Meg .... thank you for the beautiful flowers.
You add so much beauty to the threads. Thank you!!
Thank you, Maj. :-)
I hope you had a wonderful Wednesday!
My summer vacation is going okay. I'm still keeping busy by working on my dissertation. But I do get a break from teaching. :-)
Will you get any time away from working on your dissertation? Are you spending the summer with your folks?
How is Winston doing?
I won't get much time away from working on my dissertation. I have to keep plugging away at it to make sure I can finish it in time to graduate next spring. I'm at my parents' house now, but I'm not exactly sure where I'll be next month. I might have to teach a class this summer if one of the other TAs can't teach it.
Winston is doing fine. After I got the larger tank, he stayed in the apartment if I travelled for a couple of days. But I'm going to be here for a couple of weeks, so he had to come with me.
I'm sure he enjoyed the trip. I think you have spoiled him. *grin*
That's okay between Marissa and me, both dogs, the cat and the fish are all spoiled.
LOL! We have to take good care of our pets. :-)
I have to get some sleep. It was good "seeing" you again. Good night!
Sweet dreams, Tulip.
I enjoyed the visit.
You're welcome & I had a wonderful Wednesday!

Take care...Thank you!

He who guards his mouth preserves his life, but he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction. —Proverbs 13:3
Recently I overheard an older woman speaking to a friend about the current obsession with dieting. “These days,” she mused, “I’m more concerned with what comes out of my mouth than what goes into it.” There’s a world of wisdom in those words.
Jesus put it this way: “Those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man” (Matthew 15:18-20).
What we say affects others. “There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword,” says Proverbs 12:18. But what we may overlook is the effect our reckless words have on us. When we gossip, or when we malign others, our words begin to ruin us, for we gratify the evil that is in us and strengthen it until it overthrows us.
On the contrary, when we guard our lips we strike a blow at this malevolence. “The tongue of the wise promotes health,” continues Proverbs 12:18. We protect our souls, for we weaken the very thing that lies in wait to ruin us.
Ask God to “set a guard” over your mouth and “keep watch over the door” of your lips (Psalm 141:3). Let your words promote life, not destruction.
A word from your mouth speaks volumes about your heart.
Bible in One Year: 1 Chronicles 25-27; John 9:1-23
Thanks for our beautiful lesson from God's Word, Mayor!
Hope the rest of y!our week is all good...and that you have a restful weekend....with good weather so you can BBQ for the holiday.
