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

[Billie]

Blue Chow - what a beautiful dog, Billie!

They are beautiful dogs, yorkie - soft, fluffy fur. Ours was darker than that - almost a charcoal color.

[Billie]

LOL! It’s a very blue eye though!

[Billie]

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

[Billie]

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

[Billie]

LOL at both your poems (#179 & this one!)

[Billie]

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)

[Billie]

Goodnight, Kitty. Thanks for being here - your blue goodnight kitties is so pretty. I’m just about to say goodnight, also.

[Billie]

[Billie]

I bet you get blue teeth if you drink THAT coke!

[JustAmy]

LOL

Thanks, Yorkie.

Hi, hope you had a great day.

[JustAmy]

Eyes in the night ... looks like you are ready for Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.

Hi, LadyJ. Goodnight, LadyJ. :)

Sweet dreams.

[JustAmy]

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.

[yorkie]

[JustAmy]

Sweet dreams. See you tomorrow.

[yorkie]

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!

[Diver Dave]

I’ll drink to that... :)

The Lord Of Our Years

READ: Psalm 90

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 didn’t 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 that’s 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 majesty—one 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

We must have a right view of eternity to know the real value of time.
Bible in One Year: 2 Chronicles 19-20; John 13:21-38
