The Innocent Man
Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? Genesis 18:25
John Grisham is well known for his courtroom novelsfast-paced tales of lawyers and victims, authorities and wrongdoers. However, his book The Innocent Man is not fiction. It is a real-life story of injustice. It tells of the brutal murder of a young woman and the two men who, though innocent, were convicted and sentenced to death for the crime. Only with the advent of DNA testing were they proven innocent and spared from execution after 17 years of suffering wrongly. At long last, justice prevailed.
Everyone desires justice. But we must recognize that our human frailty makes it challenging to mete out true justice. And we can be bent toward revenge, making a casualty out of the pursuit of it.
Its helpful to remember that perfect justice can be found only in God. Abraham described Him with the rhetorical question, Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? (Gen. 18:25). The necessary answer is yes. But even more, His courtroom is the one and only place where we can be certain that justice will prevail.
In a world filled with injustice, we can take the wrongs done to us, submit them to the Judge of all the earth, and trust Him for ultimate justice.
The best of judges on this earth
Arent always right or fair;
But God, the Righteous Judge of all,
Wrongs no one in His care. Egner

Stay!
Stay! they say, and then they go away.
Forever, we suppose. It always seems like that.
Waiting. Well, we know how to wait.
We dont pretend to hate it like the cat.
She always sleeps, and then pretends,
She never really noticed you were gone.
While we sat, and stayed, and waited,
Just for you to come and then be waited on.
And after that interminable century when you return,
I fetch your slippers while my brother,
Who has been a nervous Rex throughout the day,
Having seen Ive done one thing will do another.
We wait, and wait, for just the chance to wait on you,
And tend your every need at end of day,
While cat wakes up and lets you pet her,
And then with studied calm just walks away.

LOL! Well, I think Alabama Possum's funny - thanks for pinging me! I see you got your You Tube embedded as a Drive-In Theatre!
I have a 'whole bunch' of those dolls in jeans and also 'going to lunch' suits & hats if you want to use them - please ping me when you use one, ok? (a credit would be nice - I worked very hard on individualizing all those dolls!) :)
In the first link, most of the dolls will be in the first few comments - not the main opening - so scroll down. :)

Good morning, GeeBee.
I think it was Yorkie that told me that is a Parson Bird.
The only info I had was that the picture was taken in New Zealand.
Hope you are having a Warm Fuzzy, Feathery Wednesday.

Saw this little story posted a couple months back, but, regretably cannot remember who posted it:
There is one way to prove that Dog is Man's Best Friend.
Lock your dog and your wife in the trunk of your car.
Wait one hour, then open the trunk.
Who will be happy to see you?

Undercover Reading
A secret known to all book lovers Is that books are twice-best read, Deep beneath the cozy covers, Snuggled warm inside the bed.
Peek from under, just a look. Hug your pillow close to you, A flashlight and a storybook, A teddy bear to read it to.
Make believe you're in a cave, The bear and you beside a fire,

There's puppy space and there's kitty space
And, there's room for both at Amy's Place
