Hi Amy!
Part of me wants the summer to stay...but part of me is ready for fall to start.
I know, I think I like winter better….hmmm, I say the opposite when winter comes. Go figure.
I used to love winter when I was a kid. But now that I have to drive through snow and ice and I don't tolerate the cold like I used to, I don't care much for winter anymore. LOL!
Well, we just have to take whatever we get. :-)
True. Do you have any plans for the rest of the weekend?
Tomorrow is cleaning day, and I'm getting a Chihuahua hehehe. I have a Bichon Frise and I think they'll get along really well.
Oh cool. :) I like dogs and cats. I have 1 cat, but he lives with my parents. I don't get to see him much while I'm at school. The apartment complex that I live in doesn't allow pets - plus I don't think he'd be too happy away from "his" house. LOL!
Yeah, cats are great as well. I have a cat, Lucky. I also have an aquarium with 3 fish about 5" each and a teddy bear hamster, LOL. Yep, I like pets. I don't have birds, they're too messy.
I thought about getting some fish, since fish are allowed in my apartment. I just haven't gotten around to getting any yet. I do want pets (mainly cats or dogs) once I can afford a bigger place. LOL!
I know what you mean, but you can take them for a daily walk. Little dogs are easy to keep and you can have them in small places. I love pets, they are friendly and loyal.
I love pets too. I like having them around.
Me too. :-)
I'm gonna go to bed. Night!
Mornin', everybody ! Happy Sunday !
Have a cup while you Freep !
For those who prefer hot chocolate.....
Read: Psalm 40:1-10
He has put a new song in my mouth—praise to our God. —Psalm 40:3
Bible In One Year: Psalms 20-22; Acts 21:1-17
The song of the humpback whale is one of the strangest in nature. It is a weird combination of high- and low-pitched groanings. Those who have studied the humpback whale say their songs are noteworthy because these giants of the deep are continually changing them. New patterns are added and old ones eliminated so that over a period of time the whale actually sings a whole new song.
There’s a sense in which a Christian should be continually composing new songs of praise around the fresh mercies of God. Unfortunately, many of us just keep singing“the same old song.”
We must repeatedly affirm the fundamentals of our faith. But as the psalmist tells us, the works of God’s deliverance in the lives of His people are many. His works, which are more than we can count, give us reasons to express our praise to Him in numerous ways (Psalm 40:5).
So why do we express our testimony of God’s saving grace in the same old way year after year? A fresh experience of the mercies of the cross and of Christ’s resurrection power should continually fill our hearts and minds with new songs.
The gospel story never changes—thank God for that. But our songs of praise should be ever new. —Mart De Haan
Seeing God’s work in our lives puts a new song on our lips.
Here are four possible themes for July 18:
1. Chrysanthemum Day
2. Wiener Day
3. Cedarfest (Tennessee)
4. Dental Awareness Day
Ode To The Dentist
I'd been a good soldier and flossed every night
But my dentist spoke of an emerging fight
He said "We need a different plan of attack"
"To defeat this gritty enemy called plaque”
If I eat candy he'll be on my case
This drill-bit sergeant’s always in my face
He chose something sharp from his dental kit
And said with a wink, "This won't hurt a bit"
He shot me with novocaine until my speech was slurred
He gave me the gas and my vision became blurred
When I came to I wondered whose side he was on
Clearly a line in the sand had been drawn
My dental alliance was in the tank
So that night I decided to pull rank
I pitched my toothpaste and grieved the loss
By brushing my teeth with Hershey's Chocolate Sauce

No Frills Dentist Appointment
The Smiths were shown into the dentist's office, where Mr. Smith made it clear he was in a big hurry.
"No fancy stuff, Doctor," he ordered, "No gas or needles or any of that stuff. Just pull the tooth and get it over with."
"I wish more of my patients were as stoic as you," said the dentist admiringly. "Now, which tooth is it?"
Mr. Smith turned to his wife Sue. "Show him, honey."
