That’s the BEACH! hahaha!

Mr. Kabong and I went snorkling there in 1991. Because of the riptide, we emerged from the water over a mile from where our car was parked! EEEK! No WONDER there weren’t any locals swimming there! hahaha

Surf’s Up, Dudedess! Grab your board!

Made some short stops at Pearl Harbor in my Navy Daze. Also lived down on the Big Island - Kailua-Kona. We’re planning a trip next year to The Big Island.

I am watching “Aida” with Pavarotti and the San Francisco Opera.

It is breathtaking.

I did my first DIVE on Kauai.

Mr Kabong and I renewed our vows 30 ft under water.

I LOVE Kailua Kona.

Just spent a week there in July. I have a (conservative) friend there! :-)

Did I mention that this was the San Francisco Opera?

The Ballet Scene during the Triumphal March has left no doubt.

Eek.

A Teachable Spirit
August 31, 2011

Just before our church service began, I overheard a young man behind me talking with his mother. They were reading an announcement in the bulletin about a challenge to read one chapter of Proverbs each day for the months of July and August. He asked his mom, “What will we do with chapter 31 in August since there are only 30 days?” She said she thought there were 31 days in August. He responded, “No, there are only 30.”

When it was time in the service to greet each other, I turned back toward him and said hello. Then I added, “August does have 31 days.” He insisted, “No, it doesn’t. There can’t be 2 months in a row with 31 days.” The singing started, so I just smiled.

This brief encounter made me think about our need to develop a teachable spirit, seeking wisdom beyond our own. In Proverbs 3, the attitude the father recommends to the son is one of humility: “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord” (v.7). In chapter 2, he says, “Incline your ear to wisdom . . . ; search for her as for hidden treasures” (vv.2,4).

Knowing whether August has 30 or 31 days doesn’t matter much, but having a teachable spirit does. It will help us gain wisdom from God and others. Reading a chapter from Proverbs each day next month may give us a start.

Lord, teach us from Your holy Word
The truth that we must know,
And help us share the joyous news
Of blessings You bestow. —D. De Haan

True wisdom begins and ends with God.

Read: Proverbs 2:1-9

Do not be wise in your own eyes. —Proverbs 3:7
Bible in a year:
Psalms 132-134; 1 Corinthians 11:17-34

lonestar is very happy. Her SIL went to MD Anderson yesterday and learned that her lumps are not malignant...she has had breast cancer twice already and is only 43...it started when she was 30.

lonestar goes to the shoulder dr. to be released.

If we had rain we'd be really good.

I'm mad because I don't have my pics! Nobody thinks of me!!!!

Good morning ALL, missed a lot yesterday, it was not a good day for me. 2nd Lumbar block due at 6:15 AM tomorrow.

Prayers for our dearest Friend Dubya

Prayers up my FRiend, nothing is to big for HIM to remove. We pray oh, Lord, Father of us all that you will remove this cancer from our dear, dear, friend. Earthly doctors may give up, but we know YOU are the most powerful physician in the universe and nothing is beyond Your power. In the name of Your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.
