Ignorance abounds, jaycee...they think if you live in the hills you’re a hillbillie and got no sense. We fool them all the time! lol

Beautiful, what do you think of this one...simple compared to your beautiful work.

CONSIDER A PIGGY BANK TO OPERATE FREE REPUBLIC

You won't even miss the 25 or 50 cents A DAY, but at the end of the month you will have at least $5 to donate so FR can operate smoothly, or you will moan and grown and go into withdrawal when it is down, because of broken parts, or overloaded servers

OR DO YOU WANT A REPEAT OF THIS

[oldteen]

Heavenly smiley!

Either that or, an 'out of this world' cookie! :)

I will continue to keep you in my prayers.

One afternoon, while touring the Canyonlands of southern Utah, my husband and I pulled into the only hotel in a small town. While signing the register, we asked the young woman behind the desk if our room was air-conditioned.

When she shook her head no, we hesitated, wondering if we should push on to the next town. Sensing our doubt, she brightened as she came up with a solution. “Just turn on the heater,” she suggested. “Our customers tell us all that comes out is cold air anyway.”

Like A Flock
August 9, 2011

During a demonstration of sheep- herding using a Border Collie, the dog trainer explained that because sheep are highly vulnerable to wild animals, their main defense against predators is to stay together in a tightly knit group. “A sheep alone is a dead sheep,” the trainer said. “The dog always keeps the sheep together as it moves them.”

The biblical image of God as our shepherd is a powerful reminder of how much we need each other in the community of faith. When writing about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, the psalmist said, “[God] made His own people go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock; and He led them on safely, so that they did not fear” (Ps. 78:52-53).

As part of God’s flock, we who have trusted Christ are under His guiding, protecting hand while being surrounded by the shielding presence of others. We are part of a larger body of believers in which there is safety and accountability.

While we don’t give up our personal responsibility for thought and action as members of the flock, we are to embrace the concept of “we” rather than “me” in our daily lives. With Christ as our Shepherd and fellow believers around us, we find safety in the flock.

Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love!
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above. —Fawcett

As part of God’s flock, we’re protected by Him and by each other.

Read: Psalm 77:11-20

You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. —Psalm 77:20

Bible in a year:
Psalms 77-78; Romans 10

King James Bible

Matthew 18:12

“How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our Lord does not lose one. He will keep all who come to him in truth.

God bless all who hunger and search for Him. in Jesus name, amen

The Houses
1898 -- A Song of the Dominions

'Twixt my house and thy house the pathway is broad,
In thy house or my house is half the world's hoard;
By my house and thy house hangs all the world's fate,
On thy house and my house lies half the world's hate.

For my house and thy house no help shall we find
Save thy house and my house -- kin cleaving to kind;
If my house be taken, thine tumbleth anon.
If thy house be forfeit, mine followeth soon.

'Twixt my house and thy house what talk can there be
Of headship or lordship, or service or fee?
Since my house to thy house no greater can send
Than thy house to my house -- friend comforting friend;
And thy house to my house no meaner can bring
Than my house to thy house -- King counselling King.

Rudyard Kipling

Thank you, Yorkie.

We had a nice time ... it wasn’t necessarily relaxing but it was fun.

I felt guilty for being away all week but I knew you guys would be here. Thank you for all you do.

Have a delightful day.

[JustAmy]

Happy Ninth FR Anniversary, Dubya.

Good morning, Pammie.
