"Pin the Fail on the Honkey"

Sounds like someone was eavesdropping on O'Bummer.

I love this, Amy. Thank you so much. I’m a little late getting back but that’s the way it works....LOL! Sometimes I wonder where the day went and if I got anything done or not. Looking at my house, it doesn’t look like I got much done....I do not know how time gets away so fast! Think I’m a little like the bee you posted.....its not doing much, it just looks like it is....LOL!

Hope your Monday was good! (((HUGS)))

AMEN! :-)

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Jaycee.

So glad that you could make it today.

I’m still pretty busy but am going to try to get here more often ..... at least once a week. Hope you had a beautiful day.

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Kitty.
Seems that you always visit after I shut down for the night. :)

I love your goodnight graphics. Thank you for sharing.

Hope you had a delightful Monday.

[JustAmy]

Goodnight, Dear FRiends.

It was great to see you again today.

Thank you to those participating in Open Mic Tuesday on Monday!
Hopefully you will be able to jump in again next week.

Goodnight All.

The Campaign
October 22, 2013

Each year young people in our community participate in a “Be Nice” campaign spearheaded by a mental health organization. In one of the events in 2012, 6,000 students spelled out the words BE NICE with their bodies on their schools’ sports fields. One principal said, “We want students to come to school and learn without the distraction of fear or sadness or uneasiness around their peers. We are working hard to make sure students are lifting each other up, rather than tearing each other down.”

Paul desired that the people in the church at Rome would have an even higher standard of love. Both the strong and weak in the faith were judging and showing contempt for each other (Rom. 14:1-12). They despised one another as they argued about what foods were permissible to eat (vv.2-3) and what holidays they should observe (vv.5-6). Paul challenged them: “Let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another” (v.19). He reminded them that their hearts should be concerned with pleasing others, not pleasing themselves. He said, “Even Christ did not please Himself” (15:3); He served.

Join the campaign that loves others despite our differences—you’ll bring praise to God (v.7).

Dear Lord, I want to be a person who is
kind and loving to others. Please help me
to use words that will build others up
and bring praise and glory to Your name.

Kindness is simply love flowing out in little gentlenesses.

Read: Romans 15:1-7

Let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another. —Romans 14:19

Bible in a Year:
Isaiah 65-66; 1 Timothy 2

[JustAmy]

"pout"

Where ya been????

[JustAmy]

Hello everyone. Happy Tuesday.

Have an appt with the eye doc this afternoon.
Hopefully new glasses will make it easier for me to drive at night.

Have a Terrific Day!

[pollywog]

Hey HEY HEY THERE Amy!!!!
Thanks for the bright sunny happy face.
Have a GREAT DAY..... Fall weather is gorgeous here in Southern California...

[JustAmy]

Hey, Polly! Great to see you!!

I'm starting to wonder when the cooler weather will come. Should be in the middle 80s again today. The nights are cooling off but the days have been unseasonably warm.

How is everything at the Wog household?
Things have finally started to calm down here. Marissa is in the 8th grade ... high school next year. Can't believe it.

Wishing you a delightful Tuesday.

[pollywog]

We are staying in the low 80's here in Los Angeles but the night's are delightful.

The "Wog's" have had a trying year, but I'm beginning to think it is normal for us.

Raising a grandson and shuffling health issues is not what I thought "retirement" would look like. Add to it the political and social upheaval here in our land, and it is a day by day life!

Ha.. a pastor we had said " the problem with life is it's " so daily"!!

Kobe, our grand is in 9th grade this year and back home after 2 years group home. Doing much better but definitely still a challenge some days. Private school and they are SO wonderful in supporting us and him. His grading period were all A's, B's and C's after a somewhat turbulant start!!

papa is having a cancerous spot removed from his face on Friday and we are hoping it is very insignificant and just surface.....

[pollywog]

hmmmmmmmmmmm..... I've been gone FAR TOO LONG! what on earth is " Open mic Tuesday?"...

Thank you to those participating in Open Mic Tuesday on Monday!

[JustAmy]

Marissa struggles with her grades.

I really think she doesn’t put forth the required effort. If the only subjects were art and music she would do great.

I have had no problems since surgery and feel great. Will be praying the your hubby’s cancer is minor.

TTYL ... have a good day.

[JustAmy]

Yesterday's Opening.

I'm hoping to post "Open Mic Tuesday" every Monday.
Hope you will stop by next Monday.

Don't know why it doesn't open at post #357 ... I must have forgotten how to post! :)

That is the Cutest Graphic in your #405, Dear Amy! (((((Thank you!)))))

A Wonderful GratiTuesday to Amy's Place

Thank you so much, Kitty. It is so great to see you here before time for me to head for bed.

I love your “Kitty” goodnights. Thank you for sharing them with us.

On this GratiTuesday, I’m grateful for you and your sweet graphics.

[Kitty Mittens]

I'm So Glad to Hear this!!
