We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
Early hi!
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...I finally get on FR and Publius points me to possible outages for maintenance. I need my FR fix.
Did you have a Wonderful Wednesday? Did it warm up down there? Still warm here and no snow.
I want to mention Pi-Day: Saturday, March 14, 2015 at 9:26:53 AM will be the most significant π day for the next 100 years. π = 3.14159265358979... So we are celebrating at 3.14.15.9.26.53 exactly
It’s 85.
But I REFUSE to turn on the A/C. Its MARCH, fer pete sakes!
Not using the A/C has trimmed my electric bill to $31.00.
And yes, i had a wonderful wednesday...and you?
You miss a lot of really important stuff when you’re deployed. It’s been almost fifty years but I can still remember. Not the life for everybody but God bless those who can handle it.
I was trying to explain Pi to a 3rd grade student of mine.
I ended up talking in circles.
Good evening, Proud Marine Mom....((HUGS))...is Marine son learning new stuff? Still down south?
Good early posting, Marine...getting a head start in anticipation of off and on “closures”.
Happy Purim to You, Too!
I had a chance to explain the holiday to several folks who nhad never heard of it. I tied it in with the modern situation with Iran (Persia) and people were quite interested.
I call them Mell Noteslittle comments my daughter Melissa made in her Bible to help her apply a passage to her life.
In Matthew 7, for instance, she had drawn a box around verses 1 and 2 that talk about not judging others because, when you do, with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. Next to it she wrote this Mell Note: Look at what you are doing before you look at others.
Melissa was an others-oriented teen. She lived the words of Philippians 2:4. Her classmate Matt, who knew her from church nursery through her final days in the eleventh grade when she died in a car accident, said of Melissa at her memorial service: I dont think I ever saw you without a smile or something that brightened up peoples days. Her friend Tara said this: Thanks for being my friend, even when no one else was as nice and cheerful as you.
In a day in which harsh judgment of others seems to be the rule, its good to remember that love starts with us. The words of Paul come to mind: Now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love (1 Cor. 13:13).
What a difference well make if, when we look at others, we say, Love starts with me. And wouldnt that be a great reflection of Gods love for us?
INSIGHT
: In 1 Corinthians 13 Paul is extolling the value of love, but it is not just any kind of love. In Greek, there are a variety of words for love that range in meaning from physical to fraternal. Here, the word translated love is agape, which speaks of supreme lovethe kind that sacrifices itself for the one loved. This is the love God demonstrated for us by giving His Son to pay the price for our sins (John 3:16; Rom. 5:8).
Good evening, Kathy.
Mountains of snow which I cannot climb! Whoa such a Winter.
HUGS
I am so ready for this!
