You're welcome, Teenie! I'll be putting in a half-day tomorrow - knocking off about 1:00 p.m. Hope you have a great weekend as well!



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem 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. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Well it’s late Friday with temperatures still in the 90’s.

I’ve been wearing my “Land of the Free, Because of the Brave” T-shirt today. I have the deepest respect for our Armed Forces, whether they be in combat zones or non-combat

Salute to Our Armed Forces........two!

May y’all have a great weekend. Had an AC guy out today to check out our AC system. The AC system quit working last nite when the temp was still 100 degrees.

Seems our system shut down last night because of high temps. It’s working fine today after the tech did a service call this morning.

We are looking forward to 106 degrees tomorrow. Guess I’m gonna have to jump in the pool tomorrow to cool off.

Hope y’all have a GREAT weekend!

Praise The Lord for watching over each and every one.

Eyes To See
August 11, 2012

My first glimpse of the Promised Land from the hills of Moab was disappointing. “Did this look a lot different when the Israelites got here?” I asked our guide as we looked toward Jericho. I was expecting a dramatic contrast from the east side of the Jordan. “No,” she answered. “It has looked the same for thousands of years.”

I rephrased the question. “What did the Israelites see when they got here?” “The biggest oasis on the face of the whole earth,” she replied.

Then I understood. I had ridden across the barren desert in the luxury of an air-conditioned bus stocked with cold bottled water. To me, an oasis was nothing spectacular. The Israelites had spent years wandering in a hot, dry desert. To them, the sprawling patch of pale green in the hazy distance meant refreshing, life-sustaining water. They were parched; I was refreshed. They were exhausted; I was rested. They had spent 40 years getting there; I had spent 4 hours.

Like an oasis, God’s goodness is found in dry and difficult places. How often, I wonder, do we fail to see His goodness because our spiritual senses have been dulled by comfort. Sometimes God’s gifts are seen more clearly when we are tired and thirsty. May we always thirst for Him (Ps. 143:6).

Dear Lord, may our desire for You be like that of
a deer panting for cold, refreshing water. Please
don’t allow comfort or worldly success to keep us
from seeing You in every detail of our lives.

Jesus is the only fountain who can satisfy the thirsty soul.

Read: Joshua 3:1-11

I spread out my hands to You; my soul longs for You like a thirsty land. —Psalm 143:6

Bible in a Year:
Isaiah 46-48

What HAPPY Lil Kittens, Meg!

Can't it be DOG-UR-DAY, too?

[MEG33]

Awww Of course!
What a sweetie.

YEEEEESSSSSSSS !!!!!

[Diver Dave]

Taking our Golden Retriever in for grooming and a haircut today. He’s not a happy camper with all that fur in this heat. Maybe it will curtail a lot of his shedding.

[yorkie]

LOL! NOTHING will curtail a golden’s shedding! (The hair on your floor and couch will just be shorter.)

BUT - there’s nothing sweeter than a golden. Wish I could have one!

Happy Caturday!

Linda The Dog sends her Greetings, and is not concerned that it's Caturday.

For Linda, EVERY DAY is DOGURDAY!

Linda is living well!!

[left that other site]

It’s a Dog’s life! LOL!

She does have to put up with ME though. That makes her worth her weight in cookies.

[MEG33]

LOL..She looks like that’s easy to do.

[geologist]

Thank you, Meg, for the kind words and thoughts.

[geologist]

Many times KeeKee has come to mind in the last few days. Memories, and fun, and responsibility. God is good. I am left with good memories.

Thank you, for you thoughtfulness.

Well, I DO force her to walk 3 MILES every morning with me.

But she accepts her fate.

[oldteen]

Have a wonderful day!

[MEG33]

I join the kitties in rejoicing in Paul Ryan being VP pick. Been hoping and praying for this for months.

Yea!
