ON A GOOD DAY
Our worth is tested every day. We are given the choice of being nice to people or uncharitable. We are given the choice of doing our work as well as we can or of goofing off. Some days it seems the tests are harder than on others, but every day brings with it some kind of test. Even the really good days!
To have everything go wonderfully for us, to feel like a million dollars, to have one of those days when nothing and nobody can upset us, they are days when we might think we don't need God. And so we pay Him little attention. MISTAKE! BIG MISTAKE! We must never forget our good days are God's gifts to give us a breather, a taste of heaven.
"Make no mistake about this," writes St. James, "Every genuine benefit comes from above, descending from the Father of the heavenly luminaries." Good days are made in heaven. Be sure to thank God for them.
CDR Gary Simons, CHC, USN

Good for you...we are still threatening rain, but this weekend has lots of summer solstice events going on all over town and the rain has stayed away so far.

Morning coffee bump.
Yep, yeserday was a pretty good day. We ate chicken tenders for supper. Also, drove out to the lake and visited one of Chuck's golfing buddies.
Latyer this morning I'll be going to town to get some items for Bo. I may stop by Homeland and get some chicken.
Tommorow I have a dentist appointment at 8:10 AM CDT.

Glad you had a nice day. Something is going on fairly close...I can hear police sirens in the distance.
Enjoy your Sunday.

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night Troops, wherever you are.
Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.
