We will destroy ourselves from with in...no republic can stand when 51% can vote themselves FREEBIES, while the other 49% are the SLAVES that have to provide those FREEBIES!

I have stopped drinking the gop koolaid, that the lesser of 2 evils is a better choice. Koolaid is koolaid no matter which party spews it.

Uncontrollable Unexpected
June 7, 2012

Life is full of surprises—some of which take life in unwelcome directions. I still remember the shockwave that hit our family several decades ago when my father lost his job through no fault of his own. With a house full of kids to feed, it was a jarring blow. But as certainly as Dad’s job loss was beyond his control and unexpected, he still knew he could trust God for his future.

As Jesus’ followers, we must recognize that there are things in life that are the “uncontrollable unexpected,” as I call them. To help us in those moments, James 4:13-15 offers this wisdom: “Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit’; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. . . . Instead you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.’ ” The people to whom James was writing were making plans while excluding God’s prerogative to direct their lives.

Is it wrong to plan for the future? Of course not. It is unwise, however, to forget that God may allow some “uncontrollable unexpected” events as He sees fit. Ultimately, all that happens is for the best—even when it’s hard to see. We must trust Him and His plans for our future.

I know who holds the future,
And I know who holds my hand;
With God things don’t just happen—
Everything by Him is planned. —A. Smith

We may not know what the future holds, but we can trust the One who holds the future.

Read: James 4:13-17

Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” —James 4:15

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 40-42

TEARS, this is the only place we can be ourselves, on other threads we get attacked for daring to speak the truth. A truth others won't see. Drinking the koolaid of either party is bad for you. Evil is still evil, even if it is a lesser evil.

Hi Meg! I was looking for you on one of the party threads Tuesday night :0) I tried to post you yesterday here, but it was too slow and I gave up. Anyway, yes, PARTY!!!!

I’m really hoping it’s a harbinger for our Tucson Tuesday election (the House of Reps seat we’ve had empty for 1.5 years, taxation without representation since it was a sainted leftist who vacated).

And, of course, praying like everyone else, on hands and knees, that it’s a repeat in November.

[yorkie]

Have a lovely, Thankful Thursday, everyone!

[Borax Queen]

Yorkie!! I was looking for you too! (Then got called away to work.) That is the most beautiful picture, thank you. Have a good Thursday also. I’m working at home today and taking a break to listen to the F&F hearing, plus Holder’s other crimes.

Down By The Salley Gardens
(Click)

Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.

In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.

William Butler Yeats

Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
