I’ve been missing snow!
I am not a fan of winter, either.
Watching “Ice Road Truckers” the other night, was kind of refreshing.

My Motorcycle was parked in the sun. I got on to rev it up and BURNED my hand on a bit of chrome on the handgrip. I kid you not. I am not making this up. IT IS HOT OUT THERE!

Thanks very much, Luv! I had the same problem - I've planted dozens of them over the years and very few of them survive. They need heavy watering and I have been unable to provide it the last couple of seasons. I guess I'll have to shift to drought-resistant plants soon.

Gardening has become very frustrating! It’s always been rough here, but not THIS bad. Most of my rose bushes have died or are just barely hanging on. :(
Nite, Conor....

Changing Enemies Into Friends
July 26, 2012
During the US Civil War, hatred became entrenched between the North and South. In one instance, President Abraham Lincoln was criticized for speaking of benevolent treatment for the Southern rebels. The critic reminded Lincoln that there was a war going on, the Confederates were the enemy, and they should be destroyed. But Lincoln wisely responded, I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends.
Lincolns comment is insightful. In many ways it reflects Jesus teaching in the Sermon on the Mount: I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven (Matt. 5:44-45).
We will encounter difficult people in our livessome on whom we will need to set limits. But to give in to the temptation to undermine or hurt them in any way is not Gods way. Instead, we should pray for them, show consideration, look out for their best interests, and emphasize the positive. This may result in changing an enemy into a friend.
Not everyone will respond positively to us, but we can pray and plan for a more harmonious relationship. What difficult person can you start befriending?
Lord, some people in my life are difficult to love.
I am tempted not even to try to care. But You showed
love to me even when I was Your enemy. Please direct
me into ways to love with Your power and grace.
Its hard to hate someone when youre doing something good for him.
Read: Matthew 5:43-48
