I'll bet you will be having some of your son's special - "Pulled Pork BBQ"! I am dying to taste it!

I'll bet that's ONE thing they don't serve at the White House - PORK!

If you ask me, I'd rather be looking at this!

"I was a clown during high school
At some big thing we were having at the stadium!"

And, I'll bet you were the CUTEST clown
Your school had ever seen!

WOW! What a dressed up clown!
I don't believe I could have done the
flips with those heels on....LOL!
But isn't she cute??

[jaycee]

That would’ve been nice! We had our cookout Saturday night so today was nothing special except ‘make believe’....LOL!

I had chicken salad, grapes and crackers. Then for dessert, I had vanilla ice cream with peaches. That fruit keeps the ice cream from being fattening!!!

Follow The Instructions

September 7, 2010

One of my boyhood hobbies was building model planes. Every time I opened a new box, the first thing I saw was the instructions, but I didn’t think I needed to follow them. In my mind I knew exactly how to put the model together. Not until I had glued a few pieces together did I realize I had skipped an important step, like putting the pilot in the cockpit.

It’s easy to think that we have no need for instructions for our lives, only to later realize that we’ve messed things up. Which is exactly why Jesus advised that following His instructions is the way for wise people to build a safe, solid, and significant life (Matt. 7:24-29). He had just told the listening crowd to turn the other cheek, to go the extra mile, to forgive enemies, and to sell treasures so that they could give to the poor (5:39-44). But just getting the instructions isn’t enough. The key is to follow them. “Whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock” (7:24).

Those who don’t follow the instructions are, as Jesus put it, “foolish” (v.26). To the world, forgiving your enemies and giving to the poor may seem like a silly way to build a life, but, take it from Jesus, it’s the wise way.

Lord, help me heed Your every word,
Commands that I have read or heard;
As You reveal Your will each day,
Help me to follow and obey. —Fitzhugh

To build a rock-solid life, follow Jesus’ instructions.

Read: Matthew 7:24-29

Whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock. —Matthew 7:24
