Damn gal, coffee it is, and if you stop by the spa, Marabel the Swedish masseuse will give you a back rub and hot stone treatment for the back.

this is one of Paul’s answers...

Colossians 1:9-29 (King James Version)
...
“ 9.For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

10.That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

11.Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

12.Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

13.Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

* 14.In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

* 15.Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

* 16.For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

* 17.And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

* 18.And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

*19.For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

* 20.And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

* 21.And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

* 22.In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

* 23.If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

*24.Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church:

25.Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;

26.Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

** 27.To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

28.Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

29.Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.”

GOOD MILITARY MONDAY TO AMY’S PLACE!



The Soldier’s Code

1) I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

2) I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.

3) If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

4) If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.

5) When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to give only name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies, or harmful to their cause.

6) I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, August, 1955.

Mornin’, JOHNN! You know, it’s kinda late, but I’m hoping that you still have some of that wonderful metwort sausage left, and those wonderful cheeses that you served last week! Along with that assorted fruit bowl, it was one of my best Cyber-breakfasts ever! (Of course Sven rowing the boat for me was a MAJOR treat!) Hope he’s still ‘available’ to take Yorkie on a quiet row around the lake!

The Scriptures tells us God is a loving god.
He tells his children to be loving and to do good. He gave the instructions on how to live. We are the rebels and stiff necked, choosing ...

In Deutronomy god tells his people ... today I set before you Life and death, blessing and cursing
CHOOSE LIFE” ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I SET BEFORE YOU LIFE AND DEATH; BLESSING AND CURSING; THEREFORE
CHOOSE LIFE, THAT BOTH YOU AND YOUR DESCENDANTS MAY LIVE
(DEUTERONOMY 30:19)”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We tend to follow ... as men of the old testament did, to do what is right in our own eyes ..(death) (cursing)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"1 Corinthians 13 (King James Version)

1.Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

2.And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

3.And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4.Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5.Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6.Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

7.Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8.Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

9.For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10.But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

11.When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12.For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13.And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Considering how much Sven liked rowing “Dat Yorkie Gal about Da lake” He’s your regular rower. “If I could get him to wear an apron st right, I’d also make him your server, but he’s just likely to sit down and sip coffee with you and tell you tales of his days as a merchant marine sailor and show you his tattoos.

He has tatts? He never showed them to me.

If he were a ‘server’ - I wouldn’t see too much of him - so I’ll tell him to nix the apron!

“He never showed them to me.”

Well never on a first row! (Company policy)

I think I’ll keep him in the boat house or out on the lake, you’re likely to corrupt that big old farm boy no end!

lonestar got home safely from her 50th college reunion...tired. It was fun seeing old friends for the first time in 50 years.

She didn't take me...didn't even tell anybody about me. They would think she was crazy !

LOL

Well .. we don’t think she is crazy. :)

Did she find her hotel or did she sleep in the car?

Class reunions are always fun .... seeing how many classmates you recognize without checking name tags.
