Good evening, radu...the heat still horrible?
We had a few, very few, raindrops. Then the sun peeked out and dried them all up.
Howdy, Kathy.
It was hot but not heat advisory hot here. Not sure why they had that up. We’ve had several days that were worse.
Lucky you, getting some raindrops. More than we got around here. A few showers showed up in the general area but all bypassed us.
Now the “cold” front has moved through and any chances we had for rain today are gone. *sigh*
At least your rain, what there was, has cleared the air a bit. It isn’t nearly as hazy as it’s been the past several days.
Howdy, PRO.
Hope the weekend was a good one.
Did you hang out with Robin and the pups this afternoon.
Did the little wild man ever calm down or Is he still wound up like two-dollar watch? LOL
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...any better weather? Blue time?
That's it. Hey, I meant to ask you what crops are planted for you this year?
Staying out of the heat sounds like a good idea. I did the same today. Kept hoping for some rain but didn’t get a drop, and prospects are very good over the next several days.
Dusty planted corn this year and up until three weeks ago, it was absolutely gorgeous. Then the spigot shut off and we’ve had basically no rain since then, and it’s depressing to look out the windows. The corn looks so bad.
Good evening, Mooch...are you ready for the 4th of July?
Any festivities you want to attend? Or stay safely at home and enjoy our nations’s birthday.
I’m staying home.
Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...sitting around a nice fire and enjoying the day?
Bible in a Year :
Speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.
Andrew Card was the Chief of Staff to American president George W. Bush. In an interview regarding his role in the White House he explained, “In each staff member’s office hangs a framed statement of purpose: ‘We serve at the pleasure of the President.’ But that does not mean that we serve to please the President or to win his or her pleasure. Rather, we serve to tell him what he needs to know to do his job.” That job is to govern the United States of America.
In so many of our roles and relationships, we slip into people-pleasing mode rather than building up each other in unity, as the apostle Paul often urged. In Ephesians 4, Paul wrote, “Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith” (vv. 11-13). In verses 15-16, Paul cut through our people-pleasing tendencies, stressing that these gifts should be expressed by “speaking the truth in love” so that “the whole body . . . grows and builds itself up in love.”
As believers in Jesus, we serve people to build them up and to accomplish God’s purposes. Whether or not we please others, we’ll please God as He works through us to create unity in His church.
Reflect & Pray
Who do you serve to please? How might God’s higher presence direct your words?
Dear God, I want to please You by speaking the truth in love to my brothers and sisters.

Hai Kathy! ((Hugs)) rain left, nice evening and studying ... temps will hit mid to upper 80’s mid week.
Good evening, Pro...hope you’ve had a nice relaxing weekend. Ready for the new week and the 4th of July!
Any festivities for you to attend?
Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
Hope you’ve “studied” for your tests....passing with flying colors is the goal.
