Thank you!
Delete all cookies, temporary files..run a virus scan. turn off completely and start again..If you have wireless..unplug the router and let it sit a few minutes before reconnecting..(it takes awhile) That’s all I know to do.
It’s frustrating, I know!
Thanks Meg....I did some things last week but I will try your suggestions! If I get it to work better, I will send you a note. Hope you are feeling a little better since you lost your niece. So sad, Meg...been thinking of you.
Between the fields where the flag is planted, there are 9+ miles of flower fields that go all the way to the ocean. The flowers are grown by seed companies. It's a beautiful place, close to Vandenberg AFB.! Check out the dimensions of the flag
The Floral Flag is 740 feet long and 390 feet wide and maintains the proper Flag dimensions, as described in Executive Order #10834.
This Flag is 6.65 acres and is the first Floral Flag to be planted with 5 pointed Stars, comprised of White Larkspur. Each Star is 24 feet in diameter; each Stripe is 30 feet wide.
This Flag is estimated to contain more than 400,000 Larkspur plants, with 4 -5 flower stems each, for a total of more than 2 million flowers.
How cool would it be to fly over this one?
Dolly, isn’t there a picture of that from the air? Seems I may have seen it before but can’t remember where?
Hope you are having a good day today! I’m in a rush...dr’s. appt. 10:30....ugh!
Good Morning Jaycee
How are you today? Just waiting for the sun to make an appearance today. ;) A lot of needed rain here. Everything is growing like crazy. Finally looking like spring time.
The writers of the Old and New Testaments used many different metaphors for the Lord Jesus Christ. These word pictures vividly describe the marvelous aspects of Jesus' life and ministry.
While visiting a friend, hymnwriter Albert Simpson Reitz saw the following motto hanging on a wall: "The Lamb Is My Shepherd." How foolish, he thought. Then he realized that a smudge on his glasses had distorted the second word of the motto. Actually it read: "The Lord Is My Shepherd."
His mistake started him thinking. He remembered that the Scriptures present Jesus both as the Good Shepherd and as the Lamb of God. Reitz said to his friend, "I've just seen the glorious gospel of our Lord in a new light. I'm reminded that the apostle John on the island of Patmos saw a vision, assuring him that the resurrected 'Lamb who is in the midst of the throne' will guide His people even when they get to heaven. Misreading that motto on your wall has given me a rich blessing. It could actually read, 'The Lamb Is My Shepherd.'"
It's reassuring to know that our Shepherd will guide us safely through this life, and that He will continue to feed and lead us throughout eternity.

GeeBee, we’ve had some beautiful days in the high 70’s but it started chilling down yesterday and we were at 32 this morning. We get so anxious in this part of the country and we always have weather like this in the spring but want it to warm up and stay that way! It will happen! Grass is beautiful and we’ve been mowing for about a month now! I’ll be back later in the day!
We cooled down but not as drastic. Have a great day! I have to go for now too. See you soon :)

We have warmed up to 57 now.I rather thought the switch on the thermostat would stay on A/C but I forgot it is spring and one never knows when a cool spell will hit.
Hope your computer/cable problems clears up soon, jaycee.
I am having a blackout on some graphics this morning, too.
Thank you Meg.....I can sure agree with those sentiments.
In John 3:16 we read, "For God so loved the world." But what about His love for individuals? The rest of the verse reveals the central purpose behind God's sacrifice of His Son: "That whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Therefore, without exception, every person may interpret John 3:16 like this: "For God so loved me!"
A. B. Simpson, a great missionary of the past, often hugged a globe to his chest and wept over the world's lostness. Yet his global vision was marked by compassion for individuals. You and I also must feel the responsibility to take the gospel to our world—by sharing the good news with one person at a time.
Unfortunately, we often think of the Great Commission in terms of "foreign missions" only. "World missions" is perhaps a better term, for that includes our nearest neighbors, who are part of the world to which God has called us. And we are already there!
Like A. B. Simpson, embrace your smaller world through earnest prayer as you consider lost individuals in your family, neighborhood, and workplace. Then, as you seek to live and give the good news, expect God to open doors of opportunity.
