog. We actually always had female dogs, but right now we have 2 little big guys. :)

[Billie]

Oh, that poor thing (but it is funny!) though I can imagine how awkward it must feel the first time shoes are put on their feet! How did yours react the first time?

[Billie]

That is so true! Puppies’ teeth are like needles!

[JustAmy]

I’m sure Marissa still wants a puppy. She is busy with school right now. Still having trouble with math.

She is having company Friday night. Her best friend from her old school will be spending the night.

Autumn Leaves

by Eve Merriam

Down
down
down
Red
yellow
brown
Autumn leaves tumble down,
Autumn leaves crumble down, Flaking and shaking,
Tumbledown leaves.

Skittery
Flittery
Rustle by
Hustle by
Crackle and crunch
In a snappety bunch.

Run and catch
Run and catch
Butterfly leaves
Sailboat leaves
Windstorm leaves.
Can you catch them?

Swoop,
Scoop,
Pile them up
In a stompy pile and
Jump
Jump
JUMP!




HAPPY AUTUMN!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA

Cutting Remarks
September 23, 2010

The writer of Proverbs describes an unwise person as “one who speaks like the piercings of a sword” (12:18). Our tongues can be like a multi-bladed Swiss Army knife when it comes to the variety of ways that we cut and destroy each other.

Unhealthy attitudes of anger, irritation, frustration, and impatience—even disappointment, stress, guilt, and insecurity—all contribute to our damaging speech. And as we cut with our words, we wound and divide friendships and relationships. It’s no wonder that the infamous list of seven things that are an abomination to the Lord includes anyone who “sows discord among brethren” (Prov. 6:16-19).

How do we stay off that list? For starters, we need to watch what we say. Gossip and slander are out, and words that hurt instead of heal are not welcome. Boasting, lying, and all the rest of the ways we use words to hurt and divide need to be gone as well. In their place, words that extend love and the healing power of forgiveness, mercy, and truth should rule our words and relationships. After all, where would we be if Jesus hadn’t spoken words of forgiving love and grace to us?

So, put the “knife” away and use your words to help and heal.

Lord, put a seal upon my lips,
Help me to guard with care
The things I say and swift repeat;
O tongue of mine, beware! —Bosch

Our words have the power to build up or tear down.

Read: Proverbs 12:17-22

There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise promotes health. —Proverbs 12:18

Bible in a year:
Song of Solomon 1-3; Galatians 2

~Happy Autumn To Amy's Place~

As Autumn Nears

Summer sun, almost gone
Longer nights until dawn
Red-throated hummingbirds disappear
South they head with winter near

Look back, reflect upon those longer days
Clear fall moon shines bright, white cool rays
Birth and death, all part of one
Seasons join, together run

Stars seem brighter, pitch black sky
God speaks from tree tops oh so high
Harvest comes and it goes
Life’s questions linger, no one knows
