Thank you, and love that graphic!

I will try to go to bed now and dream of the time that President Reagan was in charge. Oh the good old days.

Cheers

Oh how I MISS Ronnie Reagan! Honest, direct, he LOVED our country, and he was FOR THE PEOPLE!

Have a wonderful week, everybody!!

I’ve been reading lots of posts on FReeRepublic but my major concerns at this point are Jim Robison’s surgical procedure.

The US budget figures from Congress suggest that “ObamaCare” is stuck on stupid!

Having actually read through the multiple pages of Obama-Care, I agree that “STUPID” is an appropriate definition of our president’s and DEM congress support of this bill!!!

Hubble, Zoos, And Singing Children
October 1, 2013

What do the Hubble Space Telescope, a zoo, and singing children have in common? According to the teaching of Psalm 148, we could conclude that they all point to God’s magnificent creation.

The idea that God created our world is often questioned, so perhaps it’s a good time for a reminder of the praise we and all creation should heap on our heavenly Father for His magnificent handiwork.

Hubble can help us with that through its eye-popping pictures of our universe. Every one of those brilliant photos points to stars that focus attention on God’s creative majesty. “Praise Him, all you stars of light!” says verse 3.

A visit to a zoo points us to the great diversity of wildlife God created. We look at verses 7 and 10 and say thank you to God for sea creatures, wild animals, insects, and birds.

And a few minutes of watching little children singing uninhibited praises to God symbolizes the truth that all people of earth should lift their voices in honor of our Creator (vv.11-13).

Stars, animals, and children: “Let them praise the name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted” (v.13). Let’s join in saying thanks for His creation. “Praise the Lord!”

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near;
Join me in glad adoration! —Neander

Creation displays God’s power.

Read: Psalm 148

Praise Him, all you stars of light! —Psalm 148:3

Bible in a Year:
Isaiah 11-13; Ephesians 4

For Our cute October thread and the prayer threads and updates on Jim.
(((HUGS)))

[JustAmy]

I’m hoping that everyone will keep Jim in their prayers.

I haven’t heard anything this morning about a time. I want them to be cautious but I’m hoping this gets taken care of today.

[MEG33]

I hope so, too, Amy..Just posted on the update thread.Prayers for the very best outcome.

How did Jim’s surgery go?

[JustAmy]

Jim’s surgery was postponed due to a rapid heart rate. They are giving him fluids and magnesium. He was dehydrated and his magnesium levels were low.

They kept him overnight and are hoping his heart rate will stabilize so they can take him to surgery today.
