"In this turmoil we are as rain soaked kittens weak
shaking in the moments of sudden silence we seek
The storm rages on and we wait to see if we make it
fearful of the reality of how small we are a bit"

OMG, Tiapam!
I remember when I could do the Charleston!

But, it seems these days,
I need a little help with it!

[tiapam]

"I need a little help with it!"

You said it,
I didn't!
LOL!

[tiapam]

You are most welcome! Hope all’s going well with you!

What a cute....happy graphic, Teenie! Love it! :)

Wow....I remember my Dad teaching my brother and I the Charleston when I was about 6 y/o. Those are days of long ago! lol

Thanks for another memory, t-pammy!

[oldteen]

My dance partner would need help with THAT move! lol

[jaycee]

Love it! My Mama could really do the Charleston and she taught me. It was so much fun and I love that music! My body would protest my doing the Charleston today! LOL!

[jaycee]

Goodness, she looks stiff as a board. Is that Phyllis Diller?? I wasn’t watching DWTS then but I heard she had been on the show. Poor guy, he seems to have a strained look on his face like “I can’t hold her much longer!” I don’t know how any of them do it but they do!

Hard To Imagine
April 26, 2011

Whenever my wife, Martie, and I get ready to go on vacation, we like to read about our destination, study the maps, and anticipate the joy of finally arriving at the place we’ve dreamed about for so long.

For those of us who know Jesus Christ, we have an incredible destination ahead of us—heaven. But I find it interesting that a lot of us don’t seem to be very excited about getting there. Why is that? Maybe it’s because we don’t understand heaven. We talk about streets of gold and gates of pearl, but what is it really like? What is there to look forward to?

I think the most profound description of heaven is found in Paul’s words to the Philippians. He said that to “depart and be with Christ” is “far better” (Phil. 1:23). It’s what I told my 8-year-old grandson when he asked what heaven is like. I started by asking him, “What is the most exciting thing in your life?” He told me about his computer game and other fun things he likes to do, and then I told him that heaven is far better. He thought for a minute, and then said, “Papa, that’s hard to imagine.”

What is it that you look forward to in life? What really excites you? Whatever it is, although it’s hard to imagine, heaven will be far better!

To be in His presence! A glorious thought
So awesome I cannot conceive;
I’ll bow down and worship the Lord on His throne
And add to the praise He’ll receive. —Sper

The more you look forward to heaven,
the less you’ll desire on earth.

Read: Philippians 1:19-26

I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. —Philippians 1:23

Bible in a year:
2 Samuel 23-24; Luke 19:1-27

Good morning! May your day be wonderful and your blessings too numerous to count. :)

Hi, JC! I don’t know who it is, but I found it amusing!

I have been watching DWTS, and was surprised to see how well Kirstie Alley has been doing! (Plus, she seems to have lost a bit of weight.) I have been disappointed with every costume selection of hers, though.

[yorkie]

Have a super Tuesday, everyone!

[jaycee]

Very lovely, teenie.

[jaycee]

I’ve been rooting for Kirstie! She has done well all things considered!

[jaycee]

Happy Tuesday FRiends!

Good Morning!

Today I went to WALMART and bought three rugs to replace the ones that were removed by the hazmat team. ALL THREE were "made in the USA". I made sure of that. Linda is so happy her paws don't slip around anymore!
