That poor child. My heart goes out to her. Sadly that is the story for most people when there families stick them in homes, no matter the age. Anyone who has ever worked in a nursing home knows that.
I hope that your throat feels better soon.
Hugs for your young friend.
Oh, and for you also.
The city of Laodicea had a water problem. One nearby town had fabulous hot springs and another had cold, clear water. Laodicea, however, was stuck with tepid, mineral-laden water that tasted like sulphur. Not hot. Not cold. Just gross.
Given those facts, the words of Jesus to the Laodicean believers in Revelation 3 must have stung. Jesus rebuked them for being “neither cold nor hot” (v.15). And when He thought of them, He felt like vomiting (v.16)—like the effect of their drinking water.
What was their problem? It was the sin of self-sufficiency. The Laodiceans had become so affluent that they had forgotten how much they needed Jesus (v.17).
When we say we have everything we need, but Jesus isn’t at the top of the list, He is deeply offended. Self-sufficiency distracts us from pursuing the things we really need that only He can give. If you’d rather have cash than character, if your credit cards are maximized and your righteousness is minimized, if you’ve become smart but aren’t wise, then you’ve been shopping in all the wrong places. Jesus offers commodities that are far better (v.18).
He’s knocking at your heart’s door (v.20). Let Him in. He will give you all you really need!
Thank you dixie sass. I ached when I left. I will be going there often and would like to talk to the administrator about doing some volunteer work to connect with all six of these precious young women.So many are abandoned as cast offs!
Good Morning Mayor. Our all sufficient Christ!

Wow, that’s some bird, a green jay....not a native of Wisconsin that’s for sure! If I saw him in my backyard I’d guess he was an escapee from the zoo!
He’s beautiful!
Good Morning Amy and Billie.
Beautiful graphic and a very meaningful poem Amy.
Solitude... something I need to develop!
I am thinking of you today and hoping your dentist visit goes well....and that it goes QUICKLY. Just think how wonderful it will be to have it over with!
Oh, I love Moonlight Sonata! I am not a good traveler, so when we flew to Australia (10 hours!), I took that music with me in my head and listened to it all the way. I had every note memorized. It is so very calming. Now, with my iPod, I could actually take the music with me, but with the economy as it is, I don't think we will be going on any extended plane trips for awhile.
Does your dentist have music and headsets you can use while in the chair?
Very lovely graphic and sweet poem this morning, girls! I kinda feel like that girl looks today. Have an eye appointment....don’t mind that, but would rather be home.
I hope you both have a wonderful day today and I will do my best to see you later. ((((((Billie and Amy))))))
Sounds very wonderful to me, Johnn, even though I just finished breakfast. I will be hungry for lunch around 2 or 3!
Lovely opening today. Thank you!
