Thank you Amy. I don’t get out enough.

I’m glad you saw the posted picture, it’s a wake up call for sure!

I used to be here till 1:30am but those days are long gone. Usually I watch a movie in the evening and then go to bed and read for quite awhile.

You have been busy! I have pasture all behind me and my Yorkie always wants to go out there. He smells the deer!
(HUGS)Kitty!

That was quite an alarming “mob” picture. Good grief the good guys were so outnumbered.

Have a good evening....

[potlatch]

That’s lovely Trish!

I drink coffee from morning till night! Got here late today. Hope you had a nice day Amy.

That’s the first time we’ve seen something like that happen here in the USA. A mob of muslims surrounding police and yelling ‘praise allah’. Scary.

You have a good evening too friend.

Hope you had a nice day Meg. I got here late, with not much to say and no pretty graphic! (HUGS)

[JustAmy]

Hey ... We could use some new poems. LOL
That one was an old one. Good to see you.

Hope your day was wonderful.

I’ve been writing a lot. Fiction novels and screenplays. Lot’s of partially completed work. I need to apply for a grant so I don’t have to work and finish all this. Poems have been off my list due to the distraction they present me. I jot down the ideas on poems and write them when I get writer’s block. Hope you have a great day too.

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

A Fresh Start
Sept 30, 2014

Read: Luke 5:17-26

Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. —Luke 5:31

Bible in a Year:
Isaiah 9-10; Ephesians 3

In many countries, health laws prohibit reselling or reusing old mattresses. Only landfills will take them. Tim Keenan tackled the problem and today his business employs a dozen people to extract the individual components of metal, fabric, and foam in old mattresses for recycling. But that’s only part of the story. Journalist Bill Vogrin wrote, “Of all the items Keenan recycles . . . it’s the people that may be his biggest success” (The Gazette, Colorado Springs). Keenan hires men from halfway houses and homeless shelters, giving them a job and a second chance. He says, “We take guys nobody else wants.”

Luke 5:17-26 tells how Jesus healed the body and the soul of a paralyzed man. Following that miraculous event, Levi answered Jesus’ call to follow Him and then invited his fellow tax collectors and friends to a banquet in honor of the Lord (vv.27-29). When some people accused Jesus of associating with undesirables (v.30), He reminded them that healthy people don’t need a doctor—adding, “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance” (v.32).

To everyone who feels like a “throwaway” headed for the landfill of life, Jesus opens His arms of love and offers a fresh beginning. That’s why He came!

The power of God can turn a heart
From evil and the power of sin;
The love of God can change a life
And make it new and cleansed within. —Fasick

Salvation is receiving a new life.

Insight

The religious leaders accused Jesus of blasphemy for claiming divine attributes for Himself (Luke 5:21). Blasphemy is showing contempt or a lack of reverence for God or something sacred (v.20). A violation of the third commandment, it was punishable by death (Lev. 24:15-16).

Amen.

Happy Grati-Tuesday, FRiends.
Looks like I'm going to have another busy day ... I'm starting to expect busy days.
What happened to lazy, take a nap autumn afternoons?
