Bible in a Year : Psalms 135136; 1 Corinthians 12
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8
My wife, Cari, and I recently traveled to Santa Barbara, Californiathe city where we met and fell in love thirty-five years agoto attend our college reunion. We planned to visit several places where we had spent some of the best hours of our youth together. But when we arrived at the location of our favorite Mexican restaurant, we found a building supply store there. A wrought iron plaque hung on the wall commemorating the restaurant and its four decades of service to the community.
I gazed on the barren but still familiar sidewalk, once dotted cheerfully with colorful tables and bright umbrellas. So much had changed around us! Yet in the midst of change, Gods faithfulness never changes. David observed poignantly: The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. But from everlasting to everlasting the Lords love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their childrens children (Psalm 103:1517). David concludes the psalm with these words: Praise the Lord, my soul (v. 22).
The ancient philosopher Heraclitus said, You can never step in the same river twice. Life is always changing around us, but God remains the same and can always be trusted to keep His promises! His faithfulness and love can be counted on from generation to generation.
How is it comforting to know that God never changes? When have you needed that assurance?
Almighty and eternal God, thank You that You never change and can always be trusted. Help me to rely on Your love and faithfulness today.
Hi Everybody!

I found this last night looking for another song. “When He Hit like an Atom Bomb”.
Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Hope you got some rest today.
Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.
Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.
He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.
We have actually had the sun come out this afternoon. Good news because some of the smoke has cleared out. We had just enough sprinkles to wet the street overnight.
Did you and Penny get out today? You and Blue?
Oh yes. I had a lovely ride on the bike, walked several blocks with Penny, worked on a painting, and practiced my instruments.
A Beautiful Day all around!
I am still praying for some real rain to help out with those fires.
God Bless our military men and women who have given their all.
Thanks, unique.

Good evening, mountainlion...and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Now that is a cool song! Good find.
Prayers most appreciated...the fires to the north, that took over 50 homes, are starting to get some containment. The huge fire to the south, over 164,000 acres now, has very little containment, but they are really working hard at keeping it away from the road. We don’t have alternate routes...just one highway going south and one going north.
OMG!! Luv, prayers going out to all of Odessa, and Midland as well. ((HUGS))
Thank you for the update!
I am also asking all our FRiends to pray for those in the path of hurricane Dorian.
I’ve been following the thread and it looks awful for our FRiends in the Southeast.
Thank you, Kathy. it was a very strange day. Pray for all those who were injured or killed by that monster.
