AIM HIGH!

A college professor prepared a final exam for his students. The test questions were divided into three categories, and the students were instructed to choose questions from only one of the categories. The first category of questions was the hardest and worth fifty points. The second, which was easier, was worth forty points. The third, the simplest, was worth thirty points.

Upon completion of the test, students who had chosen the hardest fifty-point questions were given As. The students who had chosen the forty-point questions received Bs. Those who had settled for the easiest thirty-pointers were given Cs.

Some of the students were frustrated with the grading of their papers and asked the professor what he was looking for. The professor leaned over the podium, smiled, and explained, 'I wasn’t testing your book knowledge. I was testing your aim.'"

Robert Kriegel put it this way: "The key is to have a dream that inspires you to go beyond your limits."

Good afternoon Meg and (((HUGS))). We had a few showers here during the night. Might have been enough in the hill country to bring the lake up a foot or two.

Amazing Grace
by John Newton
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

The Lord’s Prayer – Andrea Bocelli

DEAR GOD, who suffered torment, agony,
and death upon the Cross to free our souls
from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend
our troops. Guide them in the performance of
their duties. Strengthen them to endure hard-
ship, danger and deprivation in Your service. Let
their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghan-
istan from the chains of terror and slavery,
foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all
to a greater share in Your Mercy.
Amen.

Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

THE NAVY HYMN

Eternal Father, Strong to Save

The Marine Corps Verse:

Eternal Father, grant we pray
To all Marines both night and day,
The Courage, Honor, Strength and Skill
Their Land to serve, Thy Law Fulfill.
Be Thou the Shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps!

This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Follow GOD's instructions for success

Jos 1:6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

Jos 1:7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it [to] the right hand or [to] the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

Jos 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Jos 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God [is] with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Prayers on the way for whatever your needs.

No moon last night, alto I tried...very low ceiling and looked like rain, without the rain. *sigh*

[Kathy in Alaska]

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours, Arrowhead.

You and Murfie have a good walk? It’s pretty warm!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome to the Canteen, Rappini....a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

[Kathy in Alaska]

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours, Idaho. Hope all is well with you. How is Fredd doing? Barking?

Thank you for always remembering our troops. ((HUGS))

They said rain and snow showers but none of either.

Shaded areas, and places where the plows pushed snow up into the yard and still slowly melting, but out in the city all the snow is gone. Street sweeping is underway, so a dust haze is everywhere. We are really waiting for rain to clean things up.

[Kathy in Alaska]

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and Barb. ((HUGS))

Furbabies having fun?

[Kathy in Alaska]

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours, Meg.

Beautiful picture and thanks for the prayer for our troops. ((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for Amazing grace! How sweet the sound...I never tire of this song.

How did planting go? Are you feet up enjoying an adult beverage by now?

[MEG33]

(((HUGS)))
I am so happy there was rain for the lake..None here..perhaps tomorrow.

[MEG33]

Thank you, (((Kathy))).

[Kathy in Alaska]

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours, Luv.

Thank you for the hymns.

[ConorMacNessa]

Hi Kathy! We got tied up with other things - no planting today. We did get a set of coat hooks rehung. It had fallen out of the wall because everyone was hanging their backpacks on it. We went to Lowe's and bought some items for the downstairs bathroom, which we are repainting. I am, in fact, enjoying an adult beverage at the moment - Oak Ridge 2009 Lodi Ancient Vine Zinfandel - it's luscious!
