Howdy, Kathy.
Yes, I finished mowing yesterday and Charlie was here to mow the large areas with the tractor. The whole place is mowed.
The temp wasn’t all that hot today (83) but it was super-muggy. I was out for about an hour late this afternoon spraying RoundUp in some spots and sweat poured off of me the whole time. It felt pretty good at 7:30 when I went out to water the potted plants.
No way I’m going out during the day for the next week. Tomorrow will be at least 10 degrees hotter and it keeps getting hotter from there.
The clouds do look like they’re trying to break up a little over the mountains. Maybe they’ll succeed.
Good evening, ArtDodger, and welcome to the Canteen. Thanks for the Decoration Day song.

Check the comments below the video which are very poignant.
“I had to stop the video because I was crying several times. This is a very moving, well done documentary. Thank you! My great-uncle Luchis died in Holland. He was a railsplitter. “
Thank you for the warm welcome!
You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
But when can we expect Jesus the Son of God to arrive? When He came as a man two thousand years ago and suffered the penalty of our sin, He said that He’d be back—but only the Father knew the precise “day or hour” of His return (Matthew 24:36). What difference might it make in our day-to-day priorities if we did know the moment our Savior is coming back to earth? (John 14:1-3).
Jesus cautioned us to be ready for His return: “the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him” (Matthew 24:44). He reminded us to “keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come” (v. 42).
On the day of Christ’s return, we won’t get an alert on our phone to give us a heads-up. So, through the power of the Spirit working through us, let’s live each day with a perspective of eternity, serving God and taking advantage of every opportunity to share His message of love and hope with others.
Reflect & Pray
How are you motivated by Jesus’ imminent return? What can you expect when He comes again?
Father, as I patiently wait, please help me to obey You, pursue holiness, and to live in expectation of Christ’s return.
This is an excellent documentary on D-Day, produced by
“The American Experience” for PBS in 1994. It chronicles both the military planning and execution as well as the personal stories of the soldiers who fought the battle.
