Travel safely, MB. Don't drive faster than your guardian Angel can fly. ((( MB )))

Nan, I hope you're around this weekend. Read about your little Emma. Hope everyone is doing great!

Hi Kitty. I'm happy to see that you dropped in to the Finest. This is the place I hang out most of my free time, which seems to be less and less lately. These are the greatest people. Billie is our #1 hostess who started this fine place. The other hostesses are Aquamarine, dutchess, Mama_Bear & dansangel. LadyX is my Sistah of the Spirit. We actually met and spent some time together last Summer. We both grew up in the deep South and are the same age, so our memories are the same. I couldn't love her more if she were my own sister. Louie is the resident wolf and general female magnet. Pippin you probably met over at the Dose. She's our sweet Hobbit. There are many more and you will get to know them all for the special people they are.

I hope you enjoyed your trip to the country. God bless.

[WVNan]

Thank you Billie. I am a happy Grammy.

You, O Lord, are a shield for me. —Psalm 3:3

Sharks!

Read: Psalm 3

You, O Lord, are a shield for me. —Psalm 3:3

Bible In One Year: Nehemiah 12-13; Acts 4:23-37

---

The thought of being surrounded by sharks is not pleasant. I've spent enough time fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, I've read enough articles about their razor-sharp teeth, and I've seen enough films of shark attacks to know how dangerous they can be. But I've also been surrounded by sharks and felt perfectly safe.

Sea World in Florida has an underwater exhibit that allows you to be in a tank with thousands of pounds of living sharks. A plexiglass corridor makes it possible for you to pass through an aquarium housing scores of them. Guided tours allow you to enter the world of these predators, to sense their presence and power, and yet to be safely shielded from attack.

David had the experience of being in "deep water" surrounded by predators. But as a man after God's own heart (1 Samuel 13:14), he had learned to let the Lord be his protection. What was his secret? David brought his fears to the Lord (Psalm 3:1). He refused to listen to those who said that God would not help him (v.2). He even learned to go to sleep (v.5), confident that nothing could touch him without the Lord's permission. David found his refuge in God (v.8).

Father, give us that same confidence. Teach us to trust You as our shield and defender. —Mart De Haan

Fear not, I am with thee—O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand. —Keith

Safety is not the absence of danger but the presence of God.

Thank you for the two Daily Bread posts, Your Honor.

Imagine many of us have been wondering if a Weekend Thread per se will be posted, Mama_Bear being on vacation, and we thus are reluctant to post here until we know.

It is the last weekend of Spring - Summer and the Longest Day, lightwise, arrives Monday.

Can someone determine the course for the weekend?

Thank you for your welcome, Pippin! :)

Thanks, Rus...
the title says only "A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....06-18-04....T.G.I.F. at the Finest."

Usually if it is going to run through the weekend, it states the Saturday and Sunday dates, too, so we know!

Will be back soon to post again.

This be the weekend thread!
