HOW TO SPEND THE DASH
I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. he referred to the dates on her tombstone from the beginning....to the end. he noted that first came the date of her birth and spoke of the following date with tears, but he said what mattered the most of all was the dash between those years. for the dash represents all the time that she spent alive on earth...... and now only those who loved her know what that little line is worth. for it matters not, how much we own; the cars...the house...the cash. what matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash. so think about this long and hard are there things you'd like to change? for you never know how much time is left. (you could be at "dash mid-range.") if we could just slow down enough to consider what's true and real, and always try to understand the way other people feel. and be less quick to anger, and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we've never loved before. if we treat each other with respect, and more often wear a smile....... remembering that this special dash might only last a little while.
so, when your eulogy's being read with your life's actions to rehash..... would you be proud of the things they say about how you spent your DASH? To the world you may be one person, But to one person you may be the world!

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!
Amazing Grace (Click)
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 weve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, Weve no less days to sing Gods praise Than when wed first begun.

DEAR LORD, 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 hardship, danger and deprivation in Your service. Let their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghanistan 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. |

Good afternoon, Arrowhead, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
If you are working today, hope all your “guests” are well behaved.
We got some rain yesterday and it may be starting today....just a little is coming down now. I need to get my rain gauge put out on the deck.
As soon as my Mom’s friends are gone I’ll put it out.

YIKES! A snake in the substation brought down the whole power grid. Fried snake!
Glad your power wasn’t down too long.
