READ: Psalm 146
Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help. —Psalm 146:5
Everyone wants to be happy. But many fail in their quest to find that elusive prize because they are looking in the wrong places.
Proverbs 16:20 tells us, “Whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he.” And Psalm 146:5 indicates that happiness comes to those who find their help and hope in God.
The foundation for happiness is a proper relationship with the Lord. But to fully experience that happiness, we must build on that foundation in practical ways. I found this list of Ten Rules for Happier Living:
These are excellent ideas for living a happy life. Undergird each of these rules with praise, and your happiness will be complete. “Praise the Lord, O my soul! While I live I will praise the Lord” (Ps. 146:1-2)
I spent most of the day in San Antonio today. I'm working on a project within site of the Alamo.
Before leaving the office, I grabbed my Flag tie. On the plane I noticed the pilot had one as well. The stewardess even commented on it. Cool so far.
On the flight back, I had taken it off, and had it in my jacket pocket. Coming down the jetway, I see the pilot, different guy, wearing a Flag tie. Hmmm. I said nothing , but pulled mine out and show it to him. Big smiles ensued. He then asked if I was going to fly (as in the plane) that leg, since I obviously was qualified by the tie.
I hadn't noticed this, but it turns out a Flag tie is one of only 5 styles the pilots can wear. They have done so for about 4 years. BTW, this was Southwest.
Huh, I thought they could only wear black ties.
Cool. Wearing that on flights might just get you better service, too.

READ: Psalm 46
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. —Psalm 46:1
People are supposed to call 911 for emergencies only, but many people don’t understand or follow the rule. Police emergency operators in Colorado Springs have received calls from people reporting a TV set that wasn’t working, asking when it was going to stop snowing, and wanting to report an identification theft while they remained anonymous.
I have often wondered if many of our prayers for help sound frivolous to God. It’s impossible to know, but there’s one thing we can be assured of: In our times of need, the Lord not only hears our cries, He is present with us.
Psalm 46 describes times of great calamity, including war and natural disasters. Yet it is a song of trust that begins and ends with the same affirmation: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. . . . The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge” (vv.1,11).
The Lord is always at work accomplishing His purposes—even when the world seems to be falling apart. He tells us, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” (v.10).
We don’t have to fear. When we call for help, we know that He hears and will come near.
Good morning everyone.
PE neat on the tie thing. ;)
LOL
Road trip report:
Rain was gawdawful until Buffalo. Cars in the ditch everywhere due to driving too fast.
Turned the wipers off at Leona.
Lunch in Huntsville. We waved at the prison as we went by.
Wow you back home already?
Our weather here is lousy. It rained hard most of the night, now the temp is dropping like a sock with a rock in the toe. We are headed for ice storms by tomorrow. It's icky gray, wet and cold out.
