I just finished reviewing my lecture notes for tomorrow. I'm glad I'm teaching the same class again. It will make it easier.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Oh, I think so. I'll be posting Amy's opening now. I don't expect anyone besides you, lol, but she told me to do that.

[tuliptree76]

Okay.

I took a jaunt
and viewed some sites.
One previous haunt
some new delights.
Time flew by
most was fun.
Lessons learned
risks run and won.
Now back home
in this comfy place,
I fondly call
Ms. Amy's place.

Tight Lines

Read: Matthew 4:18-20

Always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear. —1 Peter 3:15

Bible In One Year: Exodus 8-10

---

Fishermen sometimes bestow this blessing on one another: "May you keep a tight line," by which we mean, "May you always have a trout on your line."

As I've gotten older, however, I must confess that a tight line means less to me now than it once did. I get as much enjoyment from fishing as I do from catching.

When I'm fishing, I have more time to walk streamside and enjoy the solitude and silence, and to look for places where fish might be lurking. When I try too hard to catch, I lose too many fish and the enjoyment of the day.

Jesus calls us to be fishers of men, not catchers (Matthew 4:19). My job is to go where the fish are, walk among them, study their habitat, and learn their ways. And then to toss out a line and see if one rises to the surface. There's more enjoyment in that easy effort, and I have better results.

So I want to fish for people, looking for opportunities to speak a word about Jesus, casting here and there, and leaving the results with God. It's more calming for me and for the fish—the folks who might get spooked by my clumsiness.

Thus I now bless my fellow fishers with: "May you keep your line in the water." Or, as another fisherman once put it, "Always be ready" (1 Peter 3:15). —David Roper

White are the fields for the harvest,
Workers are all too few;
Souls are awaiting the message—
Christ still depends on you. —Anon.

When you fish for souls, cast your nets in faith and draw them in with love.

Good Morning!

Just thought that I would let you know that JustAmy and Mama_Bear are on their way east. They got to the airport and through security without any problems.

[The Mayor]

Thanks for the update! I knew they were leaving but not when..

I wonder if Amy wanted me to ping the whole list while she was gone?
Hmmm, I had better go back and look at her pings to me.
I have her ping list and have done it in the past when she was traveling..

Prayers for their safety and for all the members of FreeRepublic going to D.C.

I wanted to be ther so badly but can't.

I don't know...I do know that I got Mama_Bear set up with a dial-up and that JustAmy had a CD with her. That is the limit of my knowledge.

I wanted to be ther so badly but can't.

In a way I would like to have gone, but I have a busy week here at work.
