I don’t have any dinner plates - I have salt and pepper, corn holders, casserole dishes, pitcher, creamer, butter dish, etc. I don’t even use them, Polly. Guess I should bring them in and start using them, like Grandma did every day!

[pollywog]

Yes!! Use them! Chances are , “ The Inheriters” will not appreciate them near as much as you , my dear! If they break, they break! LOL

Good Night Amy’s Place. Time to shut my computer down.
I trust Mr.Just is doing better today.
To all a good night’s rest.
See you tomorrow......”Lord will’n and the creek don’t rise”!!

[yorkie]

Nighty-night, Polly. It was so good to “see” you here, today! See you tomorrow! Sweet dreams! ((((HUGS))))

Both Near And Far

August 27, 2010

Everything was quiet in our yard. While I worked at the patio table, our dog, Maggie, lay nearby in the grass. A slight rustling of dry leaves changed everything. Maggie made her move, and suddenly she was circling a tree, where a woodchuck clung tightly to the trunk.

Maggie came when I called, but I couldn’t get her to look at me. Her neck was in a rigidly fixed position. Although she was near me physically, her thoughts and desires were with that woodchuck.

Maggie and the woodchuck remind me of how quickly I become preoccupied with things that take my eyes off Jesus. Old temptations, new responsibilities, or ongoing desires for possessions or pleasure can quickly divert my attention from the One who knows and wants what is best for me.

A similar spiritual condition afflicted the Pharisees (Matt. 15:8-9). They were serving in the temple and instructing others, but their hearts were far from God.

We too can teach and serve at church but be far from God. Even our religious activity becomes meaningless when our focus is not on Jesus. But if we stop being “stiff-necked” (Acts 7:51), the Lord can turn our eyes away from worthless things and revive our hearts.

Some people follow Jesus Christ,
Then obstacles get in their way;
But if they’ll focus on the Lord
They won’t be led astray. —Sper

When Christ is the center of our life, all else comes into proper focus.

Read: Matthew 15:7-20

Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way. —Psalm 119:37

Bible in a year:
Psalms 120-122; 1 Corinthians 9

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Happy Friday, FRiends.

First, Thank you for your prayers for MrJust. He is fine! Saw our family doctor yesterday ... he said no damage but watch where you walk. :)

After spending Wednesday night waking every hour to make sure I woke Mr every two hours, I spend all free time yesterday napping.

I hope to get some pings answered today ... please be patient with me. LOL

Has the current resident of the WH even visited our Heroes at Walter Reed? All I see him doing is using them as photo op props.
