Their convention seems to be doomed before it even gets started! What more could we ask for? LOL. And their lineup of speakers is a real snoozer!
It's nice to 'see' you. Hope you are doing well!
I’m ok, a daughter in the hospital and other stuff, but life goes on. Appreciate your pings as they are a ‘hello’ to me. (HUGS)
GREAT picture, teenie.
Life does go on...one day at a time! :)
How've you been? Enjoying this weather? It was so chilly up here last night I had to go around and close windows!
Hope daughter is has nothing serious. Prayers for her!
She needs the prayers Teenie, and thanks very much. I haven’t posted in over a month but went wild tonight to make myself ‘move’ for a change, lol.
Wishing you a Blessed Sunday friend.
It's Good to See you!

Been doing okay. Enjoying this cooler weather and we had to close our window too.
Gonna heat up again this next week from what I’ve been reading. I really enjoy warm weather.
Leaves will probably start falling in the next few weeks. Wish our trees would put out the brilliant colors of fall that I grew up with, Maples, birch and chestnut trees, but the big tree in our front yard is a Modesto Ash. It’s leaves turn an ugly brown with sticky leaves.
Y’all have a great Lord’s Day.
Have you ever been stuck in a conversation with someone who talks only about himself? To be polite, you strike up a dialogue by asking questions. The other person proceeds to talk endlessly about himself, and he never once asks you anything. It is all about that personand nothing about you.
Imagine what it must be like for our heavenly Father to listen to our prayers during our devotional time. We may have read a portion of His Word, but then in prayer we swiftly shift focus exclusively to our needs. We ask for help in solving a problem, providing for a financial need, or healing a physical ailment. But the passage weve just read doesnt even enter into our prayers. What God has just said to us goes largely unacknowledged.
Apparently the writer of Psalm 119 did not have this perspective. Instead, he sought Gods help in understanding the Word: Open my eyes, he said, that I may see wondrous things from Your law (v.18). And as he prayed he expressed how he treasured Gods Word, calling it his delight (v.24).
Lets develop a discipline of praying our response to the Word. It just might transform our devotional time. Bible reading and prayer should reflect a two-way communication.
Read: Psalm 119:17-24

I love the old hymn that goes "On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand..."
