Today's Daily Bread Link. Thank you, Mayor.

The laws of God are true and right;
They stand as firm today
As when He put them in His Word
And told us to obey. —Fasick

Obedience to God is the key to a lasting influence

Reflections

God sets a mirror down for us,
To bounce back sunny days,
He does it when the rain has passed,
To help us see the rays.

The reflection that we see in it,
Is not of hair and skin.
What we see is an image of,
The gloried state we’re in.

Light pink, and brighter orange,
And yellow brighter still.
I sit and look at glory’s frame,
Upon my favorite hill.

The others call it rainbow,
But I know what it is,
A magic mirror in the sky,
That lets us know we’re His.

The body that we occupy down here,
Is nothing like its start,
For one, the most attractive thing,
Has always been the heart.

God looks into our heart and then,
Just for His own amusement.
He gives a glimpse of what He sees,
And laughs at our confusement.

“That doesn’t look at all like me!”
I hear your protests start,
But when you look at other folks,
How can you see their heart?

If you admit there’s beauty,
Reflecting from some source,
Just think how glorious it will be,
When He’s revealed full force.

And you and I are with Him,
And joining in the glow.
Next time you see a rainbow,
I thought you ought to know.

Phone company contractors laying COVAD lines for added ADSL servcie in the area, and they killed our internet connection on Friday.
We weren't back up until last night.
(Contractors.. they unplugged some stuff and didn't plug it back in when their 'day' was over. If it's not done when the day is over, it's not done until the next work day.. Tuesday in this case..)

[JustAmy]

Thank you.

Have a beautiful Wednesday!!

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Meekie.
We are going to have another hot one.

[JustAmy]

Well .... I haven't had any contractor problems.

I'm just finding free time a luxury. Between the puppy and the 4 year old, I'm either busy or trying to take a nap.;~)

I was wondering where you were. Have you tried restraints?

Wearing a life jacket, Trek, a 3-year-old Jack Russell Terrier, gets a lift from his owner.
The life jacket provides an emergency lifting point should the dog fall overboard, or
require a quick pick-me-up when around granddaughters while on vacation. (AP)
