How Was I To Know?
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Ephesians 4:30
It was high-school concert season, and the music students were preparing for the big Christmas extravaganza. The teacher had clearly communicated every detail to the students and to the parentson two different occasionsand the time for mandatory rehearsal was clearly spelled out.
But on rehearsal day one panicky mother called during practice to see what time her teenager was supposed to show up. Another called to say, Oh, were taking Tommy to Grandmas. Its okay if he misses rehearsal, right? When the teacher reminded the parents that this required practice had already started, she heard, Why didnt somebody tell me? How was I to know?
Just as this teacher was troubled that her clear instructions were ignored, is it possible that God is troubled by our tendency to ignore His clear instructions? In 1 Thessalonians, Paul reminds us that his God-inspired message tells us how to live in order to please God and that those instructions have the authority of the Lord Jesus (4:1-2 niv). The Lord is grieved, Paul explains, when we ignore His teaching and live our own way (Eph. 4:305:2).
Lets make a point to read Gods instructions and then live by themwith no excuses.
Gods Word was given for our good
And we are to obey,
Not choose the parts that we like best,
Then live in our own way. Hess

Oh, wow!!!
Like you probably know, that’s good about the feral cats -— that’s the program some cities use... because they say if the cats are removed (relocated or killed), other cats will just move in. So they neuter them instead and let them stay....
That’s what I keep telling my husband -— we can’t take these to the pound, others will just move in. Well, and of course, not sure they’re really wild, need to talk to some folks.
We met one family at Petsmart last month that has 11 cats and feed a few outside... First ones who beat us :0)
To: Borax Queen
She has lost two elderly cats this past year or she would have 7 indoors.
She can’t bear to risk one being put to sleep...so the pound is out.

The Differences in Dogs and Cats
Author unknown
A dog always loves you, in good times and bad,
He's eager to sit at your side.
The cat is a rascal, a bit of a cad,
He is strictly along for the ride.
Only call out "here puppy", he's there on the run
so eager to please you, he'll stay.
But call out "here kitty", he remains in the sun,
and delights in just staying away.
Puppy drools and he prances, content to be near,
When you pet him, he quivers with joy.
Kitty yawns and ignores you, his name, he won't hear,
though he may deign to play with a toy.
Dogs are needy and loving, unselfish and true,
Cats are selfish, aloof and alone. (by choice)
But you'll love them and pet them, and there may be a few,
Who'll act like your lap is their throne.
In the end, it won't matter, whichever it is,
You have chosen to make it your pet.
You'll just love and care for it,the best that you can
and make sure that it visits the vet.

Thank you for the information, Meg.
I read the article listing some of the victims. I also read the comments and like the posters, I was shocked to see the list included the name of the muslim terrorist.
When will zero admit this was an act of terrorism?
