Relaxation Feels Like Home to You

You believe that your home should be your sanctuary. Life is stressful enough in the outside world.
You take it easy when you're at home. It's the place where you feel like you can truly be yourself.

You are the type of person who has deep hobbies and interests. You treasure your alone time.
You could spend all day at home if you had to. You always can find plenty to do around the house.

What Feels Like Home to You?

Good evening, Brat...wherever Mom is, there is home. Good for you!

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks very much, Kathy!

*HUGS*

Thanks very much for tonight's thread!

A long and arduous day at the office today. We're near another deadline and they've opened up the hours again. The associates directing us on this project are a bunch of incompetent boobs. Our project manager has been in our faces nonstop the last several days - they keep giving him shifting priorities - It's comical - we had a word for this kind of exercise in the military - I'm sure you've heard it.

Got home tonight at about 7:30 - went with Mrs. Mac Nessa to the pool and we got in a 20 minute pool walk together. Now mellowing out with a couple of Wisconsin micro-brew ales my daughter bought back to us. Life is good!

Good evening to you, AZ...*HUGS*...busy, but productive day. Homework shouldn’t be too bad.

Did you have a safe commute? Any rain lately?

[SkyDancer]

[ConorMacNessa]

Will do, My! As we speak, I'm indulging in a New Glarus Saison Ale - It has as a label a map of Wisconsin with a thumbprint on it. It's excellent!

New Glarus is excellent.
Spotted Cow is a farmhouse brew that is excellent.

[Kathy in Alaska]

How cool, Dust...sounds like a neat family reunion where a good time was had by all.

Prayers for your brothers safe journey home.

[mylife]

I see Saison is also a Farmhouse brew but a one off.
I have never had that one.

Winners And Losers
August 8, 2012

As the NFL playoff game ended and the Green Bay Packers celebrated their victory over the Chicago Bears, my daughter Lisa noticed that her little girl, 4-year-old Eliana, was crying. That seemed odd, since neither of Eliana’s parents particularly cared who won the game.

When Lisa asked Eliana why she was crying, she said, “I feel sorry for the Bears. They look so sad.”

Can we learn something from a preschooler about compassion? In a world where winning is so important and losers get rejected, forgotten, and maligned, we need this reminder: People need compassion. When we see others struggling with a loss are we willing to shed tears with them, put our arms around them, and offer to help?

A number of Scripture passages challenge us to treat others with compassion. Philippians 2:1-3 tells us to think of others above ourselves, looking out for their interests—not just ours. First Peter 3:8-12 reminds us that compassion means treating others “as brothers,” and Colossians 3:12-15 says that mercy, kindness, and humility are marks of those God has redeemed.

Look around you. See anyone going through a difficult loss? Go beyond feeling bad for them. Reach out with compassion and God’s love.

Lord, grant me a heart of compassion
So burdened for others’ needs,
That I will show them Your mercy
In attitudes, words, and deeds. —Fitzhugh

One measure of our likeness to Christ is our sensitivity to the suffering of others.

Read: 1 Peter 3:8-12

In lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. —Philippians 2:3

Bible in a Year:
Isaiah 37-39

Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!
