That photo is absolutely adorable jaycee!!!
Is this a grandchild?!!
Polly
No Polly, my grandchildren are grown up! I got that and several others in an email and when they stand out I keep them. One of my sweet granddaughters came up to go swimming today. She is in college and works also..both of my girls do. When I say girls, I mean grandchildren. I had two sons and was pleased when my son had two girls! (My son’s lovely wife~~LOL~~) Hope you’re doing okay, Polly!
Hi Dita...I need to eat a bite of supper..don’t know what it’ll be. How be ya? I went to get my hair done today and asked my gal ‘could she do anything with my face?~~LOL~~’
LOL, JC! I always tell my hairdresser (when she asks what I would like), “I don’t care. Just make me look younger, thinner, and prettier!!”
Mine would probably tell me that was “Mission Impossible”! Of course it would be in a joking matter...(I hope) LOL~~
Prayers for the safe return of the doggies. Lord, you know where they are, so please bring them home. Thank you. We pray in the name of our sweet Jesus. Amen
Oh, I’m so happy to know that Doggie is back, even as I was praying for her return. Prayers for Daisy now.

My Husband, Doggie, and I Searched for a Long Time this Evening for the Neighbor's Dog, Daisy, but Found Nothing, and I was Watching Doggie Closely to See if she would Go to Daisy, but she didn't. My Heart Goes Out to her Hurting Owners, and Thank you All for your Prayers for this Situation.
Great poem and graphic at 2482, but this IS the place for great poems, great graphics, great friends. Thanks to all posters.
I have an unmarried friend who prays earnestly for God to lessen or even remove his sexual drive. It causes him constant temptation. As gently as I can, I tell him I doubt that God will answer his prayer the way he wants. More likely, he will learn fidelity the way anyone learns it, by relying on discipline, community, and constant pleas of dependence.
For whatever reason, God has let this broken world endure in its fallen state for a very long time. God seems to value character more than our comfort, often using the very elements that cause us the most discomfort as His tools in fashioning that character. This was true in the life of the apostle Paul, who prayed fruitlessly that his mysterious thorn in the flesh be removed (2 Cor. 12:8).
In my own life, I am trying to remain open to new realities, not blaming God when my expectations go unmet but trusting Him to lead me through failures toward renewal and growth. I am seeking a trust that the Father knows best in how this world is run. I see that the way in which I may want God to act does not achieve the results I might expect.
When God sent His own Sonsinless, full of grace and healingwe killed Him. God Himself allows what He does not prefer, to achieve some greater goal.

The honey glaze creates a deliciously crispy skin. Even if you dont eat the skin, prepare it this way, and the meat underneath remains moist and flavorful.
Glaze:
Place honey and stock in small saucepan and whisk over medium heat for 5 minutes, until smooth.
Bird:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place bird in roasting rack in a roasting pan and season with salt and pepper. Generously brush the glaze all over the chicken and roast for 45 - 60 minutes, or until the juices run clear (if using smaller birds, less time will be needed). Brush on additional glaze every 15 minutes during the roasting. Remove from oven, let rest for 10 minutes, then carve.

Down by the window
there is a tree,
come,
lie down next to me,
feel underneath us the warmth of that primordial cradle, ground,
listen to the feverish choir of cicadas evening sound
dreaming potpourri.
Golden lights, the shape of fruits
will come to our bed, to our pillow of grass,
echoing to our dreams lullaby,
the sound of moon's flute.
Hug me, hold me,
and I will kiss you
with never broken promises
of orange blossom scent
on my lips.
