Thank you, Dubya. The words to that song sung by Ferlin Husky are very meaningful today, aren’t they?

I hope the rain is coming our way - up here on the high desert. We can use every single drop - before summer comes and bakes everything. (The trees will absorb every particle of moisture they can, and they will store it - and be protected against the Bark Beetle).

((((HUGS))))

By the way, with your pot of gold, I think we should get reservations for some shows. I’d love to see Wayne Newton and Celine Dion also. There may be some suggestions from other folks. How about it???

I don’t know about Wayne Newton, but when I was in Vegas a few years back, I went to Celine’s show - and was not at all impressed. It was not “child friendly” (which didn’t bother me, but surprised me), and there was constant action going on all over the stage during the entire show. It was like a 3 ring circus that has 12 rings - with major shows going on in each ring. My head was spinning by the time the show was over.

Suit Up
March 19, 2011

When I played American football as a kid, one thing that took some getting used to was all the equipment we had to wear. Running effectively in a helmet, shoulder pads, and a variety of other protective items can feel awkward and clumsy at first. But over time the protective gear becomes like a familiar friend that provides welcome protection against serious injury. When a football player suits up, he knows that his equipment is designed to protect him in battle against a dangerous opponent.

As followers of Christ, we also face a dangerous foe—a spiritual enemy who seeks our downfall and destruction. Fortunately, our Lord has provided us with protection, and He challenges us to suit up for spiritual battle.

In Ephesians 6:13, we read, “Take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Paul then describes our armor—helmet, breastplate, shield, sword, belt, and shoes. These pieces of spiritual equipment are effective only if we put them on and use them—even if they might feel uncomfortable at first. Faithfulness in the Word (v.17), in prayer (v.18), and in witness (vv.19-20) are critical to making our armor feel like a part of us. So suit up! The battle is on!

Be not weary, Christian warrior,
Buckle on thine armor tight;
Be ye strong and face the battle
In the power of His might. —Iler

God’s armor is tailor-made for you, but you must put it on.

Read: Ephesians 6:13-21

Take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. —Ephesians 6:13
Bible in a year:
Joshua 1-3; Mark 16

I have an excellent idea!!


While we are on that make-believe
trip to Vegas and we are wearing
our make-believe Red shirts, we
can make believe we are attending
Wayne Newton's Show
and Celine Dion's Show. Hey, I like
circus's, too!! Now let me hear some laughter!
Its been a circus at my house today.
Tell you about it later!

Being conscious of the whole armour of God and having faith ... it is enough for any situation, anywhere, anytime.

When we pray we are to believe (BELIEVE) that we have our prayer answered as we requested. It is God's word.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Matthew 21:21-22 (New King James Version)

21 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done.

22 And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't think Celine Dion performs in Las Vegas anymore!
She had twins awhile back!
How about Terry Fator, the Ventriloquist?
