A Lock Of Hair
October 27, 2010

After his return from the moon, Neil Armstrong was often plagued by the media. Seeking greater privacy, he moved his family into a small town. But notoriety was a nuisance even there. Armstrong’s barber found out that people would pay good money to get a lock of his hair. So after giving the space hero several haircuts, he sold the clippings to a buyer for $3,000! Armstrong was shocked at the barber’s opportunism.

The Scriptures tell of another story of disloyalty and a haircut. As a symbol of God’s calling of Samson as a Nazirite, he was never to cut his hair (Judg. 13:5). When the Spirit of God came upon him, he was given super-human strength over his enemies (15:14). Wanting to overpower him, the Philistines hired Delilah, a woman who had a relationship with him, to find out the secret of that strength. He foolishly told her that his power would be gone if his hair were cut. She lulled him to sleep and had him shorn (16:5,19).

Greed can drive us to be disloyal to others and to God, causing us to make sinful choices. Our desire should be to exhibit a heart that is fully committed to love the Lord and others. He shows “Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him” (2 Chron. 16:9).

O Lord, may my heart be loyal to You
In all that I say and all that I do;
When a trusted person is not a true friend,
I know that on You I can always depend. —Hess

Loyalty is the test of true love.

Read: Judges 16:4-17

The Lord . . . [shows] Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. —2 Chronicles 16:9
Bible in a year:
Jeremiah 12-14; 2 Timothy 1

Thank you for this beneficial lesson today, Rus! Appreciate it!

O Lord, may my heart be loyal to You

When a trusted person is not a true friend,
I know that on You I can always depend. —Hess

Autumn Wind

When autumn wind goes running
It does some magic things.
It gives the shadows dancing shoes
It gives the bright leaves wings
When autumn wind goes running

It curls the bonfire's tail of smoke
And shares a little whispered joke
With cornstalks who delight to prattle
It turns a seed pod into a rattle
When autumn wind goes running

~Unknown

Hi, Amy


For All The Cat~People Of Amy's Place


Warm Fuzzy Wednesday





I have a wonderful carefree life, I think you'd agree
With a huge splendid House to satisfy my curiosity
Whose Halls and many Rooms open up wide
Offering countless chances to look and go Outside

Or plunge into shadows in search of a cozy place to hide
Sometimes in the company of a cautiously watching Human chaperone
Though not after the Sun goes down, when that time is all my own
When I'm free to roam around and test new Theories and Equations

Without the onus of constantly worrying Human Oversight and Invasion
While determining just how many leaps it takes to conquer a Window Sill
Or sneak into the the Kitchen cupboards if there's been a noisy spill
Just in case one of my Pet Theories disastrously goes awry
On the rare occasion when evidence is there that I cannot deny

Usually upon my silky fur in places not easily accessed
My Humans get to watch me stretch and contort while I'm being addressed
Though their reading of The Riot Act is often laced with laughs
It's not enough to keep me beyond the reach of noisy Midnight Gaffes

Love these beautiful wolves!! And I will definitely hunt for the wolves sometime today! I always loved doing those hidden puzzles. I think this one will be hard. I’ve seen only 3 so far. I am going to be gone part of this day!
