Young pups are pretty much the same,
All the world around.
They’re living their most lofty dreams,
In contact with the ground.

They always have a need to learn,
Where they should do their tinkling.
These have been most difficult,
They do a lot of sprinkling.

Thank you for sharing your music with us. Sorry that I'm just now getting back to you.

Just to Call You Friend.

I really like this.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Grzegorz.

Nice to see you this morning. Hope you are having a wonderful week. I'm taking a lazy break this week.

We went to the coast for a couple of days; we are going to a new Indian Gaming Center Thursday night. I have heard that it is lovely so we are going to check out their restaurants and their rooms. Hubby and son will do a little gambling. I will be entertaining a 4 year. :)

Thank you for helping out the last couple of days.
I really appreciate you.

[JustAmy]

Not at all ..... Hope you post it on the new thread this weekend. This thread is about poems, music, jokes, food and just about anything else we decide to discuss.

[JustAmy]

Thank you for the poem and graphic used in today's Welcome.

I don't remember using it earlier but if I did, it is cute enough to use again. :)

Thank you both!!

btw, good morning to everyone. i missed part two of Bill O'reilly's interview with Dubya last night. but from what i saw of part one, it was one one of the best interviews i've ever seen Dubya give. it was excellent! Dubya was relaxed, funny, personable, confident...it was just great!

I saw bits and pieces of both but did not get a chance to really watch either.

I cannot believe there are voters out there that would actually vote for John FlipFlop Kerry.

I cannot believe there are voters out there that would actually vote for John FlipFlop Kerry.

neither can i. i is beyond my comprehension. btw, i think f'n skerry is in serious trouble right now. i know that can change (and i pray it does not), but candidates should not be doing near as bad as he is right about now.

Happy 4th Anniversary, Deadhead.
We are happy that you are part of our FReeRepublic Family.

A Web Of Relationships

Read: John 15:1-14

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. —Mark 12:30

Bible In One Year: Isaiah 7-8; Ephesians 2

---

A Harvard Business School professor wrote an open letter to the nation's graduates. He told them that in one sense they needed to forget what they had learned in school. He said that schools tend to put too much emphasis on the idea that success comes as a result of passing tests. The professor pointed out that in the workplace doing well depends largely on learning to succeed in what he called a "web of relationships"—the ability to cooperate with others and function as an effective team.

This truth also applies to living the Christian life. We often think that spiritual maturity and success result from how much we know about biblical facts and principles.

Jesus showed us, however, that real success comes from something else—from loving one another in the same way He loved us. He made it clear that we can do this only if we "abide" in Him (John 15:7). This means that we must stay close to Him through prayer and willingly obey His commands (v.10). Our web of relationships must extend first to God and then to others.

The secret of spiritual success is not just in acquiring individual knowledge—it's in combining that knowledge with love in all our relationships. —Mart De Haan

Lord, help us learn from what You did
When You lived on this earth;
You spread Your love to all You met—
You gave each one true worth. —Branon

As Christians draw close to Christ, they draw closer to one another.

Thank you for our Daily Bread, Rus. And thank you for opening the thread the past two mornings. That is a really nice mug!

Have a wonderful Wednesday.

Hope my Grandpa doesn't mind me using his picture!!


G is for Grumpy, always, all day long.
E is for Edgy, usually, when boredom comes along.
E is for Eggs, I like em, for breakfast make my fried.
Z is for Zebra, It's a word, to make it work I tried.
E is for E-words, Once again, there are 3 in this word.
R is for Rowdy, Wild at heart, we once were, you have heard.

Put them all together they spell Geezer, we're a happy bunch.
As long as we can take a nap, right after we eat lunch.
