Good evenin’ Prof. *Hugs*
As our final project for a high school earth science class, a friend and I built a stream table. With extensive help from my father, we built a long plywood box with a hinge in the middle. Then we lined it with plastic and filled it with sand. At one end we attached a hose. At the other end was a drainage hole. After assembling all of it, we raised one end of the stream table, turned on the water, and watched as it created a path directly to the hole at the other end. The next part of the experiment was to place a rock in the stream and watch how it changed the path of the water.
This project taught me as much about life as it did about science. I learned that I can’t change the direction things are going if I’m on the bank of the river. I have to step into the stream of life and stand there to divert the flow. That’s what Jesus did. The Bible refers to salvation as a rock (2 Sam. 22:47; Ps. 62:2,6-7), and the apostle Paul clarifies that Christ is that Rock (1 Cor. 10:4). God placed Jesus in the stream of history to change its course.
When we remain steadfast in Christ, abounding in the work of the Lord, God uses us to change the course of history through acts of obedience that turn others to Him.
Read: Colossians 1:19-27
Thank you Kathy for this evenings fun! *Hugs*

 You are completely genuine, and you appreciate every person's unique gifts. You love life, and you are quite content. When you smile or laugh, you mean it! Friends consider you to have a good heart, and for you, there is no higher complement. |

So Ben and Warlow are one and the same! I like the fact that there are so many twists and turns in the series. It keeps me on my toes.
The old Perfessor drove 45 miles to Savannah to have a tooth pulled and replaced by an implant. The novocaine wore off, but they gave me some righteous drugs for the pain.
Good evening, Publius, and thank you for Rachmaninov’s The Star Spangled Banner.
If you’re going to play the National Anthem, it’s best to do it with class.
Good evening, Connie....thanks for the tributes to our troops.
Did you have a good Tuesday? Safe commute?
Can you fry an egg on your sidewalk?
| You Are Kind |
 You prefer a quiet, peaceful existence. You don't like noise in your head - or in the world around you. For you, there's no such thing as too much calm. Having time to think is a gift that you treasure. |
Yes!!! I had a feeling that might be the case but when the fangs came out...well I was floored. How can he be fae & vamp?
I missed a bunch as I was cooking & will have to watch on demand this week.

My goodness....bad enough you had to get a tooth pulled but driving 45 miles to do so is insult to injury! lol

Must be the moon cycle. ;-}
All in all it's all good. A little hot on the commute!
Can you fry an egg on your sidewalk?
