Good morning.

Great job.

[bitt]

congrats and thanks for the ping!

[DollyCali]

What is meant by "stay at home" ..??

Well, I will defer to the satirist's answer but mine would be "not leave house.. while keeping shades drawn in paranoid way"!

DollyCali was the "presenter"... Writer33 is the author!

Like your profile page! Years ago I did a lot of sewing (mostly my clothing but some homemaking /crafty things). I did a lot of creative outfits, suits etc & my hubby & I gave each one a James Bond Movie/Book title "name"..I had a classy tie made (coordinated) for him for each one & we did get a lot of complitments along th e way. Corny but going thru your page and the movies, I could envision each one. Wish we had taken pix/documented all.. in the age of digital I would have even though BD (before digital) I was major photo shooter

Hi Bitt..thanks for stopping by. Haven't "seen" you for awhile & I do hope that the New Year is treating you well!

[DollyCali]

Bob I love this one.. mellow & lonely & thought provoking. I will try to " it up w/your pix" for you .. okay? Not sure when, where, I I will post, but will ping you. Thanks for always sharing with us! Need to get Toby out....!!!

[pookie18]

Thanks, Dolly! FYI, at this point, there are 7 finalists with > 200 pts. apiece.

[writer33]

Yeah. Rush Limbaugh is the passion of conservatism.

[writer33]

What is meant by "stay at home" ..??

"Stay at home" is meant as a joke that it is too dangerous out there. Don't leave your home. Lock the doors and don't go outside.

It's an overall satire at how the mainstream media predicts gloom and doom in every news broadcast. Hence, stay at home.

[writer33]

Wow! I did not know that you had done all that stuff. Thank you for your service, and you don't need to be reminded that your letter is what got me over here in a serious manner. Thank you for that.

Thank you for reading and signing up for Free Republic. We need more of you in America.

Don't Bother Me

Read:
Revelation 3:14-22

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. —Revelation 3:20

Bible In One Year: Genesis 27-28; Matthew 8:18-34

As a young man, C. S. Lewis abandoned his childhood faith in God and declared his belief in no religion, saying they were all myths created by man. Years later, after acknowledging Jesus as the Son of God and his Savior, Lewis wrote of that time in his book Surprised By Joy. He said:

"No word in my vocabulary expressed deeper hatred than the word interference. But Christianity placed at the center what then seemed to me a transcendental Interferer. There was no region even in the innermost depth of one's soul which one could surround with a barbed wire fence and guard with a notice 'No Admittance.' And that was what I wanted; some area, however small, of which I could say to all other beings, 'This is my business and mine only.'"

Every person has the right to say to God, "Leave me alone. Don't bother me." But it is the Lord's right to pursue us with His persistent mercy. To the self-satisfied church at Laodicea, the risen Christ said: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me" (Revelation 3:20).

By His grace, the Lord keeps knocking, ready to fill our lives with His love. —David McCasland

What joy and blessings we can know
When Jesus comes to dine!
He brings His riches and His love
And fellowship divine. —Branon

God's love is persistent but never pushy.
