Good morning, Billie. Is it still morning?

I love this little Sugar Cookie Cowboy. Thank you!

I may will be late getting to my pings this morning.
I have several images saved;
I hope I can get a couple of graphics made before I'm noticeably absent. :)

Wishing you a WF Wednesday.

Hi, Amy. I think it's still morning, but I don't see anybody here - did you change the locks or something? :)

What a cute graphic, and I really like the frame you chose for it with the braided leather and light brown crinkled edge.

Glad you like the little Sugar Cookie Cowboy. We could have fun doing kids and cowboys and horses. :)

This morning, going through my pings, there was another prayer request. I don’t usually respond on the forum, to prayer requests, but instead, lift up in prayer, silently, the poster and his or her needs.

But, this morning, the words of this poster touched my heart so deeply, I want to share just a few of them with my friends, here.

Please read both the opening post, and then post #10:

Here is a snippet of what he had to say:

“Another saying I recall from growing up was a famous line from “Love Story” – “Love means never having to say you’re sorry”. What a crock! Love, which is built on trust and respect, absolutely requires that you learn to say “I’m sorry”, and say it in a meaningful way. That does not mean saying “I’m sorry … but …” – that is simply a further attempt to rationalize and excuse yourself. Learning to apologize includes acknowledging your mistakes, recognizing how they affected people, and pledging to try to improve. Trying to rationalize is just one way of selfishly complimenting yourself – patting yourself on the back just builds up your own pride and ego, and distances you from the people around you. So, concentrate on finding and addressing the scritch-spots of the folks around you; stop worrying about your own scritch-spots, trust the folks you love to address them for you. “

And then;

“So, don’t wait for tomorrow to tell the folks around you how you feel. Love takes work, but it gets easier with practice. What I wish for you today to reach out to the ones you love, and express to them what them mean to you.

Well, that’s the mushy rambling part for today. As usual, my wife and I will find something to laugh about, and something in the world to appreciate with joy and wonder. I pray for the same for each and every one of you.

Until we meet on the other side, may God hold each and every one of you in the palms of his hands.”

OccamsRazor, what a beautiful, inspiring post you have presented to us all. May Our Lord surround you and your wife with HIS “Scritches”, each and every moment of your precious days.

LONE RANGER'S CREED I believe that to have a friend, a man must be one; that all men are created equal and that everyone has within himself the power to make this a better world; That God put the firewood there, but that every man must gather and light it himself; In being prepared physically, mentally, and morally to fight when necessary for that which is right; That a man should make the most of what equipment he has; That sooner or later...somewhere...somehow...we must settle with the world and make payment for what we have taken; That all things change, but the truth, and the truth alone lives on forever; I believe in my Creator, my country, my fellow man.

Oh Pooh! Here it is:

Thank you for you comments on my cowkids graphic. I found several cute images to use today. Now I need to get them ready to use. :)

Since I'm still unorganized, I didn't start working on them until this morning. :(

Maybe I should do them all the same and save myself some time. LOL

Wanna spend a week at my place cleaning up and organizing my graphics? :)

LOL at your comment about witnessing Marissa swooning over the Jonas Brothers! Cute!

I'm sure she will be a typical teenage girl. I can hardly wait. /s

This is my first experience with girls and this stuff still surprises me. LOL

[JustAmy]

I enjoyed listening to Clay Aiken’s “When I See You Smile”.

I didn’t show the YouTube to MissPriss; She would probably by swooning over David Archuleta. She likes cute boys! Yep .... she’s a typical female. :)

Happy Wednesday, Mayor.
Thank you for sharing ODB message again today.

Wishing you a Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.

2 Corinthians 6:14 has been in my scripture journal for a long time. It is such an important verse. When many marry, we are so young we do not consider the things that are most important, and often are swept away by earthy love only to know much later that our spirits are vastly different. I advise young people I know to not get married until they are older, until they are fully formed adults with opinions and firm beliefs. Young love feels like the real thing, but often is it just a chemical thing, not based in spirituality, and it fades quickly, causing the high divorce rate and unhappy marriages.

Good Morning Afternoon, Jaycee.

LOL! That is too cute! As for the "U", it's lonely all by itself - LJ gave it some company with H and U yesterday and it was so much happier. :)

See Post #3096
