Well, John knocked it off the charts, as usual. This was good. Now, I have to try to get some sleep. I just get so worked up watching the convention that I can't settle down and go to sleep. See you all in the morning.
John, you never disappoint! Thank you both! This is fantastic!
And what a cute way this was to open the thread, Dutchess! I also laughed when I saw the kerry superman! Always such fun to open up Thurday's Two Cents and see what's in store for us *this* week.
Read: Psalm 42
Why are you cast down, O my soul? . . . Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him. —Psalm 42:11
Bible In One Year: Psalms 137-139; 1 Corinthians 13
When my close friend Sharon was killed in a car accident, my heart broke. I'm ashamed to admit it, but when life's circumstances hurt so much, my faith is often mixed with doubt. When Sharon died, I cried out to God with these questions:
Lord, I sure don't understand You. Why did You allow this death? "Have you not heard? The everlasting God . . . neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable" (Isaiah 40:28). "My thoughts are not Your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways" (Isaiah 55:8).
Lord, You are beyond my understanding. But I still wonder, have You turned Your back on the world? "God sits on His holy throne" (Psalm 47:8) and "rules by His power forever" (66:7).
Lord, I do believe You are ruling this world, but do You care about the pain? Have You forgotten to be good? I am "good and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon [Me]" (Psalm 86:5).
Yes, Lord, You have been good to me in countless ways, including listening to my doubts and questions about You.
The answers God gives us in His Word may not take away our sadness, but we can always rest in the truth that He is wise, sovereign, and good. —Anne Cetas
Hope everyone got to see Zell bring the house down at the RNC Convention last night and then as if that wasn't enough he cleaned Chrissy Matthews clock on Live TV!
Here's is the clip of that if anyone missed it last night. Zell showing Chris how a mule eats corn...lol
The Dem's are self-destructing, having a total melt down and accusing the Republicans of being "unbelievably partisan". LOL!!! Get a grip! It's our convention, we're allowed to be partisan!
Thank you, dutchess, for your wonderful illustrations (love that donkey!) and thank you, Wordmeister John, for your invaluable Two Cents.
(((((((dutchess and JH2))))))))))))
Between John's two cents and Zell's zinger of a speech last night, I am feeling my oats about the RNC today!
***Four more years!***

(((((HUGS))))) to all at the Finest and to my favorite fuzzy person, [[[[[{{{{{(((((Louie_Wolfie_Man)))))}}}}}]]]]]
Praying for all those in Florida. Stay Safe, JH2. Temple Owl, has your son evacuated? My Step-Dad packed up and left early this morning for a safer place. I know you have family in Florida, LadyX...where are they located?
Take Care All

Circling the field after viewing the Convention, and would you believe what I found this week, JuanHernando, right in Madison Square Garden??
I mean, it was volley after volley fired from the right (of course) and the left and the back and the front, but especially from the podium - -
I shall sleep well this night. He did not lie..:))
