Yep, it was a little windy out there yesterday. Gizmo sure enjoyed himself out there.

[radu]

It looked like Giz had a great time out there.
And the wind helped y’all stay a little more comfortable, I’d say. It helped a lot here yesterday.

[luvie]

Hi, EGC! ((hugs)) You did GREAT on the quiz! I think that smile on Gizmo's face means that he approves...and that he was having lots of fun with you today!

[luvie]

Ruh-roh. Hate to hear that fires have begun to pop up around there. I can’t help but think of that horrible fire in Gatlinburg.

We have a few in our area, too. 3 of them within 35 miles of us. We aren’t getting the smoke, so we must be upwind from them. Thank goodness.

[Political Junkie Too]

Sorry... no can do... The quiz is behind a Fox News Digital registration wall. I'm not giving them my email address.

They’ve been popping up the past couple of weeks. Today’s smoke must be from AL since the wind was from the south.
There aren’t as many fires showing as I expected there’d be by now, what with it being so darn dry, and that’s a good thing. How long it continues to be the case remains to be seen.

Lucky that you aren’t getting any smoke. You have plenty to deal with with the dusty air you have.

[luvie]

Yeah, there is that. Thanks for trying. I have a feeling you’d have aced it. :)

[luvie]

I wonder if some of the dust you’re having to deal with is from the Saharan dust cloud blowing across the Atlantic. I know it’s there, just not how far it’s traveled so far.

[radu]

No, it’s our dust. The Saharan dust cloud hasn’t come here. It’s still over the Atlantic and it’s way south. The huge high over the Atlantic is keeping everything down there.

Good morning night owl ((HUGS))
Thanks for keeping the Canteen doors open
with the Independence Day quiz.
I got 9/15.
My guessing was off because I was
still on my first cup of coffee. LOL
Hope you have a wonderful holiday.

They were very good, and not scared of Tippy!

(((Perhaps because she looks just like their favorite cartoon character “Bluey”.

God’s Life-Changing Gift

Bible in a Year :

• Job 25-27
• Acts 12

I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.

Psalm 119:16

I greeted our youth group as my husband and I handed out Bibles. “God will use these priceless gifts to change your life,” I said. That night, a few students committed to reading the gospel of John together. We continued inviting the group to read Scripture at home while we taught them during our weekly meetings. More than a decade later, I saw one of our students. “I still use the Bible you gave me,” she said. I saw the evidence in her faith-filled life.

God empowers His people to go beyond reading, reciting, and remembering where to find Bible verses. He enables us to “stay on the path of purity” by living “according to” the Scriptures (Psalm 119:9). God wants us to seek and obey Him as He uses His unchanging truth to free us from sin and change us (vv. 10-11). We can ask God daily to help us know Him and understand what He says in the Bible (vv. 12-13).

When we recognize the priceless value of living God’s way, we can “rejoice” in His instruction “as one rejoices in great riches” (vv. 14-15). Like the psalmist, we can sing, “I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word” (v. 16). As we invite the Holy Spirit to empower us, we can savor each moment spent prayerfully reading the Bible—God’s life-changing gift to us.

Reflect & Pray

How do you invest in studying the Scriptures? How can delighting in them change your perspective on God’s call to obey Him?

Loving God, please help me rejoice over the priceless words of Scripture as You empower me to submit to Your wisdom and authority in my life.

Ya snagged it!
Great quiz score, too!

[luvie]

I was going to ask if Tippy had been part of the party. Great that they aren’t afraid of her. Did she try to herd them yet? :)

[luvie]

Hi, Rus! Good to see you! Thanks for another beautiful lesson from God’s Word.

Is it heating up there in your little corner of the world?

[left that other site]

She does run circles around them. :-)
