Down By The Salley Gardens Sung by The Kings Singers
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 down 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.
A poem by William Butler Yeats

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)

I sure wish I’d had a pair of those today and possibly the next few days. I have felt so rough today. Don’t know whats wrong with me except I hate this weather. I haven’t hit a lick at a snake today, just didn’t feel like it. My house is in a jumble today. Not sure what the temps will be tonight and tomorrow! I haven’t checked the weather news! It will probably affect me the same as today.
How’s the weather in sunny Arizona???

Heart Attitude
February 1, 2013
I love watching the skill and passion of great athletes as they give their all on the field. It shows their love for the game. Conversely, when a long season is winding down and a team is already eliminated from any opportunity for championship or playoff games, sometimes it seems that the players are merely going through the motions. Their lack of passion can be disappointing to fans who have paid to watch a good game.
Passion is a key aspect of our personal lives as well. Our heart attitude toward the Lord is revealed in how we serve Him. The apostle Paul said that our service includes the way we go about our daily work. In Ephesians 6:6-7, we read that we are to approach our work, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men.
For me, the key in that verse is from the heart. I have a heavenly Father who loves me deeply and sacrificed His Son for me. How can I do anything less than give my very best for Him? The passion to live for God that comes from the heart provides our best response to the One who has done so much for us.
Father, every day offers opportunities for me to express
my love for You. May the passion with which I live, work,
serve, and relate to others be a fitting expression of my
gratitude for Your love for me. In Jesus name, amen.
The love of God motivates us to live for God.
Read: Ephesians 6:5-9
