quick hello.. LONG DAY... 35 mile bike ride w/friend John, Did get some pix of the purple aster & will post evenually.. BUT still have not downloaded & pretty tired at this point

After bike ride, short time at home to clean up, bath, wash hair & leave in half hour of returning home.

The Indian’s won.. whoopie! Wont be as easy for game 3/4 in the Bronx . As ga,e went 11 innings I missed the Hudson game/band show. Bummer. But the playoff game was much better for sure.

Isn’t that funny? St.Louie made it a long time ago. I thought that I could coax him to the thread.

Crushing Responsibilities

Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome. —Nehemiah 4:14

While the outcome of the Second World War was still uncertain, Franklin Roosevelt died and Harry Truman was sworn in as the next president of the United States. The following day, President Truman told reporters, "When they told me yesterday what had happened, I felt like the moon, the stars, and all the planets had fallen on me." Certainly Truman faced crushing responsibilities.

Nehemiah was a great leader who also faced overwhelming burdens. Accompanied by Jewish exiles who had returned from Babylon, Nehemiah was given the task of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. Amid terrible opposition, he refused to be intimidated by the jeers and threats of the enemy. Instead, the man of God organized a dual strategy of construction and military defense—bathing their efforts in prayer: "We made our prayer to our God, and because of them we set a watch against them day and night" (Neh. 4:9). Nehemiah addressed the ongoing threats the workers faced by getting their focus back on God: "Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome" (v.14).

Are you facing crushing responsibilities today? Praying for God’s help and putting together a practical plan can give you strength to complete the task.

Lord, the newness of the day
Calls me to an untried way;
Let me gladly take the road,
Give me strength to bear my load.  —Anon.

God invites us to burden Him with what burdens us.

Early Halloween is their treat for an ailing girl (PLEASE PRAY 7-year-old Trinity Rhyan Bright)

John Bright pushes his daughter, Trinity Bright, during trick-or-treating. Trinity was in costume as a baby holding a big bottle.

Just time to post a few pix.. first the wild asters.. first pix how they are by the river & closer shot & then macro (I LOVE MACROS). Maj this is for you! We have meadows just covered with this plant this time of year. By the rivers & in forest not as much. Anyone is free to use these. I have anohter 280 pix from the day's ride. Big blue heron, turtles, bridge construction (we biked UNDER I-271), and so much more

Next shots on the path I did the 35 miles. The OhioErie Canal is to the left & to the right (out of sight) the Cuyahoga River. This is a pix of a very old sycamore tree.

That trail and all the scenery looks so soothing and beautiful, Dolly. I had no idea that asters grow wild! I hope Purple enjoys them and you don’t mind sharing with all of us...:)

We also have magnificent sycamore trees that are native to SoCal here. I always enjoy finding a huge, spreading sycamore. They are shedding leaves now. Thankfully, I’m not the only tree-hugger around here, either... Shhhhh.....

Good morning, Rus, and Finest FRiends

Lord, the newness of the day
Calls me to an untried way;
Let me gladly take the road,
Give me strength to bear my load.

This quote is meaningful to me today.

yes, I am a big time tree hugger. Because of my diet, interests & activities most people are shocked that I am a conservative.

I tell them conservatives can love & want to protect nature & conservative bike, hike, kayak etc.

geesh!

Here is the bike I was out on Friday. A Klein mountain bike

I think conservative and conservation and nature lover all go together great!! I know others. I didn’t know Teddy Roosevelt (wink), but he was one!! Cool shades too, Dolly...oh my. We are free to be individuals, to be fully who God made us to be....:) Isn’t it great?!

Well, I’m behind schedule... what else is new, must go.
