Hi there, DD - those little bluejays are so cute! I hope they learn to fly before something ‘gets’ them - like a cat or something!

Blue Chow - what a beautiful dog, Billie! They are beautiful dogs, yorkie - soft, fluffy fur. Ours was darker than that - almost a charcoal color.

They're kinda scary-looking really. A friend of mine is taking a nature class and I caught one for her not long ago, because one of her assignments was to take a DNA sample from a horned toad - dead or alive. (It was alive and well, and we released it back into the wild, just like lions 'n stuff. LOL

You make such pretty collages, Dolly. Who cares if it’s not blue - it’s June, and June is for Brides. :)

Those drinks are quite pretty, but don’t they look like Gatorade - not sure which flavor, but I’ve seen that color blue in the aisle with the sport drinks. (I’m pretty sure *yours* isn’t a sport drink! But I’d be a good sport and drink it if offered! LOL)

It does look like Gatorade; I wonder if the blue margaritas taste different than the green ones? I think I will order one ... just as a test, you know.

You know - Tequila mixes well with just about anything - especially, if it is blended with ice and served with a salty rim.
So, let’s fix one (with Gatorade) and call it Mar-Gator’Rita! We could start a TREND! Bartenders all over the country will be searching for the measurements!

The Lord Of Our Years
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. Psalm 90:2
When the
Concise Oxford English Dictionary announced in 2006 that the word
time was the most-often used noun in the English language, it didnt seem surprising. We live in a world where people are obsessed with using days, saving minutes, and trying to find more hours in the day. Although each of us has all the time that there is, few of us think we have enough.
Perhaps thats why Psalm 90 is such a treasured passage. It shifts the focus from our time-bound lives to our eternal God. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God (v.2).
A stanza in Matthew Bridges well-known hymn Crown Him With Many Crowns begins: Crown Him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time. A potentate is a sovereign, a monarch, an anointed majestyone who does not seek appointment or run for election.
God created time. He rules and transcends it. When we feel frustrated by the calendar or captured by the clock, a quiet reading of Psalm 90 reminds us that our days and years are in the hands of our eternal God.
As we humbly bow before Him, we see time from a new perspective.
Crown Him the Lord of years,
The Potentate of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres,
Ineffably sublime. Bridges
