Hello friends! (including a few of you who are NOT regulars on this thread just for purposes of saying HI ETC)

caught up on most recent posts including the yummy meal for the 4th. Good thing it was cyber or everyone would have gained 5#

I am still in Oklahoma. Nothing like coming for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years & still being at a place for 4th July! Golly, glad I have a nice brother!

My broken ankle from mid May is SLOWLY healing.. complication with bad infection resulted in 5 day stay for IV antibiotics a month after initial surgery to put my foot back on my leg.

Now they aren’t sure the tissue is growing well over the plate so that might have to come out. GAG.. hope that is not a reality

In the meantime back in Ohio my nightmares await. Dealing with the run down home, probate etc.

But on a brighter note I have my 50th HS reunion (if being that old can be considered bright).. I guess I will be flying. That is in mid august. I still cannot stand or put weight on the foot and the doc does NOT want me to drive 1000 miles at this point. I used to love flying. TSA has changed all that.

I am going to my HS reunion with my HS/college boyfriend of 5 years. How cool is that? He is picking me up at airport, acting as my chauffer and I will be staying with he & his mom at his home for the extended weeekend. Will return to perhaps surgery but maybe with luck just a few more weeks till I get clearance to drive.

The interesting thing about where my friend lives is that it is quite rural... Amish area partially and only about half a mile from where my dads parents and grandparents moved to when they immigrated from Czechoslovokia in the early 1900s. My dad was born there & the farmland area is still very rural & still w/o electricity and plumbing just as it was when my dad was a child there.(large very nice Amish family lives there)

He owns several acres and has a nice home that his mom shares with him since she became widowed. Jim is a retired corporate pilot, widower w/o kids (that is a plus)

Well, just a quick catch up .. see many of you on Facebook and I am spending a bit less time on line just because I go out to read more & spend time with dogs and am also doing a few other misc. projects. A wheelchair surely does slow one down.

Blessings and love to you!

4th july was challenging here for my Toby. He never has liked storms & fireworks and here in suburban OKC the people are fanatics. 3 days of terror for him. I finally have a ThunderShirt for him and perhaps it helped a bit but he was still shaking like crazy & consequently I spent a lot of time out there holding him.

Sounds like a great Independence Day weekend despite problems.

Hope your ankle quickly gets back to normal if possible.

~Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place~


Awake to the gift of Day
and set your sights high
See the world anew I say
and let Him draw nigh
Boldly take what He gives free
in humble gratitude today
Sharing the gift with all we see
in His honor as we may
_WayzataJOHNN

~Blessings To All Who Enter Here~

Freep mail me to be on or off the Daily Bread ping list


Welcome To All!

July 7, 2013

A beautifying project on the main road of my town prompted the demolition of a church built in the 1930s. Although the windows of the empty church had been removed, the doors remained in place for several days, even as bulldozers began knocking down walls. Each set of doors around the church building held a message written in giant, fluorescent-orange block letters: KEEP OUT!

Unfortunately, some churches whose doors are open convey that same message to visitors whose appearance doesn’t measure up to their standards. No fluorescent, giant-size letters needed. With a single disapproving glance, some people communicate: “You’re Not Welcome Here!”

How people look on the outside, of course, is not an indicator of what is in their hearts. God’s focus is on the inner life of people. He looks far below the surface of someone’s appearance (1 Sam. 16:7) and that’s what He desires for us to do as well. He also knows the hearts of those who appear to be “righteous” but are “full of hypocrisy” on the inside (Matt. 23:28).

God’s message of welcome, which we are to show to others, is clear. He says to all who seek Him: “Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters” (Isa. 55:1).

Thank You, Lord, that You welcome all into
Your family, and You have welcomed me. Show me
how to be as accepting of others as You are.
May I reveal Your heart of love.
No one will know what you mean when you say, “God is love”—unless you show it.

Read: Isaiah 55:1-9

Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. —1 Samuel 16:7
Bible in a Year:
Job 34-35; Acts 15:1-21

Whisper a wish to a butterfly,
And it will fly up to Heaven
And make it come true.

Have a Blessed Sunday, my FRiends.
