Why do they give such ugly names to such beautiful flowers?! Must not have been a lover of beauty! :)

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. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Great Pyrenees + Dachshund = Pyradachs, a puzzling breed

Or, as John Milton called my 100-times-Great-grandfather centuries ago ...Pyradachs Lost.

WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. "





Our Founding Fathers brought this essential freedom into existence through great adversity. It is under attack now more than at any other time during our lives. We are called on to uphold and defend it, whatever the cost!

Nope, no dancin’ of any kind yet - maybe in a couple more months!!!

[jaycee]

Thanks for giving us the wise words from Thomas Jefferson! And its good for all of us to read
the Bill of Rights occasionally! It refreshes our minds on things
we might forget! Thank you, Conor!

In This Very Room
March 4, 2012

At our church we often sing the beautiful song by Ron and Carol Harris: “In This Very Room.” It begins, “In this very room there’s quite enough love for one like me.” This song reminds me that although there is great encouragement in gathering with other Christians for worship, the important thing is that Christ is present. But it goes beyond that. He is with us not just at church but in every room of our lives.

I wonder where you’re reading this—a kitchen, a coffee shop, a prison cell, a military post? Perhaps you’re in a hospital or a courtroom. It may be a room that reflects everything that’s right in your life or a place that represents all that’s wrong. And you might be afraid.

In the aftermath of the awful reality of Jesus’ crucifixion, His followers met in a familiar room. John records that “when the doors were shut [locked] where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, ‘Peace be with you’” (John 20:19). A week later it happened again when Jesus entered through locked doors to bring peace through His presence (vv.26-29).

Wherever you are today, “There’s quite enough hope and quite enough power to chase away any gloom, for Jesus, Lord Jesus, is in this very room.”

When in the midst of life with its problems,
Bent with our toil and burdens we bear;
Wonderful thought and deep consolation:
Jesus is always there. —Lillenas

Our loving God is always near—forever by our side.

Read: John 20:19-29

Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” —John 20:26

Bible in a Year:
Joshua 16-18

Good Sunday Morning

"When in the midst of life with its problems,
Bent with our toil and burdens we bear;
Wonderful thought and deep consolation:
Jesus is always there. —Lillenas"

Thank you for this wonderful devotion, Rus.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

Good Sunday Morning,

Thank you for this gorgeous picture of God's universe, Mary,.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

[jaycee]

Totally gorgeous, Meg. And the scripture says it all. Gwen is going to take me out today for some shopping and we will probably have lunch about 1:00. I am getting ready now and she will call me before she leaves. (I have had to bury my pride and use a wheelchair, which she will push.) I didn't want to have to do this but I can't go to the mall anymore or to a large store and walk it.

Barry thinks when I get this upper back fixed, it may help with the hip problem and I have no idea. I have decided if the hip doesn't improve, that I will eventually look into getting it fixed if the upper back problem doesn't help the hip.

By the way, the bone scan confirmed what the x-ray said. It is a compression fracture in between my shoulder blades. I will be seeing the surgeon this Thursday. It is not as invasive as one may think. I will tell all of you more about it at a later time. Do not know yet when the procedure will take place, probably a couple of weeks from now.

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY EVERYONE!

MAY THE BLESSINGS OF OUR LORD DESCEND UPON YOU AND REMAIN WITH YOU FOREVER

ST. PATRICK’S BREASTPLATE

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through the belief in the threeness,
Through confession of the oneness
Of the Creator of Creation.

I arise today
Through the strength of Christ's birth with His Baptism,
Through the strength of His Crucifixion with His Burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection with His Ascension,
Through the strength of His Descent for the Judgment of Doom.

I arise today
Through the strength of the love of Cherubim,
In obedience of angels,
In the service of archangels,
In hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In prayers of patriarchs,
In predictions of prophets,
In preaching of apostles,
In faith of confessors,
In innocence of holy virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.

I arise today
Through the strength of heaven:
Light of sun,
Radiance of moon,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of wind,
Depth of sea,
Stability of earth,
Firmness of rock.

I arise today
Through God's strength to pilot me:
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's host to save me
From snares of devils,
From temptations of vices,
From everyone who shall wish me ill,
Afar and anear,
Alone and in multitude.

I summon today all these powers between me and those evils,
Against every cruel merciless power that may oppose my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of pagandom
Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of witches and smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul.

Christ to shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that there may come to me abundance of reward.

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down, Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the threeness,
Through confession of the oneness,
Of the Creator of Creation.

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. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[ConorMacNessa]

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond - I went to bed early last night. You're welcome, of course! I'm certain that Jefferson and the rest of our Founding Fathers are spinning in their graves over the present state of our Beloved Nation!
