I will watch it for sure, one way or the other.
If I have any after effects, I have my teardrops
to use this time. I didn’t buy the expensive ones.
I just used the Walgreen’s brand and they have the
same ingredients, such as they are!! Its very
soothing. And I use my dark glasses if its too
bright!

[oldteen]

Not a problem, potlatch, I’m just sorry to hear things are not going well for you. Prayers headed your way!

[oldteen]

Thank you for the update, Amy.

Prayers continue for our dear friend, Dubya!

[JustAmy]

Dear Potlatch.

I’m praying that all the bad happenings are behind you. Know that we are here if you ever need someplace to vent!

Take care of yourself.

Thank you all for your prayers.

I’ll keep y’all informed as things progress.

God bless you Dave.
No reply needed.

We’ll be praying and anxious to hear.

May God grant you restful sleep tonight.

Hey there, Diver!

Guess you figured the way to get ol' wolfie out of the forest was to toss him somethin' to worry about.

Well, my friend, it won't work. I know how tough you are, you'll beat this bump in the road - as you've beaten many other bumps during your lifetime.

God bless you, Dave. May the healing hands of the Lord work their magic over your body.

Um....since nobody's lookin'...here's a manly-man hug.
Wimmin aren't the only ones who need hugs. : )

[Diver Dave]

Thank you Louie.
I'm glad you came out of hibernation.
I really appreciate your prayers and comments. We are going to beat this. I've weathered many a storm over the years and this one is beatable too.
Thank you so much for your response. It really means a lot to me and my family.
Stay tuned for updates. I'm looking forward to posting a cancer-free comment.
Take care my friend.

[oldteen]

I'm looking forward to posting a cancer-free comment.

We all look forward to that as well, DD.

Please, take care of yourself! Prayers will continue for as long as you are in need! *hugs*

[Diver Dave]

Thank you teeny.

We’ve fought many battles over the years and this one is no different.

I will Praise our Lord forever because He is right beside me.

[oldteen]

You are sooo very welcome. Life does throw us some unexpected and unwanted curves.

Your outlook on things warms my heart. Just to know you and your family have a great faith and a trust in the Lord for such storms needing to be weathered brings a smile!

God Bless you, DD! *hugs*

Surprise!
October 31, 2011

A writer for The Washington Post conducted an experiment to test people’s perception. He asked a famous violinist to perform incognito at a train station in the nation’s capital one January morning. Thousands of people walked by as he played, but only a few stopped to listen. After 45 minutes, just $32 had been dropped into the virtuoso’s open violin case. Two days earlier, this man—Joshua Bell—had used the same $3.5 million Stradivarius for a sold-out concert where people paid $100 a seat to hear him perform.

The idea of a person not being recognized for his greatness isn’t new. It happened to Jesus. “He was in the world,” John said, “. . . and the world did not know Him” (John 1:10). Why did people who had been expecting the Messiah give Jesus such a cold reception? One reason is that they were surprised. Just as people today don’t expect famous musicians to play in railway stations, the people in Jesus’ day didn’t expect Messiah to be born in a stable. They also expected Him to be a political king—not the head of a spiritual kingdom.

The people in the first century were blinded to God’s purpose in sending Jesus to this world. He came to save people from their sins (John 1:29). Receive God’s surprising gift of salvation that He offers freely to you today.

Amazing thought! that God in flesh
Would take my place and bear my sin;
That I, a guilty, death-doomed soul,
Eternal life might win! —Anon.

God broke into human history to offer us the gift of eternal life.

Read: John 1:6-13

Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! —John 1:29

Bible in a year:
Jeremiah 22-23; Titus 1

WHEN THE FROST SNOW IS ON THE PUNKIN!
SORRY, MR. RILEY!

Good Morning All!
I am cleaning my food cabinets this morning
The harder I work, the bigger mess I make.
I had a lot of outdated canned goods and I'm glad
to get rid of those!
See you all later!
