Good morning Snippy and everyon at the Freeper Foxhole. The rain missed by by a few miles. Parts of Southern Oklahoma and North Texas got some.

You shall have no other gods before Me. —Exodus 20:3

I have an old nature that noisily clamors
To satisfy empty desire;
But God in His goodness has sent me a Helper
Who whispers, 'Your calling is higher.'

Gold can be a helpful servant but a cruel master.
