Had some horses very happy to see me this morning. I had hay for them. They started eating and ignored me. They do not run for the roses they run for the alfalfa.
Star Spangled Banner.
Played by the Nuge, Ted Nugent.
I would make a link if I knew how.
Howdy, PRO.
You were on the ball tonight, not about to let anyone break in line ahead of ya. LOL
Any fun plans for the weekend or is it still too smoky to get out and about?
Howdy, Kathy.
The weekend’s heeeeeeeere! I know you’re beyond ready for it.
Bible in a Year:
Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.
After a recent move, Mabel’s seven-year-old son, Ryan, fussed as he prepared to attend a summer camp at his new school. Mabel encouraged him, assuring him that she understood change was hard. But one morning, Ryan’s out-of-character grumpiness seemed excessive. With compassion, Mabel asked, “What’s bothering you, Son?”
Staring out of the window, Ryan shrugged. “I don’t know, Mom. I just have too many feelings.”
Mabel’s heart ached as she comforted him. Desperate for a way to help him, she shared that the move was hard for her too. She assured Ryan that God would stay close, that He knows everything, even when they couldn’t understand or voice their frustrations. “Let’s set up a visit with your friends before school starts,” she said. They made plans, grateful that God understands even when His children have “too many feelings.”
The writer of Psalm 147 experienced overwhelming emotions throughout his faith journey and recognized the benefits of praising the all-knowing Maker and Sustainer of all, the Healer of physical and emotional wounds (vv. 1–6). He praised God for the ways He provides and “delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love” (v. 11).
When we’re struggling to make sense of our emotions, we don’t have to feel alone or discouraged. We can rest in the unlimited understanding of our unchanging, loving God.
How does knowing God understands your most intimate needs help you trust Him while you process your emotions? What emotions seem most difficult for you to place into God’s mighty and merciful hands?
Sovereign God, thank You for assuring me that You understand and care about my emotional and physical needs.

One early mornin', as I was walkin'
I met a woman, we started talkin'
I took her home, to get a few nips,
But all I had was a mint julep.
One mint julep was the cause of it all.
I don't remember just how it started,
I only know that we should have parted.
I stole a kiss, and then another.
I didn't mean to take it further.
One mint julep was the cause of it all.
The lights were burning low, there in the parlor,
When through the kitchen door, up popped her father.
He said 'I saw you when you kissed my daughter.
Better wed her right now, or face a slaughter!'
I didn't know just what I was doin'
I had to marry or face ruin.
A mint julep, a mint julep,
A mint julep, a mint julep,
One mint julep was…

specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
I'm just staying inside away from the smoke, still not fun to be outside.
Nothing really planned, I'll hang with Robin and the pups this weekend, that's about all.
Any news your way?
A friend of mine owned a small ranch. He said that the only way the horses would come to greet him is if he had some kind of food, and usually apples, in his hand. If he would go out to the corral, whistle to them and if he had nothing in his hand they would ignore him. ;-)
