I did read Meg’s posts, but am still spending more time frozen solid, even in my ping file.

Would you please take my name off the ping list?

I think that all of you are wonderful people and the art work is so very beautiful.

LOL, I feel like I have been to a battle, fighting to read one days pings.

You’re so welcome..
I am just SO happy over Palin’s great speech tonight..I just love her! Everyone is trying to post at once..It’s a slow go trying to celebrate..LOL

[yorkie]

Wasn't her speech great? I think she is so many things: bright, intelligent, knowledgable, humorous, serious, humble, stern, to-the-point, direct, kind, gentle, strong, tough, feminine, classy, proud, dignified, motherly, athletic, patriotic, no-nonsense, pro-life, and drop dead georgeous! And, Oh - did I say, "A woman we might all 'dream' to be like?"

[Kitty Mittens]

Oh, Meg, Thank you for your Beautiful Post and your Prayers! Thank you with All my Heart.

Jaycee, your #302 is Lovely.

I'm still on Cloud 9 from Watching Gov. Palin's Speech; what an Incredible Lady, and she will be an Excellent Vice President. (And Hopefully President Someday!)

The BO Campaign Released an Evil Statement Right after Sarah's Speech, Trying to Make Sarah and McCain into President Bush. (The Premise of that Tactic Irritates me; they and the Media have Created a Characature of my President as a Bad Man, and then they Attempt to Tie McCain/Palin to their Fabrication...Grrrrrr!) :(

With Thanksgiving to our Lord for His Grace in Sending Gov. Palin to be our VP Nominee, Goodnight, Dear FRiends.

[Kitty Mittens]

Amen to your Post, Dear Yorkie; I Agree with you 100%!

(((((((Have a Blessed Night)))))))

[MEG33]

That just about covers it! Amen!

[MEG33]

Sweet Dreams, Kitty...Thanking God for this great candidate.

[yorkie]

A Blessed Night to YOU, too,
Sweet Kitty Mittens!

[yorkie]

One major word I forgot, regarding our new VP candidate:

ARTICULATE!

[jaycee]

Thank you, sweet Kitty! Those are memories of summer for some, with summer slipping away and a beautiful autumn easing in. Frmail soon! Sometime today!

I hope things are going better for you and your family!

(((Hugs)))

I and most I have spoken to are absolutely thrilled... The hate radio and blogs are no longer tolerable. I called and volunteered to help at R headquarters after her announcement.

The Sorrow Of Betrayal

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Matthew 27:1-10

I have sinned by betraying innocent blood. —Matthew 27:4

When I was a boy, my dad observed my spendthrift ways and often said that money burned a hole in my pocket. I suppose it’s not unlike the way those 30 pieces of silver burned a hole in Judas’ heart after he had betrayed Jesus for a little cash. Imagine how he must have felt as he watched his friend Jesus, with hands bound, being led to trial. Judas had seen those hands calm the stormy sea and touch the blind and lame. How often those loving hands had touched his own life!

For Judas, the silver was no longer a reward but rather a reminder of what he had done to Jesus. With every step, the clanging coins sounded a dirge of condemnation, until in despair he admitted, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood” (Matt. 27:4).

When we make choices that betray Jesus, eventually our lives become filled with sorrow. Even well-intentioned followers find that their desire to love and serve Him is frequently on a collision course with the lure of cash or other seductions. But the things we have gained at His expense ultimately and inevitably become clanging symbols of sorrow and regret.

The next time you have to make a choice about cash—or anything else—remember the clatter of Judas’ condemning coins, and don’t betray your loving Leader.

Jesus is all the world to me,
And true to Him I’ll be;
O how could I this Friend deny,
When He’s so true to me? —Thompson

When faced with a choice, don’t betray your loving Leader.

Bible in One Year: Isaiah 16–18; Proverbs 23:1-11

Governor Palin WOWED ‘em last night.

I think all GOP headquarters are feeling the effect of the Barracuda. I spent last evening enjoying the convention.

Wow, Double Wow.
