Good evening, Songcraft, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Thanks for the beautiful hymn. I can’t sing worth a darn, but since I’m the only one here I can sing as loud as I want...same with Onward, Christian Soldiers. And repeat as many times as I want. LOL!
Howdy, E.C.G. ((HUGZ))
Looking at that sky, I gather it got a bit damp over there yesterday. At least you and Gizmo were able to have a little fun at Comanche Lake yesterday.
Maybe he’ll post a video later. I assume he got at least one. Everyone else had their phones out getting videos.
I’m pretty good at avoiding cameras. LOL Being tall, I can stand behind everyone. He did get the shot of me the first time I got to ride in the APC though. I was kinda trapped that time. LOL You snagged that one for me.
Resting will be a must. It HAS been a busy week and the ol’ bum back is very cranky. This getting old thing ain’t no fun ay-tall.
So cool...a cannon!! BOOM!!!!!
Welcome Troops, Veterans, Families, and Allies!

A BOOM that’s like a sucker punch. LOL
He’s talking about doing it again on 4th of July weekend.
Oh, I remember that one. LOL! Caught you having a blast!
Guess I’d better get off here. I’m going to hate the alarm in the morning. Ugh! See ya tomorrow.
Got it!
Got it!
I certainly WAS having a blast.
I didn’t get to ride today because I was so busy inside. I was lucky to get to step outside for the cannon shots.
Sleep well. I’m about to crash and burn. It’s been a long but fun weekend and the wind has dropped from the sails.
Catch ya tomorrow.
They started it on Monday. We were able though to use the highway because usually highway construction crews don't work on the weekends.
As you might imagine, I am NO fan whatsoever of highway construction. Those red lights in those zones sometimes last several minutes.
I'm sure a lot of you out there have been through this nonsense.
Good morning, Allegra, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Glad you got rain as well.
Good morning, E...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Weather looks a bit iffy, but Gizmo looks like he enjoyed himself. Ribs look yummy.
You guys enjoy your Sunday adventures.
Any advance notice and I’ll bet you have a full house of visitors for a cannon shot!
I have been there...and I hate them too! But then, the roads are so much nicer if and when they finally finish the project. LOL!
Glad y’all had fun this weekend!
Bible in a Year :
Food gained by fraud tastes sweet, but one ends up with a mouth full of gravel.
Thieves in Germany stole a truck’s refrigerated trailer filled with more than twenty tons of chocolate. The estimated worth of the stolen sweetness was $80,000. Local police asked anyone who was offered large quantities of chocolate via unconventional channels to report it immediately. Surely those who stole the massive amount of sweets will be facing bitter and unsatisfying consequences if they’re caught and prosecuted!
Proverbs confirms this principle: “Food gained by fraud tastes sweet, but one ends up with a mouth full of gravel” (20:17). Things we acquire deceptively or wrongfully may seem to be sweet at first—seasoned with excitement and temporary enjoyment. But the flavor will eventually wear off and our deception will lead to our being left wanting and in trouble. The bitter consequences of guilt, fear, and sin can end up ruining our lives and reputations. “Even small children are known by their actions, [if] their conduct [is] really pure and upright” (v. 11). May our words and actions reveal a pure heart for God—not the bitterness of selfish desires.
When we’re tempted, let’s ask God to strengthen us and help us remain faithful to Him. He can help us look behind the short-term “sweetness” of giving in to temptation and guide us to carefully consider the long-term consequences of our choices.
Reflect & Pray
When has temptation led to bitter consequences for you? How can you remain faithful to God?
Dear God, I need Your strength to fight temptation and remain faithful to You.
