Amy, I couldn’t locate your post again about Rogersville. Here is a link to Rogersville. You can click through that side bar and get information if you like. Think its about half way between here and Knoxville. About 30 to 50 miles, I believe. I’ve been through there but know little about the town.

Me too brother. Hope you’re well.

[JustAmy]

Ooops ..... Billie did the fancy framing.

[jaycee]

I thought it might be yours, Amy. Anyway, I sure did like it!! Hear that, Billie? I was telling Amy how much I liked her fancy framing.....LOL!! And she informed me it was yours.

[JustAmy]

Jaycee, thank you so much for the link. My ancestor’s sister is listed in the history.

Someday I’m going to make it to Tennessee. Drove thru there once but really didn’t see anything except the hiway.

Oh sweet Jaycee!! What a sweet Teddy for Kioki..
He has had a rough day. Yes the vet gave us pain meds. He cannot walk yet. I keep standing him up to keep his other legs strong. Tonight he did put his foot down for a moment.
He yelps so bad when we pick him up.

I feel so bad!! It made me feel like I had done something wrong.

Pray for the next few days. Our handicapped son George, 31, deaf and autistic will be here, and to care for the two of them is going to be full time!!

Such love you and others here show!! What an amazing group!!

Thank you for your prayers. We prayed for Kioki tonight at dinner and then proceeded to have a long discussion with our grandson and daughter about how God cares for even a small sparrow that falls to the ground.

By the way, that is a lovely graphic!!

[pollywog]

Billie, I sure hope he gets through this easily. Right now it’s rough because he doesn’t want to walk. We have to think for him.. “ do you need to go pee”? “ Do you want water”?
sigh...
Not easy...

Thanks for your prayers!

Imagine That!

READ: 2 Peter 1:16-21

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, . . . rightly dividing the Word of truth. —2 Timothy 2:15

My friends and I were anticipating a contemplative time looking at a collection of artwork about the prodigal son who returned home to a forgiving father (Luke 15). When we arrived at the information table, we noticed the brochures, books, and a sign pointing to the artwork.

Also on the table was a dinner plate with bread, a napkin, and a glass. Each of us privately pondered what the significance of the plate could be. We wondered if it represented communion fellowship between the prodigal son and his father when he returned home. But as we examined it more closely, we realized simultaneously: Someone had left a dirty plate on the display table. And it wasn’t bread, but leftover cookie bars! Our imaginations had been wrong.

We had a good laugh, but then it made me think about how sometimes we imagine more than what’s really there while reading the Bible. Rather than assuming that our speculation is correct, however, we need to be sure our interpretation fits with the whole of Scripture. Peter said that “no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation” (2 Peter 1:20). As we depend on the Spirit’s instruction, a careful study of the context, and the wisdom of respected Bible teachers, we’ll avoid seeing things in the Word that aren’t really there.

We must correctly hear God’s Word,
Or we will be misled;
We must give careful thought and prayer
To what the Author said. —Hess

A text out of context is often a dangerous pretext.

Bible in One Year: Numbers 12-14; Mark 5:21-43

Good Morning Mayor! So true! We must be diligent when reading God’s Word.

Beautiful opening, Amy and Lori.

We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
Psalm 137:2 - KJV

[JustAmy]

Wishing you a Happy Birthday, Quix.
Hope it's a happy one.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Lori.

Thank you for Today's Beautiful Opening.
Did you have fog this morning?
It wasn't too bad here.
I'm still fighting with my dead external drive. Sighhhh

Wishing you a Lovely Day.

[JustAmy]

Polly, praying for your family. Also praying that Kioki is feeling much better today.

Have a delightful day.

[yorkie]

HAPPY, HAPPY DAY, QUIX!
There's more Birthday cupcakes for you, over on the table.
This one has been 'hand frosted' by a wild animal!

[jaycee]

Just wonderful, Amy and Lori! Thank you~~~~
