Fox Trouble

READ: 1 John 1:5-10

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. —1 John 1:8

The British are having trouble with foxes. According to The Wall Street Journal, the sly little fellows have moved into London and are making a general nuisance of themselves. They knock over rubbish cans, swipe shoes left out to dry, destroy gardens, and leave a foul odor. With the city borders being pushed farther into the countryside, the little troublemakers are adapting rather than moving—and many Londoners are frustrated and upset.

When you stop to think about it, little “foxes” can become great aggravations for followers of Christ who are trying to honor Him. What we may consider “little” or “harmless” sins can be our downfall. “Stretching the truth,” for example, is actually lying. And gossip is nothing less than character assassination. The trouble is that those little sins will inevitably grow larger. Before we know it, we’ll need to do some serious repenting and confessing.

If some little foxes have crept into the backyards and gardens of your spiritual life, the time to deal with them is now. With the help of the Holy Spirit, identify them. Admit your guilt, confess these pesky little practices to God, and get rid of them before they ruin the entire landscape of your life.

Today pull up the little weeds,
The sinful thoughts subdue,
Or they will take the reins themselves
And someday master you.  —Anon.

The most deadly sins do not leap upon us, they creep up on us.

Bible in One Year:   Deuteronomy 17-19; Mark 13:1-20

Good Morning, Mayor.. Thank you for Military Monday and our Daily Bread..Speaking of little foxes..I had one drop by the patio and "mark" the birdbath again last week.

I am thanking the Lord for 2.60 inches of much needed rain this morning.

[The Mayor]

Good Morning, Thank you!

[The Mayor]

Thanks and good morning.
Yes it is slow makes me a little crazy.

[The Mayor]

You guys were really dry I understand.
I am being thankful for warmer temperatures and melting snow.

So I guess the little fox is claiming the birdbath his...

[MEG33]

Dry indeed!

Warm, too..I've been making a game of how long I can hold off turning on the A/C..

I am so glad you all are warming up.

[The Mayor]

Me too. Coldest winter in 30 years...

Mornin' Rus.
Gonna be another beautiful, sunshiny day here in the valley.
I'm working on a few more sets of windchimes. Mrsdd took orders for some from her co-workers, plus I'm working on a set to hang out front by the flag. Hand painting it with 3 tubes painted red, three white and all with a blue field on top. Painting stars on the blue field.
When I was doing the layout for the stars, I wasn't sure how many I would have, but it worked out with exactly 50 stars. This set is made from 1 1/2 conduit and weighs about 25 pounds. They've got a bell-like quality sound - Let Freedom Ring!

[The Mayor]

MorninDD... Sounds great, you'll have to post a picture when they're done I'd love to see and hear them.

I have to run out and buy a bunch of Oak for a wainscoating job.
Been feeling lousy for a couple days. Sinuses, headache, congestion and aches and pains all over.

[Aquamarine]

Prayers for your husband and his unit.

I am thanking the Lord for 2.60 inches of much needed rain this morning.

I was looking at the weather radar screen this morning and saw alot of green covering portions of Texas just wasn't sure if it was your portion.
