Hi Kathy, thanks for remembering and honoring our Troops!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...quick tonight!! Work has not gone well today. The company internet or connection or whatever died. Just getting to check printing now. Everyone is beat!

[lightman]

Thank those serving.
Honor those who served.
NEVER forget the fallen!

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Quick? As late as I was, I figured I’d be way down the list. LOL

I wonder what’s going on with the internet up there lately. The Lake Hood cam has driven everyone nuts for almost a week and the techs have said the problem is a connectivity issue. Wonder if it’s spreading.
It HAD to pick today to conk out. *sigh*

When the Whole World Sings

Read: Revelation 5:8–14

They sang a new song, saying . . . with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. Revelation 5:9

A commercial jingle of the 1970s inspired a generation. Created as part of Coca Cola’s “The Real Thing” ad campaign, a British group called The New Seekers eventually sang it as a full-length song that climbed to the top of music charts around the world. But many will never forget the original television version sung by young people on a hilltop outside of Rome. Whimsical as it was, with visions of honeybees and fruit trees, we resonated with a songwriter’s desire to teach the world to sing with the heart and harmony of love.

The apostle John describes something like that idealized dream, only vastly greater. He envisioned a song sung by “every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them” (Revelation 5:13). There’s nothing whimsical about this anthem. Nothing could be more realistic than the price paid by the One to whom this song is sung. Neither could there be anything more foreboding than the visions of war, death, and consequence that His sacrifice of love would have to overcome.

Yet this is what it took for the Lamb of God to bear our sin and defeat death, overcome our fear of death, and teach all heaven and earth to sing—in perfect harmony. — Mart DeHaan

What gives you cause to sing? What happens to your heart and mind when you embrace John’s vision of every created being singing in united praise of the Lamb and His love?

Father in heaven, please help me to sense the wonder of what You’ve done to give me a song that can be sung in joy by everyone and every living creature.

Bible in a year: Psalms 46–48; Acts 28

[Kathy in Alaska]

They told us the origin of the problem was the servers in Denver!

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

Were you able to get your yard mowed yesterday before it got too hot? I read y’all have some blistering weather this week. UGH!!

[radu]

Ah, so this is a company internet issue, not a local one? Or maybe Anchorage gets their service via Denver?

[luvie]

We will NEVER forget them!
They leave their familes
To protect ALL of us!

[luvie]

They would tell you that, huh. LOL!

Glad you got payroll done. You’d have more than internet problems. Y’all would have a riot on your hands. :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...we MUST remember them.

Hope some of your heat has gone away so you aren’t stuck in the AC all the time.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Never, ever, will we forget the fallen.

Good evening, lightman...has some of your garden survived the critters?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Hump day is finally over! The company servers in Denver went down just as we were getting to the check printing stage.

Hope your week is on schedule.

[lightman]

Peppers have survived....totally gave up on the squash section and mowed it off yesterday. Tomatoes are beginning to blossom and there are a few green fruits forming.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Don’t know...I suspect it has at least a little to do with “not all your eggs in one basket”, if Alaska takes a hit...earthquakes, etc.

[PROCON]

Hi radu!

I did mow very early yesterday before it got too hot but I was sweating big time afterwards.

I did a quick visit to the grocery store early today and then laid low in the A/C.

It's triple digits all week, ugh.

'Sup your way?
