Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday, Friends.
We are still on vacation but I'm staying busy.
Marissa enjoyed Freshman Orientation yesterday.
Saw her friends and is anxious to see them every day.
Didn't get her IPhone fixed yesterday.
We need to make an appointment for today and see if we can get that taken care of.
Have a beautiful day and thank you for being here.

Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday To Amy's Place
Pondering Summer
I love the sounds of laughter glad
And kids playing under the sun
The way a kite reaches for God
And how he makes it dance upon His breath so light
How clouds play charades a tad
And then move on when they are done
Teasing the watchers who smile and nod
And take this summer day from dawn to gentle night

Hope Your Day Is Going Well

So do I, Meg.
I miss our in-house poets.
When school starts and we get our health insurance taken care of, I will try to post some of the old poems.

To avoid the huge penalties, we need to get a group plan for FR. What a mess!
I’m glad hubby and I are on Medicare. Not sure what is going to happen with Marissa.

The Parable Of The Sting
August 14, 2014
Read: 1 Peter 2:9-12
I can still see Jay Elliotts shocked face as I burst through his front door almost 50 years ago with a gang of bees swirling around me. As I raced out his back door, I realized the bees were gone. Well, sort ofId left them in Jays house! Moments later, he came racing out his back doorchased by the bees I had brought to him.
I had more than a dozen stings, with little effect. Jay had a different experience. Though hed been stung only once or twice by my bees, his eyes and throat swelled up in a painful allergic reaction. My actions had caused a lot of pain for my friend.
Thats a picture of whats true in our interpersonal relationships too. We hurt others when our actions arent Christlike. Even after an apology, the sting sticks.
People would be right to expect an absence of harshness and an air of patience from those who follow Christ. We forget sometimes that people struggling with faith, or life, or both, watch Christians with expectation. They hope to see less anger and more mercy, less judgment and more compassion, less criticism and more encouragement. Jesus and Peter told us to live good lives so God is given the glory (Matt. 5:16; 1 Peter 2:12). May our actions and reactions point those around us to our loving Father.
We have found that its easy to hurt others
with our words or actions. Teach us, Father,
to pause and to think before we speak or act.
Fill us with kindness and care.
May others see less of me and more of Jesus.
Peter wrote to Christians who were going through fiery trials of intense persecution (1 Peter 1:6; 4:12). He encouraged these believers to persevere, to remain faithful, and to view these difficult times as opportunities to strengthen their faith and bear witness to Christ. In todays passage, Peter reminded them of their special identity and spiritual status as Gods chosen people (vv.9-10). A chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation are descriptions applied to the Jews in the Old Testament (Ex. 19:5-6; Isa. 43:20-21), but here Peter applies them to believers. He reminds themand usthat we are chosen by God for the purpose of witnessing and testifying to Gods love (vv.9-10).
