I think Mr. Reeves has something here

The Empty Church
Cookies ain't fatnin
Nobody's perfect
No late fees !!

[international american]

Thanks Amy. I will be playing it today!

I just had a discussion with SamWolf about this.
He calls the church of today "Church Lite" and it is so true.

I told him and it is my opinion that,
If the Church had not been so quiet all these years about
Gays, abortion, removal of Prayer, etc, etc........

We would not be in the situation we are in today.
The deafening silence of the churches will be our demise.

So, what's the point of "Make Your Point" day?

I guess we are supposed to make our point. ;-)

Good morning, Mayor. Thank You!!
Are you still snowed in? Hope the warm weather heads your direction soon.

[JustAmy]

LOL

Is tomorrow "Make Your Point" day? If so, I can think about it tonight. Right now, I have no point to make. :)

Hope you are having a terrific Thursday.

We have had plenty of snow, much more than DC....

Weather is very cold, 7 degrees
Roads are good, I plow my way thru in my van.

Been living in the northeast over 40 years, driving in this for all to long.
I'm ready for spring.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

EVERY day should be chocolate cake day!

; )

(Thank you for the recipe!)

[JustAmy]

Are you ready to return to the desert?

I guess we were lucky that we didn't get more snow in DC ... I think we had enough to last us for awhile. :)

We did not know what to expect when the weather alerts started talking about lines at the grocery checkouts and a foot of snow. I wondered if we would ever get home. ;~)

[JustAmy]

*grin*

That's my sentiments exactly. I think I will go have a piece of chocolate candy. :)

[The Mayor]

I have thought about it, I spoke to my sister this am and she said it was going to be 70 today.
She lives in Tucson.

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks, Amy. Goin' good so far.

You have a great day, too! :^D
