Thank you Kathy ((()))
Hi everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Hi!
Good evening, onona...glad you enjoyed reading about a hero. ((HUGS))
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...did you and Blue get out today?
Weather holding? Any hiking for Penny?
A couple of brief patches of sun here today, otherwise overcast.
Thank you much, Kathy.I always look forward to reading about heros.Thanks again.
Today was a gorgeous day, and I got a weird notion to ride to the inner city to see if an old friend of my husband’s Bike Shop was still in business.
I did not take the highway, but cruised through the Blue Hills and enjoyed the magnificent scenery and the leaves in full color.
All along the way, though, I was concerned as to how I would inform my Husband’s old friend about the manner of his death. I really was concerned about his reaction. You never know with people.
And so I rode and prayed, through beautiful historic woodlands until I reached the main street in Jamaica Plain where the shop used to be located.
Up and down the street I rode, and couldn’t find the shop. It was gone. In its place were the most gentrified, chi-chi Shoppes sporting Rainbow and “BLM “ Flags. I felt like I was on another planet, and couldn’t wait to get out of there.
I altered my route to go by the house in which I grew up, and it looked shabby, crowded, and in need of paint.
Muttering, “I’m glad I don’t live in the City anymore” I roared through the Blue Hills to get home.
I will stick to the South Shore from now on. The City has gotten too bizarre even for ME!
Upon coming home, I read that our prayers for our President have been answered.
God is Good.
Bible in a Year:
He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
What do you want to be when you grow up? I was often asked that question as a child. And the answers changed like the wind. A doctor. A firefighter. A missionary. A worship leader. A physicistor actually, MacGyver (a favorite TV character)! Now, as a dad of four kids, I think of how difficult it must be for them to be asked that question. There are times when I want to say, I know what youll be great at! Parents can sometimes see more in their children than the children can see in themselves.
This resonates with what Paul saw in the Philippian believersthose he loved and prayed for (Philippians 1:3). He could see the end; he knew what theyd be when all was said and done. The Bible gives us a grand vision of the end of the storyresurrection and the renewal of all things (see 1 Corinthians 15 and Revelation 21). But it also tells us whos writing the story.
Paul, in the opening lines of a letter he wrote from prison, reminded the Philippian church that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6). Jesus started the work and Hell complete it. The word completion is particularly importantthe story doesnt just end, for God leaves nothing unfinished.
Where are you in your story? How can you trust Jesus to take the pen from your hand and to bring your story to completion?
Dear Jesus, Youre in charge of my story. Its not up to me to make it happen. I surrender my life to You. Help me to trust You.

Just watched a great movie on Amazon Prime, “The Last Full Measure”...about the 30 year old fight to secure the MOH for a PJ who jumped into an NVA ambush of Big Red 1 infantry... stayed to treat the wounded after unit medic was badly hit and fought along side troops till he was killed. Saved many lives that day.
Excellent low key acting by a slew name actors...hard to believe this came out of Hollywood. Have Windex standingg by for blurry monitor...
