Thank you, Megs! I did have a good day, so it’s all good! :)
“Proverbs 27:17
King James Version (KJV)
17.Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And Genesis 11:3-9
"3 Then they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.
4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” 5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.
6 And the Lord said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.
7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.
9 Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth."

gorgeous!!!
Thank you.

How many sins did it take for Adam and Eve to receive the death sentence?
How many sins did Moses do in the wilderness to lose his right to enter the promised land? (H was told to speak to the rock ... and Moses struck the rock) like he did the first time.
One time. One time.
the scriptures tell us
disobedience is not to be taken lightly.

Joshua
Defeat at Ai
7 But the children of Israel committed a trespass regarding the accursed things, for Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi,[a] the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed things; so the anger of the Lord burned against the children of Israel.
2 Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, “Go up and spy out the country.” So the men went up and spied out Ai.
3 And they returned to Joshua and said to him, “Do not let all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and attack Ai. Do not weary all the people there, for the people of Ai are few.”
4 So about three thousand men went up there from the people, but they fled before the men of Ai.
5 And the men of Ai struck down about thirty-six men, for they chased them from before the gate as far as Shebarim, and struck them down on the descent; therefore the hearts of the people melted and became like water.
6 Then Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the Lord until evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads.
7 And Joshua said, “Alas, Lord God, why have You brought this people over the Jordan at all—to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Oh, that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan!
8 O Lord, what shall I say when Israel turns its back before its enemies? 9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear it, and surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. Then what will You do for Your great name?”
The Sin of Achan
10 So the Lord said to Joshua: “Get up! Why do you lie thus on your face?
11 Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. For they have even taken some of the accursed things, and have both stolen and deceived; and they have also put it among their own stuff.
12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they have become doomed to destruction. Neither will I be with you anymore, unless you destroy the accursed from among you.
13 Get up, sanctify the people, and say, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, because thus says the Lord God of Israel: “There is an accursed thing in your midst, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the accursed thing from among you.”
14 In the morning therefore you shall be brought according to your tribes. And it shall be that the tribe which the Lord takes shall come according to families; and the family which the Lord takes shall come by households; and the household which the Lord takes shall come man by man.
15 Then it shall be that he who is taken with the accursed thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and because he has done a disgraceful thing in Israel.’”
16 So Joshua rose early in the morning and brought Israel by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken.
17 He brought the clan of Judah, and he took the family of the Zarhites; and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man, and Zabdi was taken.
18 Then he brought his household man by man, and Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
19 Now Joshua said to Achan, “My son, I beg you, give glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession to Him, and tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.”
20 And Achan answered Joshua and said, “Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and this is what I have done:
21 When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonian garment, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. And there they are, hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver under it.”
22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and there it was, hidden in his tent, with the silver under it.
23 And they took them from the midst of the tent, brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the Lord.
24 Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the garment, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them to the Valley of Achor.
25 And Joshua said, “Why have you troubled us? The Lord will trouble you this day.” So all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones.
26 Then they raised over him a great heap of stones, still there to this day. So the Lord turned from the fierceness of His anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called the Valley of Achor[b] to this day.”

My doctor’s office just called and said my cholesterol was too low and to take 10 miligrams instead of 20 and that we may take me off of it. I told his assistant “no wonder I feel so bad.” Do you know I mentioned to him Friday that sometimes when you lose weight, your cholesterol would go down. (I’m teaching him, huh?) LOL!

Pray for our Troops
No place other than PF CHANG's for calamari!!
Tell Marissa I wish she could come with us!!
And thanks for the Bday call!
Well another Waste OF MY VALUABLE TIME.
EAR DOC
Making me do a ENG balance test Thursday morning, have to be off ALL MEDS Starting tomorrow until after the test.
Back doc is sending me to YUCKY pain management glorified PT, even though the L4 is about shot. Nothing about the neck, other than I have bone spurs and those suckers hurt, as does the T disc in the middle of my bra band.
Well they will find I will NOT take their STUPID DRUGS, my arthritis doc threw up his hands and said IF YOU CAN’T TAKE arthritis meds I can’t help you...well this is going to be the same exact thing, I can’t even take aspirin or Advil more than once a week, tears up my entire GI Track.
He is also sending my to a Peripheral Neuropathy specialist for my calves and feet. Another waste of money and time...they have NO way to replace the FAT that has vanished out of my feet. I’ve tried Lyrica and threw the 50% failure rate crap in the trash can after 2 pills that shot my pain level in hands and feet from a 3 to a 10 in less than an hour, second pill got my back. Gabapentin is another such drug, they are anti seizure drugs. My eldest tried both and threw them away for the same reason, they ATTACK hands, feet and back with unbelievable PAIN!
Silicone is in the trial phase, which leaves me out as Medicare/Tricare Life does NOT cover experimental stuff.
I AM FED UP, hurting and upsetting my husband who has high BP issues.
Why in the world can’t the STUPID MEDICAL PROFESSION understand some people can’t take their sucky side effect riddled drugs! I’ve done the PT, the pain meds which now no longer work, and 3 failed nerve blocks!
