I am well dear....you wouldn't believe the fun weather we have had today!

We have had a rain & big "boomers" off & on all day. The air smells divine....the greenery looks electric & the temps have dropped considerably.

I am sooo.....ready for a weekend. I almost have my daytime computer back to snuff. I don't like not being able to keep up during the day! LOL

And how are you?????

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sugarglider? Hibiclens? Which is the issue?

[EsmeraldaA]

Hummmm...

I'm fine, thank you........same here.....and I'm doing more or less okay. (more than less actually)

So......lucky me, huh? Caught you in. ;o)

[TASMANIANRED]

Temp is about the same but had thunderboomers most of the day.

Bounced me out of bed this morning.

[TASMANIANRED]

Yeah, Boy.
Works for me...

[TASMANIANRED]

Thanks Sarge.

[AZamericonnie]

TGIF to you sweetie!

I got home a little late tonight then cooked my hubby a big dinner so I'm trying to catch up now.

A couple of newlyweds stopped by my office late to show me pics of their wedding & honeymoon. They were precious!

Memories to last a lifetime!

And how are you dear? *Hugs*

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, lauren, for the pictures of our troops at work.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Great pictures, GE, of the diversity of jobs done by our awesome military. Thanks.

[AZamericonnie]

Oh my goodness! Thank heavens he ran fast!

YES....time to get those branches taken down. The winter you had has surely caused you alot of extra spring work I'm sure.

Did you have to remove the pear tree entirely?

[luvie]

It must be hard on her not living where they are. Is she coming to see for herself?

I know you would if you could! (((hugs)))

[luvie]

I am having a great day. I was off for my birthday.

I think you had the weather that we had last night. It has been cool here all day. Not much rain, but we had some spectacular lightening, too....last night.

I am ready for green!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Hope, for helping honor our troops.

[TASMANIANRED]

Little critter fell in and got it in his eyes.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Must be nice to get back to your cable after a day of the impossible slows. d:o)

[TASMANIANRED]

I think they will be ok...

I'm sure they will be in touch with Mama once the Er gets them cleared out..

Very, very fortunate.

[AZamericonnie]

I'm so glad you had your special holiday off! Did ya do anything special?

We had a lightening strike so close it made me squeal! LOL

READ: Psalm 66:1-10

All the earth shall worship You and sing praises to You. —Psalm 66:4

“Keep on travelin’. Keep on . . .” sang the teenagers of the Dayspring Chorale. They had just sung the first five words of their Sunday evening concert when everything went dark. All power was gone.

Well, not all power. Not true power.

The students kept singing. Flashlights were found to shine on the chorale as they sang their entire repertoire without accompaniment.

Midway through the concert, the director, my daughter Lisa, asked the congregation to sing along. It was goosebump time as God’s name was lifted high in that darkened church. “Hallelujah” never seemed so heavenly.

Before the concert, everyone had worked hard to make sure all the electrical equipment was working. But the best thing that happened was for that power to go out. As a result, God’s power was highlighted. God’s light, not electric light, shone through. Jesus was praised.

Sometimes our plans break down and our efforts fall short. When things happen that we can’t control, we must “keep on travelin’” and remember where the real power for godly living and true praise comes from. When our efforts falter, we need to keep praising and lifting up Jesus. It’s all about Him anyway.

Sing praise to God who reigns above,
The God of all creation,
The God of power, the God of love,
The God of our salvation.  —Schutz

God’s great power deserves our grateful praise.

Bible in One Year:   Joshua 13-15; Luke 1:57-80

Amen...they certainly were fortunate!
