READ: Matthew 7:15-27
The floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall. Matthew 7:25 According to an article in The Wall Street Journal, some people in the US are building houses stronger than ever before.
Hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes have caused billions of dollars in property damage in states across the nation. So, at the urging of businesses, government, and hard-pressed insurance companies, some builders are constructing fortress-like homes with windows that can withstand 130 mile-per-hour winds, roof nails so strong they can only be cut off, and framing material that can weather the tremendous forces faced by a supersonic jet. In Bolingbrook, Illinois, a community damaged by a tornado in the 1990s, a company is constructing such a fortified house in hopes that the idea will catch on.
We who know the Lord Jesus realize that when it comes to building our spiritual foundation, it must be strong and secure. In todays Scripture, Christ made it clear what that foundation must be when He referred to these sayings of Mine (Matt. 7:24), which included His teaching in the Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 57).
When we receive by faith Christs words and His work on our behalf, our spiritual lives are founded on the Rock, Christ Jesus.
Bible in One Year: Jeremiah 51-52; Hebrews 9

Thank You!
Oh, rainy day today, ugh, glad I don't have to go out. It's not cold, just wet.
Have a good one.
PET RULES
To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door - nose height.
Dear Dogs and Cats,
The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing
in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years -- canine or feline attendance is not required.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!
To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:
To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it "fur"niture.)
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
Remember: In many ways, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat less
2. Don't ask for money all the time
3 Are easier to train
4. Normally come when called
5. Never ask to drive the car
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don't smoke or drink
8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions
9. Don't want to wear your clothes
10. Don't need a "gazillion" dollars for college.
And finally,
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children.
LOL, good one! It's so true ;)
((LOL))
Oh, that's a keeper!

I'm a quilter, and I make lap quilts for our local VA hospital in Memphis, TN. Quilting is my only hobby.
90% of my fabric comes from Wal-Mart because of the great prices and they are the closet fabric source. BUT the quilters guild I belong to has learned that Wal-Mart is phasing out their fabric department nationwide. They have done away with them in some areas already. Wal-Mart is the ONLY source of fabric in my small town. It would mean a 20-30 minute drive to get to the next 2 sources of fabric. I'm a widow and on a fixed income so shopping at Wal-Mart for their prices and location is a must. Having to pay higher prices for fabric and gas will impact how many lap quilts I can do in a year for the VA hospital or for my own projects. I've done about 10 for the VA so far this year.
We are asking that people call 800 Wal-Mart and ask them NOT to discontinue the fabric departments.
From the Edwards AFB show this year, I think?
