Goodnight, sweetheart.
I know it's a bittersweet time for you, but you can be mighty proud of what you've accompished with AP.
The pics of the kids are really great! Looks like a good time was had by all. : )
To: ST.LOUIE1
(((( Bro ))))
Thank you.
Yes ... I'm kinda misty as I breathe a sigh of relief.
I guess you noticed that I didn't go cold turkey. I forced myself to spend less time here yesterday and today. :)
Today was good. I even enjoyed the over-priced pizza.

No Bad News
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
|
The unwillingness to listen to bad news has been blamed for everything from space shuttle disasters to corporate collapses to the spread of terrorism. Lengthy studies aren't needed to determine why this happens. Bad news reveals problems; problems require solutions; solutions cost time, money, and energy we would rather spend celebrating past successes. This isn't new to our century. In the 5th century BC, King Ahasuerus of Persia refused to allow mourners to enter his gates (Esther 4:1-2). One commentator suggests that he preferred to surround himself with people who were awed by his wealth and were eager to attend his lavish parties (1:4). His reluctance to be bothered by bad news nearly resulted in the annihilation of the Jewish people. Contrast the leadership of Ahasuerus with that of Jesus, who said, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). Ahasuerus ruled his kingdom by allowing only happy people to enter his presence. Jesus builds His kingdom by welcoming the burdened and sorrowful into His presence. What's more, Jesus not only invites us to tell Him our bad news, He has the willingness and the power to turn our most troubling circumstances into a celebration of praise. Julie Ackerman Link
I walked life's path with worry, Disturbed and quite unblest, Until I trusted Jesus; Now faith has giv'n me rest. Bosch
The gospel is bad news to those who reject it and good news to those who receive it.

What's this about goodbye? Hey, no one is leaving.
Well, I played tennis, got a haircut... just a few inches. Trying to make it even, it was too long in the back.
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer afternoon.
Speaking of haircuts:
A new hair salon opened up for business right across the street from the old established hair cutters' place. They put up a big bold sign which read:
"WE GIVE SEVEN DOLLAR HAIR CUTS!"
Not to be outdone, the old Master Barber put up his own sign:
"WE FIX SEVEN DOLLAR HAIR CUTS"
To: Syncro
LOL! There are many things I shouldn't do. You make me laugh stick around me more often.

Thanks, Victoria. Hope you had a Wonderful Saturday.
The lady that cuts my hair has a sign that says .... "We repair home made hair cuts."
That was Marissa's first haircut ... to repair the mess she had made of her hair. :)
