Hi Lauren, thanks for tonight’s Road Trip!
Howdy and thank you radu!
*HUGS*
Good evening to you PROCON!
Howdy, lauren *HUGZ*
Hope all’s well down your way. I hear it’s going to feel more like summer down that way this week. A bit early for that!
Howdy, PRO.
Starting to feel like your old self again? Colds really suck pond water.
Busy week here, so I am happy that it’s nice outside. Got a big RV Show, the pleasant weather will help our attendance, I hope!
Hope you have a great week!
Bible in a Year :
How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?
The United Kingdom brims with history. Everywhere you go, you see plaques honoring historic figures or commemorating sites where important events occurred. But one such sign exemplifies the droll British sense of humor. On a weathered plaque outside a bed and breakfast in Sandwich, England, a message reads, “On this site, Sept. 5, 1782, nothing happened.”
Sometimes it seems to us that nothing is happening regarding our prayers. We pray and pray, bringing our petitions to our Father with expectation that He’ll respond—right now. The psalmist David expressed such frustration when he prayed, “How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” (Psalm 13:1). We can easily echo those same thoughts: How long, Lord, before you respond?
However, our God is not only perfect in His wisdom but also in His timing. David was able to say, “I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation” (v. 5). Ecclesiastes 3:11 reminds us, “[God] has made everything beautiful in its time.” The word beautiful means “appropriate” or “a source of delight.” God may not always respond to our prayers when we’d like Him to, but He’s always working out His wise purposes. We can take heart that when He does answer, it will be right and good and beautiful. .
Reflect & Pray
When have you prayed for something and felt that perhaps God was ignoring your requests? What lesson might you have learned in that time of waiting?
Loving God, please help me to learn a patience in prayer borne of trust in You.

Sounds like the timing is good since you have the big show coming up. Hope there’s a huge turnout for it!
Good evening and thank you Mayor!
Thanks, unique, for the road trippers!

Hi Ma!
*HUGS*
Thanks bunches!
Replied. :-)
Howdy, Kathy.
Gettin’ a bit blustery up there this afternoon. The big spruce tree close to the Lake Hood cam is dancing in the wind and the cam is wiggling quite a bit. Once in a while, a rain drop hits the cam housing.
Not the prettiest of days.
Good luck this week!
You’re quite welcome!

We’re chatting with Chris Langlois, who is the grandson of Easy Company medic Eugene Roe who you no doubt remember from the book and series Band of Brothers. Chris is bringing the history of WWII to the next generation through a series of illustrated books. Super interesting stuff!
