Howdy, luvie.

Got lucky and did better than I expected to. LOL Some, I knew and others were lucky guesses.

[luvie]

LOL! That’s sort of like what I did to get my answers. I can’t even remember the one I missed.

[radu]

I’ve had a lot of practice guessing lately. A friend emails each day with a quiz from a site she found and some require a LOT of guesswork. LOL But they’re fun and sometimes I do real well. Other times, not so much. :-)

[luvie]

Maybe I need that website. I run out of ideas. I think FoxNews read my mind and started having a page with quizes. I was surprised.

[Summertime4359]

100% For me.

15/15 also here.

I’m just glad they gave us some of the easy ones. Years ago I thought it would be a great idea to study state nicknames for trivia as it would be “easy”. Was I wrong. Some states have a dozen nicknames and the 50 state average is 4 per state.

[radu]

They’re grammar quizzes and all pretty short. They would be all that great for quiz night here. They’re fine for email fun and that’s about it.

Result: You're a genius!

Well, I don’t know if I’d go that far…LOL.

Good evening, Canteeners!

Getting any more of that lovely wet stuff, luvie? We got close to an inch and a half Monday.

[radu]

Howdy, Allegra.

Take the accolades where you can get ‘em. LOL

Sounds like you got just the right amount of rain. Enough to do a lot of good and not be flooded like so many others were.

[radu]

I’ll take it. :-)

[luvie]

We haven’t gotten more but the cooler temps are helping what we did get not evaporate. That’s about how much we got on Monday! 2 1/4” in all. WooHoo!

Great score!

[luvie]

W H!!
#50...radu!
Ya GOT it!!

Read: 2 Corinthians 5:6–10

We live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7

The impala, a member of the antelope family, is able to jump up to ten feet high and thirty feet in length. It’s an incredible feat, and no doubt essential to its survival in the African wild. Yet, at many impala enclosures found in zoos, you’ll find that the animals are kept in place by a wall that’s merely three feet tall. How can such a low wall contain these athletic animals? It works because impalas will never jump unless they can see where they’ll land. The wall keeps the impalas inside the enclosure because they can’t see what’s on the other side.

As humans, we’re not all that different. We want to know the outcome of a situation before we move forward. The life of faith, however, rarely works that way. Writing to the church at Corinth, Paul reminded them, “We live by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7).

Jesus taught us to pray, “Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). But that doesn’t mean we’ll know His outcomes beforehand. Living by faith means trusting His good purposes even when those purposes are shrouded in mystery.

In the midst of life’s uncertainties, we can trust His unfailing love. No matter what life throws at us, “we make it our goal to please him” (2 Corinthians 5:9).  — Bill Crowder

In what areas are you struggling to see the next step you should take? Ask God to help you trust Him as you move forward in His grace.

So often, Father, I’m frozen by uncertainty and fear. I pray that You’ll guide my steps as I trust You for Your good will to be done.

[radu]

I paid attention for a change.
Yippee-ki-yo-ki-yay! LOL

[luvie]

Howdy, Rus! ((hugs)) Hope all is well up there. Thanks for our beautiful lesson from God’s Word!

[luvie]

Good feeling, huh! LOL!

[The Mayor]

No, we lost yet again.

[radu]

Just a little bit. :-)

[luvie]

Crud. Will they EVER learn!
