Good idea! Especially if you blister and/or freckle! :)

[luvie]

Not sure where you are, but I hope and pray that you’re well away from the tornadoes blowing through the Norwalk area up there.

[TheConservativeParty]

In southern Wisconsin.

Where is Norwalk?

🙂

[luvie]

I don’t know. LOL! The radar map that was shown didn’t let me see much more than just that general area around where the tornado was.

I’m guessing it was not near you, thank goodness!

[TheConservativeParty]

Since I last posted , we actually did have a tornado pass about 7 miles north of us.😬

We were very lucky. It barely rained here.

The forecast says this is the end of the frequent storms, for a while anyway.

The Irish part of me does that.

The First Nation part of me just turns brown. LOL.

Yikes! I’m glad it missed you! 🌪

Listening Matters

Bible in a Year:

• Psalms 84–86
• Romans 12

I will listen to what God the Lord says.

Psalm 85:8 <“Come at once. We have struck a berg.” Those were the first words Harold Cottam, the wireless operator on the RMS Carpathia, received from the sinking RMS Titanic at 12:25 a.m. on April 15, 1912. The Carpathia would be the first ship to the disaster scene, saving 706 lives.

In the US Senate hearings days later, the Carpathia’s captain Arthur Rostron testified, “The whole thing was absolutely providential. . . . The wireless operator was in his cabin at the time, not on official business at all, but just simply listening as he was undressing. . . . In ten minutes maybe he would have been in bed, and we would not have heard the message.” 

Listening matters—especially listening to God. The writers of Psalm 85, the sons of Korah, urged attentive obedience when they wrote, “I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants—but let them not turn to folly. Surely his salvation is near those who fear him” (vv. 8–9). Their admonition is especially poignant because their ancestor Korah had rebelled against God and had perished in the wilderness (Numbers 16:1–35).

The night the Titanic sank, another ship was much closer, but its wireless operator had gone to bed. Had he heard the distress signal, perhaps more lives would have been saved. When we listen to God by obeying His teaching, He’ll help us navigate even life’s most troubled waters.

Reflect & Pray

In what ways will you stay attentive to God and the Scriptures today? How can doing so help you to help others?

Father, help me to stay close to You in my thoughts, words, and actions. Please use me as Your servant to bring Your hope to others.

Have a good evening!

Here it is 9:00PM and it’s STILL in the high 80’s here.

[TheConservativeParty]

I was surprised our forecasted low temp tonight is 59! Said 81 for a high on Friday. Sounds good to me.😊

Another hot one today.

Heading off to work today. Would rather sleep late.
