So far my weekend is going pretty good.

Marissa is spending the night with my sister. My sister's 4 yr old grandson is spending the night and the two of them enjoy playing together.

I was away from the thread most of the day. Seems like there were several things that I needed to do. Since the thread was very slow, it was a good time to get caught up. :)

*grin*

These are great ... can't you just see Edwards asking these stupid questions?

[Victoria Delsoul]

Well, it's nice to have a break, right? I'm glad.

I've been busy, too and time seems to fly. Not enough time for all I want to do. LOL

"To the wise, God's Word is sufficient."

Good evening, Mayor. Thank you for the Daily Bread this morning.

I hope you had a good Saturday and I'm wishing you a lovely Sunday.

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Tulip.

You are very welcome. I always enjoy listening to "Alley Cat"; it is such a catchy tune.

You mentioned dancing while your Grandmother played the music. While looking through some music links, I played "Me and My Shadow", Marissa wanted me to just keep playing it while she bounced around. She had fun.

[JustAmy]

I need to start walking again. Maybe after school starts and the weather cools off a little, I can start walking every morning.

I have so many things I'm planning to do during those three hours that I will probably still be short of time. ;~)

[JustAmy]

LOL ..... thanks.

Good evening, TS.

I hope you had a wonderful Saturday.

Were you affected by Charley?

[JustAmy]

Good evening, AC

Hope the weekend is being good to you!

[Terabitten]

Nope, we had an absolutely gorgeous day. The temperature was mild, humidity unseasonably low... it was wonderful.

[JustAmy]

That's great news.

I'm not sure where everyone is located.

I think Jen is in Georgia and Spookbrat is someplace in Florida.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Good for you. I know how much you enjoy walking - you're probably looking forward to it.

The Total Package

Read: Colossians 1:19-23

You were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit. —1 Corinthians 6:20

Bible In One Year: Psalms 91-93; Romans 15:1-13

---

Our family had lived in the same house for many years, and it was time for a change of scenery. When we finally discovered a house we liked, we began negotiating for its purchase.

We had to find out if the refrigerator stayed. And the stove. But we knew some things were not going to stay. The furniture didn't come with the house. And I jokingly wondered if we could keep the cars in the garage.

When you buy a house, you may not get the total package. The owner takes his belongings with him, although you may have the option to buy some of them.

Many things in life have purchase options. But that's not how it is with our faith in Jesus Christ. When Jesus purchased us with His blood on the cross, He didn't get only a portion of us. He's not just the Lord of the religious stuff; He owns everything. So why do we sometimes live as if parts of us don't belong to Jesus? That's not fair to the buyer.

"You were bought at a price," Paul wrote. "Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's" (1 Corinthians 6:20).

Christ bought us—body, soul, and spirit. Let's make sure we let Him use the total package for His glory. —Dave Branon

You have bought us, and no longer
Can we claim to be our own;
Giving freely, naught withholding,
We shall serve You, Lord, alone. —Murray

Jesus gave His all; He deserves our all.

Thanks for the words of wisdom, Mayor.

I have to start walking again too. I quit when my work schedule changed. I can feel a difference.

[The Mayor]

Your Welcome

G'Night all!

[tuliptree76]

Night, Mayor.

[JustAmy]

I enjoy getting out for a walk and it is good for my health. I spend too many hours sitting here at the computer. Well ..... not as many as I did before the child. :)

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Rus. Thank you for bringing us the scripture lesson this evening.

Have a wonderful, relaxing Sunday!!

[JustAmy]

I really do not want to gain back the 15 pounds that I lost so I need to get the excercise program started again.

It is so easy to break the habit of the daily walk. I quit when Marissa moved in. Then it got too darn hot to walk. Too hot to just step outside. :)
