I have a hole collection too! We must be related.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Look in the closet under the stack of stuff you keep meaning to organize. There is usually nothing there, take a picture. Be careful not to fall in your hole collection.

[NicknamedBob]

"...We must be related."

Yeah, um, I think so, but ... one of us is likely the ancestor of the other in some way, and I can't tell which!!

Dang confusing time machines!!

By the way, I knew a fella, Larry Niven, who had a WHOLE hole collection -- one each of every kind of hole you can imagine!!

Yep, you guessed it. He added one too many, and lost the hole shebang down the event horizon. Too bad, too, cause that one special kind of hole makes a great garbage disposal -- not meaning to bring politics into the discussion, however.

Hi Victoria. Flower or vegetable?

[Victoria Delsoul]

Flowers and a couple of bushes.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Is everyone behaving in here?????

[Conspiracy Guy]

Holes can be very useful but also dangerous if used unwisely. Never stack your holes.

Nothing is more manageable but also has some inherent dangers. I once left some nothing laying on top of something and ended up with nothing. Nothing can be stacked with nothing or something but nothing always needs to be placed under something rather than vice versa.

[NicknamedBob]

Most people tend to put something where they have been storing nothing, but they are sensible enough to put nothing on top of things that are really fragile and delicate.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I was keeping most of my nothing in a cedar chest. Then I accidentally left a hole leaning against the side of tha chest and the nothing spilled out and engulfed the room. I built the room back but I miss Uncle Fred.

On The Wings Of Prayer

Just close your eyes and open your heart,
And feel your worries and cares depart.

Just yield yourself to the Father above,
And let Him hold you secure in His love.

For life on earth grows more involved,
With endless problems that can't be solved.

But God only asks us to do our best,
Then He will take over and do the rest.

So when you are tired, discouraged and blue,
There is always one door that is open to you.

And that is the door to the House of Prayer,
And you'll find God waiting to meet you there.

And the House of Prayer is no further away,
Than the quiet spot where you kneel to pray.

For the heart is a temple when God is there,
As we place ourselves in His loving care.

And He hears every prayer and answers each one,
when we pray in His name, Thy will be done.

The burdens that seemed too heavy to bear,
Are lifted away on the wings of a prayer.

Daily Bread

Read: Leviticus 24:1-9

I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. —John 6:51

Bible In One Year: Psalms 126-128; 1 Corinthians 10:19-33

---

Bread has come to be regarded as something less than what it was in Bible times. We don't usually think of it as a symbol of life's necessities. In Jesus' day, however, bread represented nourishment in all its many forms.

This helps us understand why the Lord told Israel to put bread in the Holy Place of the tabernacle—His "house of symbols." There in that first room, 12 loaves were to be displayed on a golden table "before the Lord" (Leviticus 24:6). Those loaves re-minded Israel that God always provides for His own when they come to Him on His terms. The bread reflected God's promise to provide for all who hunger and thirst for righteousness (Matthew 5:6; 6:31-34).

For the believer in Christ, bread may represent the Bible, Jesus, Christian fellowship, or any of the provisions God has made for our spiritual needs. He cares for us and He's ready to feed us, but His offer is not unconditional. He promised to provide daily "bread" for those who in obedience have separated themselves to live and to eat from the hand of God.

The Lord cares for all who willingly and humbly receive their physical and spiritual food from Him. —Mart De Haan

In You, O Lord, we take delight,
Our every need You can supply;
We long to do what's true and right,
So, Lord, on You we will rely. —D. De Haan

Only Christ the Living Bread can satisfy our spiritual hunger.

Holes

Watch out please for all the holes,
They are everywhere.
When you're walking in the dark,
Please take special care.
Small holes they can trip you fast,
Have a nasty fall.
But big holes can engulf you,
You can lose it all.
Pocket holes can lose your cash,
They will leave you broke.
Holes in walls take privacy,
Holes are not a joke.
So when you see a hole somewhere,
Fill or cover it.
Just be careful all the time,
Holes give me a fit.

"Bush's stint in Guard scrutinized":
REBUTTAL TO TODAY'S WASHINGTON POST HIT PIECE

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you for the beautiful poem and graphic!

[NicknamedBob]

"Still have lots of nothing and some holes?"

Yep!! We're thinking of starting a new fashion trend.
Better get some sunglasses -- it ain't gonna be pretty.

Nothing to Wear

She organized the closet,
And threw out all my stuff.
She said she needed lots more room,
And that I had enough.

I had to compromise a bit,
With all the nothing there.
My costume thus became a hit,
For I was wearing air!

I've heard them say "dress for success,"
I know what that's about.
It was my favorite way to dress,
Until I wore it out!
