Graphic by MamaBear
On The Lookout
Ants are so near-sighted, that comets dont mean much,
As harbingers of doom or fate, or just bad luck as such.
Other than the sun or moon, those objects in the sky,
Mean less to ants than it would mean to have a moth come by.
A wing denotes a predator, so ants take note of wings.
The stars and comets soaring overhead are unimportant things.
The ants are little robots, doing things youd not believe,
Making neat the messy places when the other parties leave.
So when youre on your picnic, and youre all prepared to go,
If you see the clean-up crew you can conclude youve been too slow.
Theyve not come by to fight with you, but only for your waste,
So always get your picnics done, and then depart in haste.

Rock-Solid
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry. Psalm 34:15
|
It was a sad day in May 2003 when "The Old Man of the Mountain" broke apart and slid down the mountainside. This 40-foot profile of an old man's face, carved by nature in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, had long been an attraction to tourists, a solid presence for residents, and the official state emblem. It was written about by Nathaniel Hawthorne in his short story The Great Stone Face. Some nearby residents were devastated when The Old Man fell. One woman said, "I grew up thinking that someone was watching over me. I feel a little less watched-over now." There are times when a dependable presence disappears. Something or someone we've relied on is gone, and our life is shaken. Maybe it's the loss of a loved one, or a job, or good health. The loss makes us feel off-balance, unstable. We might even think that God is no longer watching over us. But "the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are open to their cry" (Psalm 34:15). He "is near to those who have a broken heart" (v.18). He is the Rock whose presence we can always depend on (Deuteronomy 32:4). God's presence is real. He continually watches over us. He is rock-solid. Anne Cetas
The Rock of Ages stands secure, He always will be there; He watches over all His own To calm their anxious care. D. De Haan
The question is not where is God, but where isn't He?

Nipping lovingly at the straw to a vanilla milkshake.
Oddly, it kind of reminds me of the Carnation Milk jingle contest back in the 50s
that was won by a dairy farmer from upstate New York, but never used:
"No cows to milk,
No shit to pitch.
Just stick a hole
In the son-of-a-bitch."

Good morning, OESY. Happy Monday.
""No cows to milk,"
:)
You bad.
Hope you are enjoying one of those vanilla milkshakes today. Aren't you glad you won't have to milk or tend that cow?

Good morning, DD. Thank you.
I used that pledge a couple of days ago. I used it again because I'm having trouble using my images that are stored on Fotki.
Have a marvelous Monday.
