Hi Luv! Thank you.
Hi, Rus! My pleasure to honor our troops on my favorite day!
Hope you and your family had a great weekend! Ours was nice...and I was off work, which made it even better!
Thanks for the Military Tribute thread!
We had a nice weekend just busy. Last 2 weeks so the crunch is on.
Oh, it is getting close, isn’t it! How are the stats looking
so far? Or is there any way to see that yet? I hope you
rock your world, Rus! You have worked so hard!
Stats? I don’t have the money for a poll, that’s 10 grand.
The Republican candidate is 9 points ahead of the dem. I think my chances are very good. The toll issue has me on top in many peoples eyes.
Nov 6th is the day. We have a debate on the 30th. So far we have had 2 and I came out on top of those two. This next one will be a better debate and I am really looking forward to it.
Well, I know you’ll do well, because you have the truth on
your side, and the people are very much aware of that now.
All your hard work concerning the toll roads might just
pay off in this go-round!
Thanks, I appreciate your confidence and support!
Off to bed now. G’Night Luv.
Good night, Rus!
Keep us up to speed around here. You have LOTS of supporters...
just wish we were VOTERS there, too! LOL!

READ: Romans 2:17-24
We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 2 Corinthians 4:7
Canadian minister John Gladstone has made a compelling application of a sad episode in the life of Isaac Watts. That famous English hymnwriter fell in love with a beautiful young woman, Elizabeth Singer. She admired his poetry, his mind, and his spirit, but for all her admiration she could not overcome her revulsion at his appearance.
Isaac was short and slight, afflicted with mere slits of gray eyes, a hook nose, and large cheekbones. When he proposed to Elizabeth, she all too hurtfully replied, "Mr. Watts, if only I could say that I admire the casket [jewelry box] as much as I admire the jewel it contains."
Gladstone draws a disturbing analogy between the "jewel" of the gospel and the "casket" of the church. How many people have rejected the good news because of its often sincere yet overly zealous witnesses! Are we unknowingly repulsive and unloving? How can we be "a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness" (Rom. 2:19) if the beauty of Jesus cannot be seen in us?
By every means possible, lets proclaim the gospel. But lets pray that the Holy Spirit will make us personally winsome and loving and free from sin so that we can attract others to Him.
Good morning,Mayor. Thank you for Our Daily Bread and Our Military Tribute thread.
