Oh, Potlatch, I am so sorry about your loss yesterday! It is hard, when we lose someone close to us,

I know the political threads can be an aggitation - but even though many of us may disagree, we still hold each other close in our hearts as FRiends.

I apologize if I have ever cause you any frustration - I need to learn to keep my mouth zipped - because friends are so much more important than political positions one might take. (And, of course, those positions can be changed in a heart-beat!)

((((HUGS)))) ~yorkie

very well expressed potlatch, and I know I can strongly claim the sentiment as mine also

several days into the thread & hundreds of posts & I have yet to stop by and say HI.. HAPPY OCTOBER - to my friends here

Life can get too busy, overwhelming & complicated. I want all to know, I do try to follow your news and events. Love your graphics/pix/stories/personality glimpses.

Lots of big question marks here on the home front. The economy has thrown an unsurmountable challenge into the prospect of selling this home & relocating. Just trusting God.

Pooches, kitties & I are all hanging in. Done some travel this spring & summer thanks to the gifts of friends. Looking forward to some time in OK & Texas at the end of month & into Nov (wlll be at Texas Cowbow Memorial shoot Lord willing) after the shoot with my brother in OKC for a few weeks.

Potlatch, I always enjoy your gifs.. you have fun doing them & we appreciate your sharing them. Hope your life is gentle & happy at this point. We all have our challenges, don’t we?

Location, Location, Locationrel

Buying and selling real estate in the US is tricky business these days. Housing prices have dropped significantly, and if you’re trying to unload commercial property it’s even more difficult. So, in the game of real estate, it remains important to keep this old adage in mind: “The three most important things to know about buying and selling property are location, location, location!”

The same is true of living for Jesus. Knowing our location spiritually is critical if we are to succeed in navigating through the greatly devalued territory of our world. Paul reminds us that we have a new location in Christ, having been delivered “from the power of darkness and conveyed . . . into the kingdom of the Son” (Col. 1:13). Knowing that we have been relocated by His amazing grace into the kingdom of Jesus makes a difference. Jesus now reigns as King in our hearts and minds, and we are His grateful subjects. His will is our will and His ways become patterns for all of life and behavior. And when we are forced to make a choice, our allegiance is to Him.

So, when the temptations and the seductions of the darkness from which you have been removed threaten His reign in your heart, remember your new postal code: Colossians 1:13!

Where Jesus reigns there is no fear,
No restless doubt, no hopeless tear,
No raging sea nor tempest dread,
But quietness and calm instead. —Anon.

The subjects of the kingdom
should display the manners of the court.

Read: Colossians 1:3-14

He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son. —Colossians 1:13

Bible in a year:
Isaiah 23-25; Philippians 1

Another wonderful devotion this morning, Mayor! Thank you as always!

That is just about the SWEETEST graphic, ever, JC!

Have a WONDERFUL Warm and Fuzzy Wednesday!

WE ARE FAMILY! :)

[jaycee]

Thank you, yorkie, and yours could almost be a tie....LOL!
I was looking at the little boy and he has his ball, his teddy, and his dog and a little suitcase. Do you think he’s thinking of going on a trip, as in “running away from home”? He’s a cutie pie.

Graphic by Billie

You can't buy loyalty, they say
I bought it though, the other day

You can't buy friendship, tried and true
Well just the same I bought that too

I made my bid, and on the spot
Bought love and faith and
A whole job lot of happiness

So all in all...
The purchase price was pretty small

I bought a single trusting heart
That gave devotion from the start

If you think these things are not for sale
Buy a brown-eyed puppy with a stump for a tail

[tiapam]

LOL! That’s the key word “almost”! :)

[jaycee]

Sweet, sweet graphic!

Love the poem! I wonder what we would
do if we didn't have critters and darling
children to post!!

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Good poem there!

[tiapam]

WONDERFUL graphic and poem!! How true!! Thank you!

[jaycee]

Thanks, tiapam! Josh's words are really true, aren't they?
Hope your day is a good one, too! I have to
run a couple of errands but will try to get back on later!

[tiapam]

ADORABLE, Yorkie! Is he waiting for a Greyhound bus?? :) Thank you!

How cute, Pam! THAT is ‘one HUGE baby’ (and I’m not talking about the dog.) LOL!

She may be in time out. Or simply being pensive and lonely or sad. Yet her companion is yearning to comfort her.

Touching, and true. God blessed us richly with faithful dogs, wanting to please us.
Do we have the faith of a dog longing to please our King?

We are blessed by cats too, but they are more independent and do not long to please their master.
This is more like the behavior of a majority of humans, isn't it?

Thank thee, Father, for everything in this life teaching us about Thee.

For those with eyes to see and consider.
