I was sorry to hear it, too. He was a good man and will be missed. Indeed, prayers of strength and comfort for his family during this incredibly hard time for them. :(

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

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)

So Sorry to hear about Dubya. He always had a joke, a kind word, or an inspirational message. May he rest in the arms of his beloved Savior.

Dorian Gray
July 19, 2012 The Victorian novel The Picture of Dorian Gray illustrates how the person we project to others may be very different from who we are on the inside. After the youthful and handsome Dorian Gray had his portrait painted, he dreaded the prospect of growing old, and he wished the portrait would grow old in his place.

Soon he realized that his wish had been granted. The portrait, which mirrored his troubled soul, aged and became more hideous with each sin Dorian committed, while he himself remained youthful. His outward appearance did not match his corrupted heart.

Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for displaying a similar hypocrisy. Many of them took pride in showing off their spirituality in public. Yet on the inside, they were guilty of many secret sins. Because of this, Jesus compared them to “whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of . . . all uncleanness” (Matt. 23:27).

We are tempted to cultivate a false image for others to see. But God knows our hearts (1 Sam. 16:7; Prov. 15:3). Through confession and prayerfully opening our hearts to God’s Word and the work of the Spirit, we can experience an inner goodness that is reflected in godly actions. Let God transform you from the inside out (2 Cor. 3:17-18).

Father, it’s easy to put up a front and hide
from the public what we are really like. We’re
grateful that we cannot hide from You. You
know us. Please change us inside and out.

Only Christ can transform us.

Read: Matthew 23:23-31

For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of . . . all uncleanness. —Matthew 23:27

I talked to Dubya's son yesterday and learned that Dubya had passed away in June.

OMG, I have been thinking about him so often. Sad News but we know where he is. Love you Dubya, rest easily with Jesus my FRiend.

[The Mayor]

Welcome Home

[Jim Robinson]

I’m so sorry. Prayers up for Dubya’s family and loved ones.

[Diver Dave]

It’s so sad to read about your brother-in-law and Dubya.

Prayers of comfort to you and MrJust as well as Dubya’s family and friends.

[Diver Dave]

Hmmm. Something seems to be amiss with FR’s clock. My previous post was sent at 1:45 pm PDT.

Conor, that is the Most Beautiful Lily!

(((((Thank you!)))))

I'm glad you like it Kitty! I planted those lilies around the turn of the century - they have diminished the last couple of years, but are still producing despite a couple of drought Summers. Casa Blanca is my favorite Lily - pure white and tall - if grown well it dominates the garden in late June, early July. I look forward to its blooming with great anticipation every Summer.

AN IRISH BLESSING

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

It’s Absolutely Breathtaking! Your Roses you Post are Beautiful, too.

It's Absolutely Breathtaking, Conor!
The Roses you Post are Beautiful, too.

[The Mayor]

Well you have your hands full Amy. Attend to business as you have been doing, we will hold down the fort. Summer is always slow here on threads anyway. Life gets in the way sometimes. I am very sad about Dubya.

[Kitty Mittens]

Oops! Sorry about the Double Post, Lol.
I Forgot I'd Already Sent it.

[The Mayor]

We have lost many friends here on FR and I always take time to remember, especially when we don't have a chance to say goodbye. I spent sometime looking at some of Dubs posts, mostly jokes that were good, funny and clean. He mostly posted them to himself so we had to read the thread to catch them. This was his last post.
