LOL. Good evening feather.

[Soaring Feather]

Hiya, snippy, how goes it?? Are you liking your new job??

Did you get to see the dogs this past weekend??

Oh boy, is it ever hot and humid here. Yikes. I am living in one room with the a/c on. The rest of the house is shut off for now. I am comfortable enough in the living room.

I just was out on the front porch to water the plants, I saw some lightning bugs, first I have seen this year.

Greetings from Golden, Colorado! So far we've ridden the cog train to Pikes Peak, taken the obligatory trip to the mall, and eaten at the aquarium. Hobbit Lass had a blast feeding the stingrays.

Glad to hear you are having a grand time. If you are passing through KC this coming weekend, 8/5 or 8/6, let me know.

Hiya feather. Things are hectic. I like the job and everyone is very nice. I didn't get to see the dogs, Sam put them in the doggy motel and drove down here for a long weekend.

Of course it's hot and humid down here but I'm afraid it's the norm here. It's going to take some getting used to.

We're still working getting a home so we can all be in one place. Hopefully that will happen by the end of the month.

...and eaten at the aquarium

Did you order the fish?

Three Friends

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ: Daniel 1:11-21

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. —Proverbs 17:17

The Old Testament characters Job and Daniel had much in common. Both went through serious trials and challenges. Both had great success because of the blessing of God’s presence in their lives. Both are viewed as giants of the faith, one for his patience in suffering and the other for his purity in an impure culture.

Job and Daniel had something else in common—each had three significant friends. Here, however, the similarities end. Job’s friends became a thorn in his flesh, offering him condemnation when he needed compassion and companionship. As Job struggled with loss and grief, Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar seemed bent on intensifying his pain rather than helping him in his adversity.

Daniel’s three friends were very different. Taken captive together, Daniel and his companions, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, supported and strengthened one another in difficult times. They stood together in honoring God (Daniel 1) and in prayer (2:17-18), and in refusing to bow before the king’s image (3:16-18). That’s the kind of friend we need.

So what kind of friend am I? Proverbs 17:17 says, “A friend loves at all times.” Who needs you to be a friend today? —Bill Crowder

Lord, help me be the kind of friend
That makes my friend secure,
So he can find new strength and hope,
His trials to endure.  —D. De Haan

A true friend is like support to a leaning wall.

What Price For A Book?

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ: John 6:60-69

Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. —John 6:68

A missionary who worked with Underground Evangelism told a story about a believer in Russia before the collapse of communism. Learning that a friend had acquired a Bible, he asked to borrow it. His friend, however, read the precious Book every evening until 10 p.m. So each night for 8 months, from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., that dedicated believer laboriously copied his friend’s Bible. Eventually, when some fellow Christians visited him with Bibles, he exchanged his handwritten labor of love for several copies.

Imagine not having access to a copy of the Bible. What price would you pay to get one? Let’s take this question to a deeper level.

When Jesus’ teachings began to “offend” those who were following Him, many chose to leave (John 6:60-66). So He asked His disciples, “Do you also want to go away?” (v.67). Peter replied, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life” (v.68). Peter knew that Jesus was the living Word—God revealed in the flesh. He was willing to forsake everything in this life to pursue the One who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Do we have Peter’s commitment? Do we have the devotion of that Russian believer? What price would we pay for the Book? For our Lord? —Vernon C Grounds

Thy Word is a lamp to my feet,
A light to my path alway,
To guide and to save me from sin,
And show me the heavenly way.  —Sellers

One measure of our love for God is our love for the written Word and our love for the Living Word.
