Thank you, Polly! I use that a lot 'cause its a favorite of mine. I may send you one when I get back...LOL!! Last week I cried at the beauty shop. My car broke down on me and I had to have it towed to the shop.

I had a lot to happen in the weeks before that and I guess that topped it off and I just cried. Crying may not help a thing but sometimes it just comes on anyway! I got the car fixed, it was the alternator.

My son called the shop who had it and suggested he thought it may be the alternator. He didn't want them to think that they could just do anything to my car. He was very nice to the gentleman but it pays to have a man to talk to the shop. At the same time, 2 huge trees had fallen in my yard....sometimes its one thing after another, we all know that! Guess I was at the breaking point!! I'm fine now....the Lord stepped in and brought me through. I will shut up now or I'll be late! LOL!!!

Good morning, NnB.

I have a great idea!! Instead of modifying today’s poem, how about writing me a new Beach poem? :)

I always enjoy rummaging in the archives for the perfect graphic and poem. There are several classics there.

Wishing you a lovely day at the beach.

Happy Thursday, Meg.

That is such a pretty graphic. Thank you for sharing.

I’ve never spent much time at the beach. We have been taking Marissa to Avila Beach every fall. She loves the beach; hubby and junior love the ocean and visiting the local wineries. Me?? I just enjoy getting away for a few days. :)

Wishing you a wonderful day of beautiful memories.

Good morning, Polly. Thank you.

Happy July. Hard to imagine that the year is half over. I’m anxious for November. Praying that I am not disappointed again.

Our temps have cooled down. Thank God. Hope it is not headed your way. The 108 was miserable. Seemed to have hit us without warning.

Have a delightful day.

Thank you, Jaycee.

As you can see, this is an old Opening. Though I never spent time at the beach when I was young, this graphic still reminds me of summer fun.

Wishing you a beautiful day.

Bearing The Name
July 2, 2010

Hans Geiger, Marie Curie, Rudolf Diesel, Samuel Morse, and Louis Braille share something in common. They all invented or discovered something significant that bears their name. Their names, along with many others, appear in the “Encyclopedia Britannica’s Greatest Inventions,” a list of “325 innovations that have had profound effects on human life.”

We who follow Christ bear His name. In Luke’s record of the early church, he said: “The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch” (Acts 11:26). Later, Peter urged the early believers not to be ashamed of suffering as “a Christian” (1 Peter 4:16). The term Christian, once directed at Jesus’ followers in scorn, was embraced by them as a badge of honor, a mark of allegiance to Him.

E. M. Blaiklock, former Chair of Classics at the University of Auckland, wrote that in the first century the term Christian had “a certain appropriateness, for it implied loyalty and acceptance of a person, and that person, the Messiah (Christ). . . . The true modern use of the word follows the same tradition. . . . The Christian is one who accepts, with all its implications, the lordship of Jesus Christ.”

As followers of Christ today, we gladly bear His name as our Savior, Lord, and Friend.

Just what do Christians look like?
What sets their lives apart?
They’re ordinary people
Who love God from the heart. —D. De Haan

Don’t be a Christian in name only.

Read: Acts 11:19-26

The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. —Acts 11:26
Bible in a year:
Job 22–24 & Acts 11
