Shifty Night Bump for the Freeper Foxhole

((HUGS))Good morning, Snippy and everyone at the Foxhole.
Good morning, it was a beautiful day yesterday here in the Memphis area. I spent the day sick on the couch though. Hopefully today will be better. At least no fever so far this morning.
A frustrated homeowner had a yard full of moles. He tried everything he knew to defeat his underground enemy, but he was losing the battle. Finally a friend informed him that he was trying to solve his problem the wrong way. The moles weren't the true culprits. The real problem was the grubs that the moles were feeding on. Get rid of them and the moles would have no reason to stay. The third chapter of Proverbs gives us a parallel situation. Instead of moles, the problem is fear-the kind of fear that robs us of strength during the day and sleep at night (vv.24-25). What is also evident from this chapter is that we can eliminate our fears only by attacking the "grubs" that attract it. We must go after our self-sufficiency and irreverence (vv.5-8). We have to treat our evil and foolish ways with a strong application of divine wisdom and understanding (vv.13-18). Then and only then will fear lose its grip. What's important is to know the real problem so that we can work on it. When it comes to fear, we must make wise decisions based on God's Word and build a love-trust relationship with Christ. That's what it takes to get rid of the "grubs." -Mart De Haan
By fear and inward doubt, Strive to do what pleases God, And He will lead you out. -Lloyd Keep your eyes on God and you'll soon lose sight of your fears.

And what better way to start the day (off), after prayer, than to join the Foxhole!
I enjoyed Saturday's read about the 'Nam Songs . . . even got out an old CD, "Creedence Clearwater Revival Revisited", great wefting music.
Today's thread is just awesome. It's amazing how some people were just born to fly and to push the envelope. My Dad always took me to "Airshows" and there was always a guy flying a bi-plane that would get out on the wing or just dangle. Loved those stunts.
BTW are sure about your facts? Are you sure that first pic is of Dick Grace? And not somebody else?
;^)
Snip,
We prayed for you all weekend and lifted your life at fellowship. Remember, that "by Christ's stripes you are healed."
Iris,
Snip says you purchased some bird feeders. Enjoy! We've bought four feeders from them and our backyard is turning into a etchuary (except for those darn skwirls).
Well, we're headed out shortly go to hike Whittney Canyon . . . we'll check in later.
Morning Snippy.
