Hello Mayor,
Didn’t realize until I read today’s devotion how much I have missed by not starting my day out right HERE!
God’s grace and forgiveness. How marvelous!

Well there you go! A great reminder, the Daily Bread is here everyday!!

[TheConservativeParty]

My plan to avoid jury duty,,,wear my Free Republic t-shirt,wear an NRA hat even though it will mess my hairdo, tell them Rush Limbaugh is my hero, Ronald Reagan my favorite president, and The Bible is my favorite book. Can also tell them one of the assistant DAs is a friend I met in college.

Or I could be wrong and they’d take me anyway.

[left that other site]

That would work! :-)

[The Mayor]

Freep mail me to be on or off the Daily Bread ping list

Titanic II
October 27, 2012

Mark Wilkinson purchased a 16-foot boat for fishing and recreation. Apparently he was not superstitious, because he christened his boat Titanic II after the ill-fated luxury ship that hit an iceberg and sank in 1912. Titanic II’s maiden voyage out of a harbor in Dorset, England, went well. But when Wilkinson headed back, the boat started taking on water. Soon he was clinging to a rail waiting for rescue. Wilkinson reportedly said, “It’s all a bit embarrassing, and I got pretty fed up with people asking me if I had hit an iceberg.” This was followed by an eyewitness who said, “It wasn’t a very big boat—I think an ice cube could have sunk it!”

The story of Titanic II is quite ironic. But it also makes me think of the original Titanic and the danger of misplaced trust. The builders of that ocean liner were absolutely confident that their ship was unsinkable. But how wrong they were! Jeremiah reminds us: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the Lord” (Jer. 17:5).

All of us are tempted to seek security in people or things. How often we need to be reminded to forsake these false confidences and turn back to God. Are you putting your trust in something other than Him?

When we put our trust in You, Lord,
We’ll be like a tree that’s growing
Beside waters that are flowing,
Bearing fruit and standing strong. —Sper

Those who put their trust in God will never be disappointed.

Read: Jeremiah 17:5-10

Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the Lord. —Jeremiah 17:5

Bible in a Year:
Luke 4-6

[yorkie]

I took her to the groomers on Thursday, and they thought she was a schnauzer/yorkie. Then, I took her to the vet yesterday, and he thought the same thing. She is supposed to be a maltese/yorkie (or Morkie). Don’t know if we’ll ever find out. :)

She weighs 6 1/2 pounds, at four months....and the vet said at full growth, she will be double that! And here I thought I was going to get a tiny little thang! LOL!!

She loves everybody she meets, and greets them with kisses and jet speed tail waggin’!
