Hello!
And I missed you again!

[ST.LOUIE1]

It's not for me to say…

You forget......I can't play 'ram'. : (

Am off to watch the hockey game. Later. : )

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Why hello there.. I just fell in here today while I was out exploring freeper-ville. Nice thread you all have here.

[Darksheare]

I'm always somewhere.
Where it might be at any given time I'm not sure, but I'm somewhere.

I tend to wander about, at random.
Yes, this is a nice thread.
As opposed to the den of weirdness that is the Dimensional Doors.
But, that can be considered a nice thread in it's own right.
(Usually by the denizens of that thread.. like myself.)

Hey, CG & LE,

Thanks for being there in the Flag-Tag game. Sorry I couldn't stick around longer.

At least it seemed to have petered out.

In a Minute...
I’ll be there in a minute,
I’ve had the ruffest day.
First there was that stupid cat,
Then the mailman got away.

I need to get some breakfast,
And fix my hair for youse,
But now before I do that stuff,
I’ve got to get my snoozzzzzzz.......

I am posting Wednesday's welcome graphic and poem a little early. I just can't stay up quite as late as Amy does.

NnB, love the poem you wrote for this silly graphic!

Don't know if I am going to be able to be around tomorrow or not, I'll try to stop in now and then to make sure there is fresh coffee on.

Have a nice day, everyone!

[leadpenny]

Not silly at all! The graphic and poem have me LMAO.

Well, maybe it is silly. Silly is good.

[tioga]

[Conspiracy Guy]

People get so inflamed over that issue. It approaches silly.

Too funny

[The Mayor]

O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever. —Psalm 30:12

Instead of complaining about the thorns on roses, be thankful for the roses among the thorns.

God Is Alive!

Read: Psalm 30

O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever. —Psalm 30:12

Bible In One Year: 1 Chronicles 28-29; John 9:24-41

The great 16th-century theologian Martin Luther once experienced a long period of worry and despondency. One day his wife dressed in black mourning clothes.

"Who has died?" asked Luther.

"God," said his wife.

"God!" said Luther, horrified. "How can you say such a thing?"

She replied, "I'm only saying what you are living."

Luther realized that he indeed was living as if God were no longer alive and watching over them in love. He changed his outlook from gloom to gratitude.

Occasionally we too live as if God were dead. When we are discouraged, we can turn to the Psalms. Some of the writers faced bleak and barren times, but they had one habit in common that kept them from being soured: giving thanks to God. For example, David wrote, "You have turned for me my mourning into dancing . . . . O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever" (Psalm 30:11-12).

Meeting every situation with thanksgiving isn't a denial of trouble. It helps us see those situations from God's perspective—as opportunities to discover His power and love.

Every time you express gratitude to God in a difficult situation, you're declaring, "God is alive!" —Joanie Yoder

When things go wrong, I would not be a grumbler,
Complaining, seeing everything as grim;
For when I think of how the Lord has blessed me,
I cannot help but give my praise to Him. —Hess

Instead of complaining about the thorns on roses, be thankful for the roses among the thorns.

Truthfully CG- Your poems are beautiful, and I hope you don't mind if I say they speak what is on my mind and in my heart.

Thank for the welcome and the links. And thanks for sharing your work with me and us. I really do love your poems. I write a bit, however I am not brave enough to show anyone... ( insert chicken clucking right here). Have a great day!

Morning Mayor.
