You know - that has always been a little concern of mine. You are so sweet, and such a good sport.

I will tell you a little silly thing that happened this morning, as I was looking for a graphic that hopefully no one else would look for - so I did a search for “Bluebonnets and Moon”. (I thought that perhaps there would be a picture with the moon’s silver glow on the bluebonnets....)

Anyway - guess what showed up? A baby on a rain-bucket, nekkid, amid bluebonnets. Guess he was ‘mooning’ us? LOLOL!!

That is so pretty, Amy! I have read that bluebonnets and the indian paintbrush grow well together. Your graphic proves it! Good to see you!

Thanks.

Time for me to get Marissa to Sunday School. I’m not sure whether or not I will make it back today.

Wishing everyone a Blessed Lord’s Day.

“Whosoever trusts in God, is happy.” Proverbs 16:20

There once was a man who had worked all of his life and had saved all his
money and was a real miser. He loved money more than just about anything.
One day, he said to his wife, “When I die, I want you to take all my money
and put it in the casket with me, because I want to take my money into the
afterlife.”

He forced her to promise with all her heart that she’d obey his wish and
put all their money in the casket with him.

Well, soon after he died.

His wife sat in the church during the funeral next to her best friend.
When the ceremony was finished, just before the undertakers got ready to
close the casket, the widow said, “Wait just a minute!” and she placed a
small box she had with her in her husband’s lifeless hands.

The undertakers then locked the casket and rolled it away.

The woman’s friend said, “I know you weren’t fool enough to put all your
money in there with your husband!”

The widow replied, “Listen, I’m a Christian. I can’t go back on my word. I
promised him that I was going to put our money in that casket with him and
that’s what I did.”

“You mean to tell me you put all of your money in that casket?!!”

“I sure did,” said the widow.

“How’d you fit it all in that little box?” asked her friend.

“I wrote him a check.”

"Watch Your Hat and Overcoat"

The crowded cafeteria sported a large sign reading: "Watch Your Hat and Overcoat."

Meyer did. He kept turning every minute, almost choking over his food. His pal, Moshe, kept on eating, without thought of his own coat on the hook.

Finally Moshe said, "You dope... stop watching our overcoats."

"I'm only watching mine," replied Meyer. "Yours has been gone for over half an hour."

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!





Amazing Grace

by John Newton


Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

For those of us getting along in years, here is a little secret for building our arm and shoulder muscles.
You might want to adopt this regimen!
Three days a week works well.

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-lb. potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides, and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, then relax.

Each day, you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.

After a few weeks, move up to 10-lb. potato sacks and then 50-lb. Potato sacks, and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb. potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute.

After you feel confident at that level, start putting a couple of potatoes in each of the sacks, but be careful not to overdo it.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!



The Lord’s Prayer – Andrea Bocelli

DEAR GOD, who suffered torment, agony,
and death upon the Cross to free our souls
from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend
our troops. Guide them in the performance of
their duties. Strengthen them to endure hard-
ship,danger and deprivation in Your service. Let
their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghan-
istan from the chains of terror and slavery,
foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all
to a greater share in Your Mercy.
Amen.

THE NAVY HYMN

Eternal Father, Strong to Save



The Marine Corps Verse:

Eternal Father, grant we pray
To all Marines both night and day,
The Courage, Honor, Strength and Skill
Their Land to serve, Thy Law Fulfill.
Be Thou the Shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps!


This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalms 118:24(KJV)



Have a Blessed Lord’s Day!

Two men crashed in their private plane on a South Pacific Island. Both
survived.

One of the men brushed himself off and then proceeded to run all over the
island to see if they had any chance of survival. When he returned, he
rushed up to the other man and screamed, “This island is uninhabited,
there is no food, there is no water. We are going to die!”

The other man leaned back against the fuselage of the wrecked plane,
folded his arms and responded, “No we’re not. I make over $100,000 a
week.”

The first man grabbed his friend and shook him. “Listen, we are on an
uninhabited island. There is no food, no water.

We are going to die!” The other man, unruffled, again responded.

“No, I make over $100,000 a week.”

Mystified, the first man, taken aback with such an answer again repeated,
“For the last time, I’m telling you we are doomed. There is no one else
on this island. There is no food. There is no water. We are, I repeat, we
are going to die.”

Still unfazed, the first man looked the other in the eyes and said, “Don’t
make me say this again. I make over $100,000 per week. I tithe 10%.
Believe me, my pastor will find us.
