Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
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)

Hi Everybody!
((((HUGS))))
The Cafe test says I’m Flexible.
DUH.
| You Are Expressive |
 You secretly wish that you could be a more knowledgeable person. There are a dozen things you'd like to get your PhD in. You are realistic about the world. You may have challenges that come your way, but you can overcome them. You are inspired by high energy. Being around other creative, productive people really motivates you. |

Evening, Kathy. Holiday (Simchat Torah) is over, so I can finally say hi.
I enjoy cafes, in spite of their left-wing connotation. Actually, it’s the coffee.
| You Are Flexible |
 You like the original, the local, the tried and true. You get easily annoyed by the world and other people. You wish people would be more responsible and conscientious. You are inspired by high energy. Being around other creative, productive people really motivates you. You love to watch other people work. LOL! |

You secretly wish that you could be a more knowledgeable person. There are a dozen things you'd like to get your PhD in. You are realistic about the world. You may have challenges that come your way, but you can overcome them. You get inspired by stories - both true and fiction. The ups and downs of other people's lives motivate you and interest you. |
During your downtime, you like to find something new to experience and to inspire you.
You secretly wish that you could be a more successful person. Being rich is a dream of yours.
You feel easily overwhelmed and tired by the world. You can only get by if you are patient and take problems one at a time.
You are inspired by a mismatch of things. You never know what is going to get you thinking, and your mind tends to be racing.
Samuel, who was 4, had finished eating his dinner and asked if he could be dismissed from the table. He wanted to go outside to play. But he was too young to be out alone, so his mother said, “No. You can’t go outside by yourself. You need to wait for me to finish and go with you.” His quick reply: “But, Mommy, Jesus is with me!”
Samuel had learned well from his parents that the Lord is always by his side. We see in our Bible reading today that Jacob had learned that lesson too. His father Isaac had blessed him and told him to find a wife from among his mother’s family (Gen. 28:1-4). He followed that directive and traveled toward Haran.
As Jacob slept, the Lord came to him in a dream and said, “I am with you and will keep you wherever you go . . . ; for I will not leave you” (v.15). When he awoke, he knew that he had heard from God, and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place” (v.16). Confident of God’s presence, he committed himself to following Him with his life (vv.20-21).
If we have received Jesus as our Savior (John 1:12), we can be confident and take comfort in the truth that He is always present with us (Heb. 13:5). Like Jacob, may our response to His love be wholehearted devotion.
Read: Genesis 28:10-22

 You secretly wish that you could be a more knowledgeable person. There are a dozen things you'd like to get your PhD in. You feel optimistic about the world, and you feel like you deal with everyday life well. You hardly notice problems. You are inspired by your own thoughts and observations. You don't need much outside influence in order to feel inspired. |
WOW! I actually managed to get into the Canteen
early today. Hope this is a good sign.
Guess I'd better shut up and
get a move on to chat with folks before
someone shows up and wants something.
Going to wait until sun comes out to take my walk.
But, please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops and their families entertained.
The Canteen is
Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

My granddaughter, Megan (13 years old) will be having knee surgery on her right knee this coming Monday to repair the knee cap after she dislocated it during basketball tryouts on 09/13. They will start by scoping the knee, but her surgeon believes it will be necessary to expose the knee in order to make the repair. Additionally, she likely will have to have surgery on the left knee also. She was apparently born with an abnormality of both knee caps, where they are misaligned to the knee joint. This makes her prone to dislocation problems.
Please ping the prayer warriors for Megan. She has endured a lot of pain, and will be facing more. Plus, she's being bullied at school by kids who call her "cripple" and say she's faking her injury to avoid doing things. Kids can be cruel. Thank you in advance, SoldierDad
