"Red"

I’m wearing Red on Friday,
I hope that makes it clear,
The President, and all our troops,
Get my support this year.

I voted for the man, and dream,
Let’s hope he gets his way,
And that’s why I take care to wear,
Some Red upon this day.

Those Bull-headed opponents,
Don’t like all of us “Reds”,
They moan that he was “Chosen!”
By Us! You dunderheads!

When you analyze the voting,
Localities make it clear,
Although some cities have the Blues,
The Red zone’s full of cheer.

So I’ll be wearing Red for sure,
It’s not a Star-Trek plot.
Their Red shirts spelled Security.
I’ll throw in with that lot!

Let’s push a little harder,
The next time that we choose.
I’d like a map that shows Red land,
And oceans for the Blues.

The Lefties are sad cases,
With strangely mixed-up heads.
They thought they stole our gay delight,
But they’ve now lost their “Reds!”

A Congress On Hospitality

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ: Romans 12:6-13

Be kindly affectionate to one another . . . , given to hospitality. —Romans 12:10,13

Let me be the first to summon the church to a National Congress on Hospitality. We could hold it in Minneapolis near the Betty Crocker Kitchens, and perhaps we could borrow the Pillsbury Doughboy as our symbol. After all, there’s some truth to the slogan, “Nothin’ says lovin’ like somethin’ from the oven.”

The biblical word for hospitality means “a love of strangers.” Some-times people who visit our churches feel unwelcome. No one greets them or notices them. Hospitality, however, can break down barriers and build bridges. It can make strangers feel more welcome than just a word in the church bulletin.

For those tempted to shrug off my call for a Congress on Hospitality because they are planning another evangelistic outreach, let me insist that hospitality doesn’t conflict with outreach; it complements it! Inviting someone in for coffee, offering to babysit, taking a meal to a sick mother—all these show that we care. And people listen to someone who cares.

On second thought, I withdraw my call for a National Congress on Hospitality. Instead, let’s invite a few lonely folks to our homes and show them genuine Christian hospitality. —Haddon W. Robinson

The good we do is never lost,
Each kindly act takes root;
And every bit of love we sow
In time will bear its fruit.  —Anon.

Christian hospitality is the bridge between an open heart and an open home.

Bible in One Year: Bible in One Year:   2 Chronicles 17-18; John 13:1-20

Thank you and Good morning Meg!

Beautiful way to start the day. What are the red flowers in the graphic?

Gosh Friday already, time flies.

We will be busy working on our lawn today, laying sod, when we get to the garden I will plant red flowers in honor of our precious troops.

[Darksheare]

Not much going on my way.

[MEG33]

Floribunda roses..It's name had domono it but I can't find it now.

[MEG33]

Sorry..domino..I have "minibara domino" on the link but I put the name in search and came up empty!

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning The Mayor
It's so true. People sometimes need to remember what a difference can be made by a smile or a kind gesture. It can make someone's day. I have driven a good distance to another church, just for this reason.

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning Mama Bear
I just spent 20 minutes looking for a new lady in red. LOL Have a wonderful weekend. I'll wear my red to show Support for Our Troops!

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning :)
I think this is neat. The first rose to bloom in my garden this year, is World War II Memorial rose, just a few days following Memorial day. :)
