Kitty, I was watching/listening to your video (with sound real low), and my dog, sleeping at my feet, jumped up and ran to the front door, looking for that dog! :)

Lol, that's Cute, and when I was Watching the Videos myself I was Wondering if Doggie could Hear them Outside, but she didn't Say Anything, so she Probably couldn't Hear them.
Sweet Dreams, Billie. Have a Restful and Peaceful Night, Everyone.

An Audience Of One
[Jesus] made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant. —Philippians 2:7
When I worked as a young journalist for
Campus Life magazine, my assistant kept a plaque on her desk with this two-line poem:
Only one life, ’twill soon be past / Only what’s done for Christ will last.Reading that plaque brought me up short every time. Although I believed its truth, how could I put it into practice? How should my faith in the invisible world affect my day-to-day life in the visible world?
According to Jesus, it’s what God thinks of us that matters, not what others think. Jesus instructed us to pray in a closed room, where no one could see us, rather than in a public place where we might get credit for being spiritual (Matt. 6:6). In other words, live for God and not others.
Do we clamor for attention and achievement? Jesus invites us to let go of that competitive struggle, to trust that God’s opinion of us is the only one that ultimately counts.
How would our lives differ if we truly played to an audience of One? Certainly our sense of ego and rivalry would fade, because we would no longer need to worry about proving ourselves to others. We could concentrate instead on pleasing God by living in a way that would attract people to Jesus.
Teach me, my God and King,
In all things Thee to see,
And what I do in anything,
To do it as for Thee! —Herbert

Good morning everyone
PRAYERS SOLICITED FROM YOU.. my trial is at 2 today
If I am not in jail afterward, I hope to get to Mexican place for a drink (or two or ten).. been very stressful awaiting this thing
Losing is NOT good & would be appalling for something that NEVER happened.
VERY high fine; up to 3 months in jail & they can take dogs or have them put down
Mom's kitty Ginger died last night also. Been quite ill for months & VERY sick & time demanding the past few weeks. He was about 10 & I am pretty sure had kitty AIDS, having cats with it prior.
Here is the gal who is on trial for a capital offense today - Josephine (Josy)

Prayers going up for you and Josy! I haven’t been in the loop, so I don’t know why you guys are on trial in the first place; could you please let us know how things turn out?
