Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.
Are you and Blue enjoying good weather?
At least 20 drops of rain today...maybe real rain by morning. If not, out come the sprinklers for the lawn.

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.
It was really hot today. I ended up taking off my jacket and ridng around in a T-Shirt.
Good evening, lightman, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
And a blessed Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost (Western)/Seventh Sunday after Pentecost (Orthodox).
Nice...so long as you are really watching out for stupid drivers and things in the road.
How’s your drywall doing? Penny holding up from all the activity?
Still waiting on the drywall. meanwhile, in order to expose the walls that need work, I had to move my bed, up against the closet doors, which means i can’t wear any of my nicer clothes for church. This is the second week in a row i have worn the same shirt. I wouldn’t mind, except that I am up on the platform playing music, and want to look nice. Oh Well.
At least it’s freshly laundered.
Penny just sits on her Big KONG Bed and watches the world revolve around her. :-)
Bible in a Year:
Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!
When John Lewis, an American congressman and civil rights leader, died in 2020, people from many political persuasions mourned. In 1965, Lewis marched with Martin Luther King Jr. to secure voting rights for Black citizens. During the march, Lewis suffered a cracked skull, causing scars he carried the rest of his life. “When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair,” Lewis said, “you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something.” He also said, “Never, ever, be afraid to make some noise and get in good, necessary trouble.”
Lewis learned early that doing what was right, to be faithful to the truth, required making “good” trouble. He would need to speak things that were unpopular. The prophet Amos knew this too. Seeing Israel’s sin and injustice, he couldn’t keep quiet. Amos denounced how the powerful were oppressing “the innocent and tak[ing] bribes and depriv[ing] the poor of justice in the courts,” while building “stone mansions” with “lush vineyards” (Amos 5:11–12). Rather than maintaining his own safety and comfort by staying out of the fray, Amos named the evil. The prophet made good, necessary trouble.
But this trouble aimed at something good—justice for all. “Let justice roll on like a river!” Amos exclaimed (v. 24). When we get into good trouble (the kind of righteous, nonviolent trouble justice requires), the goal is always goodness and healing.
Reflect & Pray
Where do you sense the Holy Spirit might be prompting you to make some good trouble? How can you discern the godly way to do just that?
Heavenly Father, if I’m left to myself, I’ll likely play it safe, stay comfortable, keep quiet. But I know that You might ask something different. Help me discern what to do to honor You.
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
THANK YOU
for your service!
But...everyone at church knows what happened, AND it is clean. 🙂
Today is Purple Heart day started in 1782 by George Washington.
Howdy, Kathy.
I hope you had a relaxing day.
I was hoping to see rain on the Lake Hood cam but all I see is gloomy skies. :-(
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 are getting some good rest.
