Hi Luv

I think I may have trouble getting Marissa to concentrate on her homework. It may be a challenge for a couple of weeks. ;- }

[JustAmy]

Hi Kitty.

Marissa has water in his dish and newspapers spread out on the floor. She also has a box of Puppy Milk Bones open and ready.

Do you think she is anxious?

[JustAmy]

JustJr. has not heard about Buddy, unless he comes to Amy’s Place. LOL

Marissa wants to surprise him.

[JustAmy]

He’s pretty big but you’ll love him, Weinie.

I’ll try to get a couple of pictures later this afternoon.

What a BEAUTIFUL graphic, Jaycee! BOTH of the little girl and dog!! They are definitely ready for Spring!! Thank you!!

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Jaycee.

Buddy is young enough that he will adapt to our household easily.

The rescue lady told me that he may become the alpha dog over Max. I told her that it shouldn’t be a problem since Max does not have the alpha dog personality.

We are looking forward to getting him this morning. :)

[JustAmy]

LOL

You may get tired of watching him grow!

I hope to have photos later this afternoon, Gail.

[JustAmy]

LOL

That is the way the back of my van looked yesterday. Marissa wanted to buy everything. I convinced her that we should wait until today to buy his collar and leash.

We didn’t get to sleep in this morning .... Marissa was up early calling us sleepyheads and asking what time we could go get Buddy. :)

[JustAmy]

Oh ... what a sweet picture. That little girl is adorable and the puppy is as cutes as she can be.

Thanks, Jaycee.

Living in West Texas on the edge of the Chihuahua Desert (even thought they do not say that, it is true). There may be one true owl nesting here in the winter. There is a walking park with xerioscaping, there are ground owls there. Small and hard to catch a glimpse of them. God's Hand is everywhere in myriad forms for those with eyes to see. Beauty comes in many sizes, shades, colors and types.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Pinging to post #2441...it was to all of you as well!

[geologist]

God bless you and keep you, ... and give you peace, in this time of hectic events. Aaamen

[JustAmy]

I totally agree. Ours have always been very friendly but they have a loud bark and can act vicious.

Since we don’t have neighbors and Marissa does not carry a key to the house, we told her if the school every made a mistake and sent her home on the bus to go in the back yard with the dogs and stay there until we got home. There wouldn’t be many that would come over the fence with a protective GS there. :)

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Dubya.

I hope to get pictures later today. We will go get him before noon. Pictures by 5:00. LOL

Six Words From Solomon
January 29, 2011

SMITH magazine, an online community that “celebrates the joy of storytelling,” invited readers to submit six-word memoirs that describe their lives. Thousands responded with brief biographies ranging from the light-hearted “Sweet wife, good sons—I’m rich” to the painful “Sixty. Still haven’t forgiven my parents.”

Based on Scripture, I tried to imagine how King Solomon might have summed up his life in six words. As a young man, he could have written: God has given me great wisdom. But in his later years, he might have said: Should have practiced what I preached.

During a reign distinguished by peace and prosperity, Solomon developed spiritual heart problems. When he was old, “his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David” (1 Kings 11:4). The result was God’s displeasure and a sad end to a previously exemplary life (v.9).

The multiple times Solomon used the word vanity (or meaningless) in Ecclesiastes may indicate his disillusionment about life. This once-wise king who had it all, lost it all, and pondered it all, ended the book with this final conclusion: “Fear God and keep His commandments” (12:13).

Those are six words worth heeding.

The pleasures of this sinful world
Are meaningless and vain;
But if we love and follow God
True purpose we will gain. —Sper

Obedience to God is the key to a life of blessing.

Read: 1 Kings 10:23; 11:1-10

Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all. —Ecclesiastes 12:13

Bible in a year:
Exodus 21-22; Matthew 19
