Thank you for posting the Second Ten Commandments. Really what I need.
And thank you again for all you do here.
God bless you.
Good evening, Janey…((HUGS))...Shavua Tov and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
We finally got some good rain. It rained most of the night and til about noon.
One of my coworkers is to be in an outdoor wedding today and I hope it was to start later in the afternoon, as the sun is now trying to come out.
Enjoy just hangin’.
Good evening, frank Ballenger, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
Howdy, Kathy.
Hair freshly cut? Was Dot able to meet you for lunch?
Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.
Hi Everybody!
((((HUGS))))
Good evening, radu, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Did you have a good museum day? Lead some tours? A/C fixed?
We have gotten about .6” of rain. Hoping for more tomorrow.
How about you?
Hey there, Kathy.
Yes, it was a good day at the museum. Not quite as busy as last week - WHEW! - but steadily so. The A/C issue has to wait until a natural gas line is laid. Then they’ll get new units to replace the ancient ones. One still works but the other two are kaput.
Not too bad today weather-wise. It started getting more humid this afternoon so it wasn’t quite as comfy as it was in the morning.
YAY! You got a decent rainfall! I pray you do get more tomorrow.
No rain here until early in the week and the chances aren’t all that great. Just going to be hot and muggy again.
Hair freshly cut, but Dot had a previous engagement.
Sher was headed to the Kenai to go fishing after a couple more appointments and she said it was raining down there.
They are starting to send crews and equipment home. Boy, do they need rest....and the rain to continue.
Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.
It’s a shame Dot wasn’t able to make it today. It’s been a while since y’all lunched together.
I hadn’t checked the radar today. Just did and see quite a bit of rain at the Kenai! AWESOME sight! Don’t you know the fire crews are ready for a break at long last. I hope they get enough rain to put the fires out once and for all.
Bible in a Year : Psalms 46–48; Acts 28
We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end. Hebrews 6:11
Those raised in the English village with William Carey (1761–1834) probably thought he wouldn’t accomplish much, but today he’s known as the father of modern missions. Born to parents who were weavers, he became a not-too-successful teacher and cobbler while teaching himself Greek, Hebrew, and Latin. After many years, he realized his dream of becoming a missionary to India. But he faced hardship, including his child’s death, his wife’s mental-health problems, and for many years the lack of response from those he served.
What kept him serving amid difficulties as he translated the entire Bible into six languages and parts of it into twenty-nine others? “I can plod,” he said. “I can persevere in any definite pursuit.” He committed to serving God no matter what trials he encountered.
This continued devotion to Christ is what the writer to the Hebrews counseled. He called for those reading his letter to not “become lazy” (Hebrews 6:12), but to “show this same diligence to the very end” (v. 11) as they sought to honor God. He reassured them that God “will not forget your work and the love you have shown” (v. 10).
During William Carey’s later years, he reflected on how God consistently supplied his needs. “He has never failed in His promise, so I cannot fail in my service to Him.” May God also empower us to serve Him day by day.
How has God helped you to keep on going in your service for Him? In what way can you help someone else in their struggles?
Lord God, help me to follow You—when I face challenges and enjoy good times. May I know the assurance that You are always with me.
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.
Did you and Blue, with her new seat, get out for a ride?
You and Penny enjoy a good walk?
We finally got a half inch of rain. My lawn was happy, and the creek is really high.
