Ha Ha ha!
Smart cars do not belong on the highway. Their silliness is a distraction and can cause ACCIDENTS!

No Dave but I'm not giving up yet as I've been following her around (in the news etc) and she is so busy with speaking and traveling I just don't see how she would have time right now. Even If I don't here back from her, that is okay too, as I gave a gift from my heart and I do know she got it. That is what is important to me. Yesterday I shipped of a Palaoa (same thing I gave Michele) to Sarah Palin and a Hawaiian style fish hook I made for Tod, her husband. Hoping to somehow be friends with them as Tod and my self are of Native blood. Aloha

After she woke up, a woman told her husband, "I just dreamed that you gave me a pearl necklace for Valentine's day. What do you think it means?"

"You'll know tonight." he said.

That evening, the man came home with a small package and gave it to his wife. Delighted, she opened it - to find a book entitled "The Meaning of Dreams."

Buried Treasure
February 16, 2011

Growing up in rural Missouri where American outlaw Jesse James (1847–1882) had lived, my friends and I were convinced he had buried treasure nearby. We wandered the woods in dreamy hopes of digging up a saddlebag or other treasure. Often we’d run into an elderly man chopping firewood with a giant axe. For years, we watched this mysterious “axe man” trudge the highways in search of soda cans, his own kind of treasure. Redeeming the cans for cash, he’d retire to his run-down, roofless, unpainted shack with a bottle in a brown paper bag. After his death, his family found bundles of money stored in his ramshackle home.

Like the axe man who ignored his treasure, we Christians sometimes ignore parts of Scripture. We forget that all of Scripture is ours to use; that each passage has a reason for its inclusion in the canon. Who knew Leviticus held so much buried treasure? In an efficient seven verses in chapter 19, God teaches us how to provide for the poor and disabled without stripping them of their dignity (vv.9-10,14), how to run our businesses ethically (vv.11,13,15), and how to embed respect for Him into our daily life (v.12).

If a few verses can contain so much treasure, think of all that can be ours if we dig into our Bibles every day.

For Further Study
Mine the treasure in Leviticus 19, and then search
for more treasure in other parts of Leviticus to put into
practice in your Christian walk.

Every word in the Bible was placed with a purpose; any part you’ve not read is your buried treasure.

Read: Leviticus 19:9-15

Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law. —Psalm 119:18

Bible in a year:
Leviticus 19-20; Matthew 27:51-66

Amy, I love your video clip this morning - and thought everyone might enjoy this one, too - about a dog named Grizzly who loved to swim with the wild dolphins.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEUaRWBBMLM

When the video starts, right under the picture are the words in blue “’dolphin dog’......watch and learn.....”

Click there, before watching the video, read the introduction, and you will feel like you know Grizzly, as you watch this incredible film. (It is a bit long, but worth every second to the end.)

Everyone have a nice day - I’m headed off to Phoenix to renew my Military ID, so will be gone all day. WFW, everyone!
