Thank you for the Sweet Post, Dear Jaycee!
We have a Real Big Raccoon that Lives here, that I've only Seen a Few Times, but he is Real Cute.
We even Caught him in an Animal Cage once, when we were Trying to Catch and Relocate a Skunk, Lol.
When we saw that it was the Raccoon, we Opened the Cage and Turned him Loose.

(((((((Have a Beautiful Weekend, Sweet FRiend)))))))

Goodnight to Everyone, and God Bless.

O. B. Markers
July 15, 2011

In the game of golf, out-of-bounds or O. B. markers designate when a ball has gone out of play. If a player’s ball goes out-of-bounds, a one-stroke penalty is imposed.

The prophet Jeremiah warned the southern kingdom of Judah about their persistent rejection of God’s boundaries for them. He said that even the sea knows that the sand on the seashore is its O. B. marker, “an everlasting barrier it cannot cross” (Jer. 5:22 NIV). Yet, the Lord’s people had defiant and rebellious hearts (v.23). There was no fear of God, who gave them rain for their crops (v.24). They grew rich on deceit (v.27) and ignored the pleas of the disadvantaged (v.28).

God has given moral boundaries in His Word for us to live within. He gave them not to frustrate us but so that by keeping within them we may enjoy His blessings. David wrote: “I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are right” (Ps. 119:75). God told Israel through Moses, “I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life” (Deut. 30:19).

Don’t test God’s boundaries and invite His correction. Make wise choices to live within His O. B. markers in His Word.

The Lord has given us commands,
And told us to obey;
Our own designs are sure to fail,
If we neglect His way! —Bosch

A small step of obedience is a giant step to blessing.

Read: Jeremiah 5:21-31

I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are right, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me. —Psalm 119:75

Bible in a year:
Psalms 13-15; Acts 19:21-41

I would love to have that little puppy. He would have a wonderful home with me. I’m sure hundreds of people will take him. What a doll!!!

The link is why I wasn’t about to let a broken shoulder and busted lip get between me and being in the water with a dolphin.

[MEG33]

This is wonderful! Loved it!

[MEG33]

I have walked the beach ..waded almost waist deep with a bunch following my every turn..It was spiritual..I had double pneumonia developing at the time..Dolphins are magical.
Hope you are healing now.(((lonestar)))

[jaycee]

Oh my, that is so sweet I got all teary! I do not blame you for swimming with the dolphins, broken shoulder or not. What a lovely experience, lonestar. I would love to do that! Thanks for that beautiful video! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

[tiapam]

What a great place to be wearing Red to support our troops! Thank you, Meg!

Thank you, Mayor, for the perspective of today's devotional. It is excellent. Many of the people today are our of bounds according to God's Word and yet say/think/ ... so what? I can do anything, Jesus forgives sins ...

The first time I heard this as a philosophy of life it was shocking. Jesus offers salvation, redeeming us to eternal life with him. Yet those that use it as an excuse to do anything they want are definitely out of bounds. We are to do good, love our neighbor as ourself, tell others the gospel of Jesus Christ, and live to please him.

God is not mocked. Read the Bible. Pray for wisdom and understanding. It will set a person straight, if they are indeed, looking for truth.
