Thank you, Mayor. With the enviro-nazis insisting the water go to the fish, we can only pray that farmers will get their share. At least with these recent rains, farmers are not having to run their pumps.

Thank you for being here with ODB every morning. I love seeing your post when I fire up my computer every day. It is a wonderful way to start the day.

I’m also happy that this is a place all can come to get away from the election mess. It has been getting so nasty. Praying we can all come together whenever this primary season if over.

Thanks! I avoid many threads, just to much nasty vindictive posts.
Hopefully soon things will calm down and we can focus on defeating Hillary, the real opposition.

No matter who the nominee, we must defeat Hillary. We cannot survive another 4 years identical to the past 8.

Go Cruz
Go Trump

Don’t Quit!

March 11, 2016

Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.

Hebrews 12:1-2

In 1952 Florence Chadwick attempted to swim 26 miles from the coast of California to Catalina Island. After 15 hours, a heavy fog began to block her view, she became disoriented, and she gave up. To her chagrin, Chadwick learned that she had quit just 1 mile short of her destination.

Two months later Chadwick tried a second time to swim to Catalina Island from the coast. Again a thick fog settled in, but this time she reached her destination, becoming the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel. Chadwick said she kept an image of the shoreline in her mind even when she couldn't see it.

When the problems of life cloud our vision, we have an opportunity to learn to see our goal with the eyes of faith. The New Testament letter to the Hebrews urges us to "run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith" (12:1-2). When we feel like quitting, this is our signal to remember not only what Jesus suffered for us but what He now helps us to endure--until the day we see Him face to face.

Dear Father, sometimes the challenges of life seem insurmountable. Help me to fix my eyes on You and trust You. I'm thankful You are bringing about Your good purposes in me.

We can finish strong when we focus on Christ.

INSIGHT:

Using the metaphor of a marathon and a stadium of cheering supporters, the writer of Hebrews encouraged persecuted Christians to persevere and to remain faithful. The constant call of Scripture is: Don't give up! Keep your eye on the finish line! Finish the race! (1 Cor. 9:24-27; Phil. 3:13-14; 2 Tim. 4:7; Heb. 12:1-2).

Abigail’s Reminder

March 12, 2016

When the Lord takes pleasure in anyone's way, he causes their enemies to make peace with them.

Proverbs 16:7

David and 400 of his warriors thundered through the countryside in search of Nabal, a prosperous brute who had harshly refused to lend them help. David would have murdered him if he hadn't first encountered Abigail, Nabal's wife. She had packed up enough food to feed an army and traveled out to meet the troops, hoping to head off disaster. She respectfully reminded David that guilt would haunt him if he followed through with his vengeful plan (1 Sam. 25:31). David realized she was right and blessed her for her good judgment.

David's anger was legitimate--he had protected Nabal's shepherds in the wilderness (vv.14-17) and had been repaid evil for good. However, his anger was leading him into sin. David's first instinct was to sink his sword into Nabal, even though he knew God did not approve of murder and revenge (Ex. 20:13; Lev. 19:18).

When we've been offended, it's good to compare our instincts with God's intent for human behavior. We may be inclined to strike at people verbally, isolate ourselves, or escape through any number of ways. However, choosing a gracious response will help us avoid regret, and most important it will please God. When our desire is to honor God in our relationships, He is able to make even our enemies to be at peace with us (see Prov. 16:7).

Lord, thank You for holding back Your anger and having mercy on me. Help me to walk in step with Your Spirit so that my actions please You in every situation.

We can endure life's wrongs because we know that God will make things right.

I am tempted to just open my comments for a few days and avoid TV news...It’s really ugly right now.

I remember August 1968.

Good Morning To Amy's Place

Sorry to be so late. :(

A Wish

Of all our sunny world
I wish only for a garden sofa
where a cat is sunning itself.

There I should sit
with a letter at my breast,
a single small letter.
That is what my dream looks like.

Happy Caturday, Dogurday and Bunnyday!

what a sweet poem Trisham.
Makes me envision that sweet cat in the sun.
We are having a beautiful day here in Los Angeles after a
brief and heavy rain yesterday.

Yes, spring is in the air...refreshing!! Happy Caturday to you LTOS

Good Morning Amy...
Yes, this is a very safe and restful place, and when I grow weary, I find this a healing balm.
Should just stay here and leave the threads alone on the other side of the fence.
Hope your doing well...
