((((HUGS))))

[MEG33]

Would I love that!

[oldteen]

Never mind...I found it!

Wow....3 banks? VERY interesting!

[yorkie]

Well, it seems the ATMs are not working in three banks - (all over the entire country).....Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Chase. Something doesn’t smell right here. (But not too many seem too concerned):

I don't bank at any of the 3 and didn't try ATM today but I sure will be going to try tomorrow and see what happens!

Thanks for the heads up!

[yorkie]

As I posted on the thread - I don't want to be an 'alarmist' but something is very not 'right', here.

I am glad I have a fireproof 'baby' safe, with a little cash. This could end up being a very serious situation.

[yorkie]

If I could - I would have it delivered by “One Hour Express”, Meg.

((((HUGS))))

[yorkie]

OK, girls - time for me to turn in.

See you tomorrow. Sweet dreams to you both (and any lurkers.)

Had a Veteran’s Open House this evening at church. Many of us brought pictures, cruise books, uniforms to display. All my stuff took up one table plus my Whites and Dress Blues hanging on a board behind the table.

Tomorrow (Sunday) we will have a Veteran’s Day services at 9 and 10:45. We will be having a choir made up of Veterans and we’ll be singing two songs, “Men of Freedom” and “Eternal Father, Strong to Save”. We’ll have about 80 to 100 Vets joining voices. A small gift will be presented to each Vet in the services. Gonna be a GREAT day honoring our nation’s Veterans. Gotta be there at 8:15 for final rehearsal. Last year I wore my Dress Blues and might be doing it again tomorrow. I wear it for two reasons... 1. I’m very proud to have worn the uniform of the US Navy, and 2. I can still fit into it, even though the uniform is 47 years old.

Hand Salute!............two

Thank you, tiapam. Such a sweet graphic. After I finished what I HAD to do last night, I fell asleep in the Lazyboy. I think I just passed out. Long hard day did me in.

[jaycee]

Thank you for your well wishes and prayers. Love the sweet swinging kitty.

[jaycee]

I know it will be a wonderful day for you and all the other Veterans. We owe all of them, including you, our very best!

[jaycee]

Meg, I sincerely hope you are much improved today! I will see you when I can.

God’s Presence At Church
November 7, 2010

I love reading church slogans. You know, the ones you see on the marquee in front of churches. Recently I noticed a slogan that said, “Come in and experience the presence of God.” That one caught my attention, primarily because it’s an important promise to make and sometimes a hard promise to keep. Hard, because if we’re not careful our churches might reflect the presence of its people more than the presence of our God.

So what would a church have to do to display the presence of God? Its people would have to live like Him! Dynamics like hospitality, the loving acceptance of all kinds of people, a quickness to serve, a tangible love for one another that makes people feel safe and included regardless of color or class, and a patient tolerance of one another’s weaknesses would all be a great way to start. Paul said we should walk in a manner “worthy of the Lord” (Col. 1:10). And he also said that being worthy means that we will be humble, gentle, bearing with one another in love, eagerly maintaining the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (Eph. 4:2-3).

Let’s live in such a way that others will experience the presence of the God who lives in us—wherever we are, but especially at church.

The world gets a glimpse of God
When those who claim to be
The followers of Jesus Christ
Are living righteously. —Sper

Those who walk with Christ
bring the presence of God to everyone around them.

Read: Colossians 1:9-14

Walk worthy of the Lord. —Colossians 1:10

Bible in a year:
Jeremiah 40-42; Hebrews 4

Good Sunday Morning

"The world gets a glimpse of God
When those who claim to be

Thank you, Rus for Our Daily Bread.

Wishing you a blessed and restful Lord's Day
