It is terrible..The residents who evacuated are being allowed back in for the first time..I saw the traffic jam on Fox..There is only one way in.

Building A City
They desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God. —Hebrews 11:16

For 41 years, New York’s Empire State Building enjoyed the distinction of being the world’s tallest building at 1,250 feet. Since then, others have passed it, including the 1,483-foot Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the 1,670-foot Taipei 101 building. The 2,657-foot Burj in Dubai to be completed in late 2008 will surpass those by far.

From ancient times, man has tried to distinguish himself through monuments of all kinds. It is still the dream of many today.

The writer to the Hebrews presents a better way to achieve significance. He noted that heroes of the faith never lost sight of the fact that they “were strangers and pilgrims on the earth” (Heb. 11:13). As a result, “God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them” (v.16).

It is a fact of life that every monumental work will likely be surpassed. Even man’s biggest “successes” are fleeting. Our best efforts can bring only temporary honor, which all too soon will be eclipsed by the new and greater achievements of others. But those who invest their efforts in living to please God have a lasting city and an everlasting honor to look forward to. God is even now preparing these for them.

Who is building your life? You or God?

True greatness does not lie with those
Who strive for worldly fame;
It lies instead with those who choose
To serve in Jesus’ name. —D. De Haan

A solid foundation gives strength to a building and a life.


Bible in One Year: Isaiah 58–60; Proverbs 30:1-9

I love those kitties..Haven’t seen that one!

;o)
That kitten looks a lot like mine..She managed to” make bread” on my hip..climb up and lick my face. generally destroy my plan of getting to sleep at a normal time..
She settled in my lap when I sat up..innocent. Kittens survive because they are so darn cute.

I happened to think of them when I saw your darling “Indian cats” yesterday!

I laughed when you talked about “making bread on your hip”. When I kept my son’s cat those times before she died, she absolutely ‘kneaded” me to death. Aren’t they so precious though?

What if I had to type a sentence? Goodness, I didn't think I would ever finish that one name!

LOL! It would get very busy with the whole sentence spelled out with those cute li'l critters. Try using JUST the first letter with an alphabet critter, and then do the rest of the word in colored text - using the font face "Comic Sans Ms" and a font size of "5", and make the rest of the letters in "bold", like this:

ee how this looks?

<img src="http://d21c.com/billie/Critters/CritterAlphabetS.gif"> <font face="comic sans ms" size=5 color=purple><b>ee how this looks?</b></font>

By turning OFF the bold, and the font color, face, & size at the end of that sentence, this paragraph is back to the default text.
