I’ve totally had to quit watching the news. President Dementia gives me the creeps.
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
You got 10 out of 10 answers correct
Perfect score! You are a genius! Very impressive.
Bible in a Year:
Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge.
Ellen opened her mailbox and discovered a bulky envelope with her dear friend’s return address. Just a few days prior, she’d shared a relational struggle with that friend. Curious, she unwrapped the package and found a colorful beaded necklace on a simple jute string. Attached was a card with a company’s slogan, “Say It in Morse Code,” and words translating the necklace’s hidden and wise message, “Seek God’s Ways.” Ellen smiled as she fastened it around her neck.
The book of Proverbs is a compilation of wise sayings—many penned by Solomon, who was acclaimed as the wisest man of his era (1 Kings 10:23). Its thirty-one chapters call the reader to listen to wisdom and avoid folly, starting with the core message of Proverbs 1:7: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” Wisdom—knowing what to do when—comes from honoring God by seeking His ways. In the introductory verses, we read, “Listen when your father corrects you. Don’t neglect your mother’s instruction. What you learn from them will crown you with grace and be a chain of honor around your neck” (vv. 8–9 nlt).
Ellen’s friend had directed her to the Source of the wisdom she needed: Seek God’s ways. Her gift focused Ellen’s attention on where to discover the help she needed.
When we honor God and seek His ways, we’ll receive the wisdom we need for all the matters we face in life. Each and every one.
Reflect & Pray
Where do you go when you need wisdom? How can you keep God's words in the forefront of your mind?
God, remind me that You’re the Source of the wisdom I need.

Hi Luv. Sez here this week, confirmation of what we both knew: “You are a Genius.”
10/10.
Hey there, Genius!
Great score! Hope you’ve had a good day today. It was really nice here. Never got over about 85 °. About the same for the rest of the week except for 2 at 90°. Not awful.
9/10, I wasn’t listening to the radio in ‘86, so I missed that one.
But of course! LOL! Was there ever a doubt?
Howdy, Rus! (((hugs))) Good to see you tonight. Thanks for our beautiful lesson from God’s Word. We could all use more wisdom...for sure!
You did good thouth!
I dunno about genius. Just lucky it was an easy quiz. LOL
Hey, where’d you get that great weather all of a sudden? Sounds mighty nice!
Hot, hot, hot and steamy here this week. We have some decent shots at rain and could certainly use it. I’m keeping tabs on a big batch coming up through AL and GA now but am almost willing to bet it falls apart before it get here. LOL
Howdy, PRO.
Were they able to repair your A/C today so you could go back home? Any relief in sight from the horrid heat you’ve had out there?
LOL! Not sure where it’s coming from, but I’m not looking THIS gift horse in the mouth. LOL! It’s just so much more pleasant than the 100s we had last month. If it stayed like this for the rest of the summer, I’d be a happy camper!
I hope you get some rain when Elsa rolls across to the East Coast. I know you’re ready for that humidity to go away, though, so maybe you need some dry days to get the humidity down and make it more comfy for you. Even ours is pretty high for what we’re used to.
Yeah, it's hot but typical late June, early July weather.
Just hanging out hoping to return home soon.
'Sup your way?
10/10
I don’t blame ya! That’s a gift horse you definitely don’t want to look in the mouth. Enjoy the heck out of while you can!
The rain we’ll get the next few days will be partly from Elsa and partly from a front to the west. No washouts but showers rolling through. The crops - and everything else - need the rain badly.
Drat! I’d hoped they’d fixed it by now. I know you’d like to get back home but the pups are probably enjoying you being around. LOL
It sounds like the heat backed off a little, at least, if you have typical temps for this time of year. Last week was crazy hot out there.
Not much going here. Between it being steamy and the cotton starting to flower, I’m staying inside as much as possible. Even staying in, my sinuses are thumping.
It’s summer!
Sheer luck. LOL
Good job! 👍🏻
You mean...you don’t want that cotton to die a horrible death? LOL! Fingers crossed for you to get some rain...and for us to get some more. I have really loved it!
