Every Thursday at the Finest |
I love our Thursdays. John always brings it home, and the illustrations are always the icing on the cake. Thank you, Dolly and John!
Hope all the computer problems are behind you!
We here have all had our share (and then some) of computer woes, so you have a LOT of sympathy!
Good to see you & thanks for checking in!
Hey, that cartoon looked a little familiar...
Thank you!!! It was perfect for JH2's essay!
The one panel toons are easy on the Finest.
BUMP!
bttt
But thank God Jesus is no longer suffering.
Thank you for that Maggie memorial Dolly. When I have time I'm going to tell everyone what Maggie did for me before she went home to be with the Father. It's late and I'm more weary by the day. But people are being saved and that is the most important thing.
Wonderful card though. Thanks.
Aha! I knew about the computer. Grandpa had to get it fixed didn't he? How are you Morgan?
It's 1:30.....YIKES. Nighty night. Three more days to go and I'll have a bit of time to catch up. Love you guys.
So enormously sorry to hear of our Maggie's passing. I will miss those always witty 'Dear John' letters of hers.
I never had the fortune to meet her personally, only spoke to her over the phone earlier this month. She was so friendly and kind -- like we had known each other a lifetime. What a kind and gentle soul she was. Great sense of humor.
She is home with the Lord now, but she left our world a better place than she found it. Of that there can be no doubt. Thanks to her profound love for America and her burning patriotism. Her life was a model to emulate and an inspiration to all of us. We are all richer for having known her, this wonderful, precious soul.
May she rest in peace.
You did a really nice job on that pic for Maggie. Thank you for the ping!
Amen, on our behalf he was separated from the Father, so we wouldn't have to be! Jesus is the Way home for every prodigal, and the Father at the end of the journey, amen!
Wow! Excellent thoughts!

Our citizenship is in heaven. Philippians 3:20 Patrick OBrian (1914-2000) is a celebrated author of historic novels. In 1969 he published Master And Commander: The Far Side Of The World, a novel (later turned into a successful movie) about naval warfare during the Napoleonic War. One reason for this books popularity is OBrians careful attention to navy lore and natural history with penetrating insights into human nature.
In one stirring scene, Captain Lucky Jack Aubrey prepares his crew for battle. He tells them: England is under threat of invasion, and though we be on the far side of the world, this ship is our home. This ship is England.
Captain Aubreys view of citizenship is based on loyalty, not location. And this conviction clearly illustrates a biblical principle. Paul wrote to the church at Philippi, a Roman colony: Our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ (Philippians 3:20).
It is important for us to be reminded that though we are living on this side of heaven for now, our eternal home is the place where our loyalty should lie. We need to set [our] mind on things above, not on things on the earth (Colossians 3:2).
