Beautiful post (((LUV))). I'm so happy for you that your son will be coming home from his deployment soon and am so appreciative of his excellent service in the Military.
You tables look great Dutchess!
Thank you, Aqua! I appreciate that. God bless ALL our troops!
Good evening all, it's been another long day and i'm gonna hit the sack.
We had a press conference this morning at the Board of Elections.
We continue to make loud noises up here..
G'Night all..
Make the noises nice and loud and tell them up there what a differece a GOOD man could make!
Good night Rus, I'll bet you're worn out. How is the home project coming along? Bet it is looking awesome!
The pictures of Freepers in service are beautiful. You and The Mayor did a magnificent thread!
"We continue to make loud noises up here.. "
Keep up the good work, Mayor
When we recently moved again, those chairs needed a makeover to match our new decor. So I called an upholsterer and asked, "Shouldn't we just put the new material over the existing fabric?" He responded, "No, you'll ruin the shape of the chair if you just put new material over the old." The work of God in our lives is similar. He's not interested in merely changing our spiritual appearance. Instead, He intends to replace our character with what is called "the new man," made in the image of Christ (Ephesians 4:24). The flesh has a tendency to perform religious activity, but this is not the work of the Holy Spirit. He will completely transform us on the inside. But the process is a partnership (Philippians 2:12-13). As we daily lay aside our old behaviors and replace them with godly ones, the God of grace works in us through the power of the Holy Spirit. God wants to reupholster us. —Dennis Fisher
A great and full salvation; And may the life that others see Display the transformation. —Hess When you receive Christ, God's work in you has just begun.
Why Would Anyone Want To Be Holy? |
The only thing I can take credit for is posting the thread every Monday.
Billie did all the work compiliing all the pics, she started it 3+ years ago..
House is coming along well, drywallers should be done today.
Some roofing left to do on the front and back porches.
Handrails,and railings around all 3 decks.
Today I will finish the basement stairs and hopefully get a big jump on the back deck stairs.
They are going to be 3 sides stairs with handrails coming to a concrete pad.
I have taken pics but untill I get my computer back I can't access my website. All the software I need is in it. I am still on the old box.
We will.
With all the budget cuts the BOE is complaining that they don't have the manpower to deliver voting machines so, we volunteered 3 trucks and the manpower to do it.
Once we were there they had a change of mind, they are now saying that they don't have the people to program all the machines that are out there.
Well Mr BOE, which is it?
If they are gonna raise a stink about something they need to stick to the story.
In the mean time the county legislature is spending money on staff and leaving them (BOE) high and dry. So now we will take this to the county executive and the legislature.
They are so screwed up it is no longer funny and they are a severe detrement to the success of Erie County. I can't beleive we have not made national news yet. The only thing that has been covered nationally is the free toilet paper county hall got from Charmin becausee they couldn't buy it.
Scheesh..
Thanks, Mayor, for the daily lesson in God's Word. When we "put on the new man" we are also given the "full armour of God..the breastplate of righteousness,...the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit--which is the Word of God!
Thanks also for the house project report. Wow--you have done so much in so little time. It's like you are totally building a house around the old house! Whew! It is going to be awesome when it is done--hope the owner is getting excited about what all is being done!

When we moved into our home 5 years ago, we discovered that the former owner had left us six dining room chairs. They were covered with fabric of beautiful African art—tasteful zebra stripes. We appreciated the unexpected gifts and used them frequently when entertaining guests.
