Thank you for the update on your Dad, snugs. I hope they find a way to
ease his throat and that all goes well when he comes home.
God bless you, snugs..You are a wonderful daughter.

Amen! Thank you for this beautiful and uplifting poetry,ziravan.
Hope you are having a blessed Lord's Day

[Lady Jag]

Don’t knock it till you try it.

You can’t really inhale the compost pile as deeply as one would a rose but a compost pile under this sping sun is the first outdoor spot to actually smell like spring and if you’re not allergic, it’s pleasant.

Oh that deer greeting the cat & vise versa,pic is great!

Makes it look like the cat isn't the only curious 4-legger.

Good Afternoon, Lady J
Thank you for your holidays and "cool" graphic.
Where did you find all those? I have 4 sources and did not find
one of them! I know we are having bird count here as I heard it
on the news..Think I can count my turkey?
;o)
Wishing you a wonderful Lord's Day

I tried to make a ping-list once, but it sort of got a way from me!

Mail, jaycee. :)

BURGER LOVER’S DAY

Wait ‘til you see what they serve at this place!

The owner dresses like a doctor, and walks around with a stethoscope around his neck, checking people’s heart, the waitresses are ‘dressed’ like hussy nurses, and put an ID tag around your wrist, with your order on it, the french fries are fried in pure lard, with free refills. The ‘Quadruple By-Pass’ has 8,000 calories.

You put the > bracket at the end of the img link and it goes at the end of the align "middle". The width, length,align commands all go in the same brackets as the graphic link. HTML is so unforgiving.

[Mama_Bear]

OMGosh! That is so funny.......and UNBELIEVABLE! 8,000 calories is what I eat in about a WEEK! (Well, that would be a good week....on a bad week, it would be a bit more. LOL)

Amazing Grace

by John Newton

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

If you’re buying the burgers, maybe I could help, by supplying the liquid refreshment to go with them.

Do you see where the ‘error’ was in your first one now? :)

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

---

Dear God, who suffered
torment, agony and death upon the Cross
to free our souls from the chains of iniquity;
protect and defend our troops.
Guide them in the performance of
their Duties.
Strengthen them to endure hardship,
danger, and deprivation in
Your service.
Let their efforts free the people
of Iraq from the chains of terror
and slavery, foster a lasting peace
in the region, and bring all to a
greater share in Your mercy.
Amen.

Good Afternoon, Pippin
I keep a notepad in my documents file just for ping lists..
Sending a thank you to multiple people on a thread is when
disaster strikes..My rememberer gets me in trouble.
Happy Lord's Day
