Hi, Teenie! Was feeling puny in the a.m. - improved somewhat during the day. Had another rip-roaring PT session this evening - feel much better, although my quads are like jelly right now.
How did your Hump Day go?
Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

Not bad...saw the dentist. He's one of those that has all the time in the world for you. :) AND, he's a nice guy, rides a Harley, and has a wonderful sense of humor! The biggest AND is, he didn't charge me! (He guarantees his work!)
Then grocery shopping...ugh! That is not my favorite thing to do these days! But, now I'm done for a while at least! :)

Gods Plan, Not Ours
February 2, 2012
Everybody was wrong about the ark of the covenant (an item in the tabernacle that represented the throne of God). After losing a battle to the Philistines, Israel sent messengers to Shiloh to ask that the ark be hauled to Ebenezer, the site of their army camp.
When the ark arrived, the Israelites celebrated so loudly the enemy heard them all the way over in Aphek. The arks arrival caused the Philistines to fear and the Israelites to have courage.
They were both wrong. The Israelites took the ark into battle and were again clobbered by the Philistines, who captured the ark. Another mistake. The Philistines got sick and their false gods were destroyed.
We can understand the Philistines errorthey were idol-worshipers. But the Israelites should have known better. They failed to consult God about using the ark. While they knew that the ark was earlier carried in battle (Josh. 6), they didnt consider that Gods plan, not the arks involvement, allowed Israel to defeat Jericho.
No matter our resources, we will fail unless we use them according to Gods plan. Lets study the Word, pray for Gods direction, and trust His leading (Ps. 91:2) before we step out in any venture of faith.
My times are in my Fathers hand;
How could I wish or ask for more?
For He who has my pathway planned
Will guide me till my journeys oer. Fraser
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.
Psalm 91:2

~Good Morning To Amy's Place~
SEA SHELL
Sea Shell, Sea Shell,
Sing me a song, O Please!
A song of ships, and sailor men,
And parrots, and tropical trees,
Of islands lost in the Spanish Main
Which no man ever may find again,
Of fishes and corals under the waves,
And seahorses stabled in great green caves.
Sea Shell, Sea Shell,
Sing of the things you know so well.

HAPPY THURSDAY TO AMYS PLACE!
The Lake Isle of Innisfree, Co. Sligo, Ireland
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made: Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee; And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet's wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey, I hear it in the deep heart's core.
William Butler Yeats
