A lot of good country music still sounds good. Its sure better than what they offered to us tonight. Sometimes I find good music in the car! I always have my C.D.’s.

Sweet dreams be yours, Megs! (((hugs)))

Thanks for all you do!

[oldteen]

I haven't noticed but, we haven't even had Valentines Day and they already have Easter candy out?

Seems sooner each year!

[MEG33]

(((HUGS))) My pleasure, LUV

[Diver Dave]

Arriving late again. Great lookin’ pansies you’ve displayed.

[jaycee]

You are right...very early! I was looking at the Valentine’s marshmallow hearts when I glanced over on the other side and there were the Easter marshmallow eggs.

Its like in October when they put out the Christmas stuff...always makes me mad getting it out so early. I think we should give some time to Thanksgiving instead of crowding it out for Christmas. (I’m speaking of toys, and such stuff.)

[MEG33]

Thank you, Dave! Hope you are having a blessed Lord’s Day

[oldteen]

Evenin' DD!

Did you enjoy that sun today?

We hit 67* (or so they say!) It was absolutely gorgeous!

[oldteen]

That all proves how bad their cash flow is!

On the shelf too long and it's not worth buying anyway (if it's perishable) and so picked over (non-perishable)!

[Diver Dave]

Beautiful sunshiny day today.

I just went out in the back yard and noticed the moon and Jupiter are nearly side by side on the western horizon. Kinda kewl

[oldteen]

I took the dog out in the back a bit ago but it faces the east so I didn’t notice. Guess I should be more ‘all around’ observant! :)

[Kitty Mittens]

The Armies Of God
February 7, 2011

When our granddaughter Julia was very small, we took her on a driving trip over an Idaho mountain road. Afterward, she and her Nana were having a conversation about the “adventure.” “I don’t worry because I think Papa has a guardian angel,” Nana said. “I think he must have a team of guardian angels!” Julia replied.

The mission of angels is to protect and serve the children of God (Heb. 1:13-14). The psalmist said, “The chariots of God are . . . thousands of thousands; the Lord is among them” (Ps. 68:17). God is the “Lord of hosts,” which means “armies.” The angels are the Lord’s army.

In 2 Kings we read about Elisha and his servant who were surrounded by the Syrian army. Elisha’s servant cried out, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” Elisha replied, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes and he saw that “the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around” (6:15-17). The Lord’s army was at hand!

Even though we cannot see them with our natural eyes, we can rest in the confidence that the Lord of Hosts is constantly watching over us and He has an invisible army at His bidding to send where He pleases.

What ready help the Father gives
To struggling saints below!
He sends His heavenly ministers
To thwart our ancient foe. —D. De Haan

The angels of God protect the people of God
as they do the work of God.

Read: 2 Kings 6:8-17

He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. —Psalm 91:11

Bible in a year:
Leviticus 1-3; Matthew 24:1-28

[MEG33]

WOW! Gorgeous scene, Johnn.
I’d love Pecan Waffles and a pot of coffee.

[MEG33]

Comforting words, Rus..Thank you for starting our day off right.

[WayzataJOHNN]

OK, Pecan Waffles and pot of light roast African Peabody coffee are at your table by the fireplace. (If you mention it to your server, there is a box of chocolates for you after breakfast to keep by your chair to enjoy all day of you wish.)

[WayzataJOHNN]

A wonderful message this morning, Mayor, thanks for the daily lift of spirit and heart.
