I’m really tired of it!

Prayers up for your speedy relief!

[oldteen]

I know peer pressure can be extremely influential on a teen but we can only pray they do the right thing and keep themselves out of dangerous situations that end up, unfortunately, so sadly.

My prayers continue for you and your family for this tragic, unnecessary, loss of a young loved one.

Enjoy Your Weekend

The red of courage
The crimson of blood
Are the colors I wear
To honor the heroes
Who possess the one
And spill the other
For all of us

Hope your birthday was very happy!
Glad your sister could be there.

Cheers for a Happy Birthday!

Thanks very much, Luv! I have been most gratified by the treatment I have received from the Marines of my own generation and from those presently serving. The Corps is truly a Brotherhood, and that Brotherhood includes those of us who served as FMF Corpsmen. For this General to take the time to talk to my 16 year old son and to me was moving, to say the least.

Oh my, so sorry to read of your loss. That is horrible.

(hugs)

[luvie]

It was a wonderful thing that he took the time to talk to you! Marines are ALL brothers! :)

Meg, I just heard a radio segment of Mitt’s entire speech and he sure did well. He delivered the jokes like a pro.
I’ll have to look up the video of it as well.

“brought to you by the letter O and the number 16 trillion”

lol

Yes...we have been enjoying ourselves a lot.

It is SO NICE to have a guest.

Gail, I am so sorry to read this. Prayers going up for your family, right now!

[GailA]

Thanks all, it was all so unnecessary a tragedy, never heard of CAR SURFING and had to look it up, it is all the new rage among teen boys. The gov’t thinks texting is bad, this is even worse.

No one can legislate common sense, it has to be drummed in at a early age, like responsibility.

[GailA]

I just know one of you can do something cute with this one. It is so many of us, me included. Especially before those first 2 cups of REAL coffee. LOL

Watching And Waiting
October 20, 2012

In Isaiah 18, it appears that the whole world is set to battle God’s people. Yet what is the response of the Almighty One? “I will take My rest, and I will look from My dwelling place” (v.4). His stillness may appear to have been an acceptance of the conspiracy against them. But it wasn’t. God’s response was His reminder that He acts in His timing—at just the right time according to His will.

I think of Jesus waiting 4 days while Lazarus lay in the grave (John 11:39). Was He unaware? Did He not care? Of course He cared! He was waiting for the right time to act and to teach the lessons He wanted to teach.

The Bible records God’s “delays,” many of which seem at the time to be inexplicable from our point of view. Yet every delay flows from the depths of His wisdom and love. If nothing else, delay, if we accept it, can produce the quieter virtues—humility, patience, endurance, and persistence—qualities that are often the last to be learned.

Are you in distress? Does the Lord seem distant and detached? He is not indifferent to your plight, nor is He unmoved by your pleas. He is waiting while His purposes are achieved. Then, at the right moment, He will intercede. God is never in a hurry, but He is always on time.

Turn not aside, discouraged one;
Stir up your gift, pursue your goal;
In God’s own time you’ll see Him work;
He’ll give you hope and lift your soul. —D. DeHaan

God is worth waiting for; His time is always best.

Read: Isaiah 18:1-5

The Lord said to me, “I will take My rest, and I will look from My dwelling place.” —Isaiah 18:4

Bible in a Year:
Matthew 26-28
