"Only a week and a half until our annual 3 days at Avila Beach. I’m looking forward to getting away for a few days."

Kin YORKIE come, too???

[DollyCali]

quick hello & lots of hugs/kisses/love to everyone.

No really big news. Plugging along here trying to keep head above water.

the beach sounds like fun. Have lived near it over the years many times & the past 20 here with mom missed it tremendously

Happy Veteran’s day to all. I am one too but my service at an OCS training facility was so insignificant compared to what others did. I salute you!

True Security
November 11, 2011

During the Cold War—a period of unrest between major world powers in the last half of the 20th century—Americans lived under the threat of nuclear war. I recall that during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, we seemed to be a heartbeat away from annihilation. It was heady stuff for a sixth-grader.

One of my strangest memories of those turbulent times was the school safety drill. An alarm would sound, and we would hide under our desks—for protection from atomic bombs. Looking back, I’m certain it wouldn’t have helped us in the event of a nuclear holocaust. It may have even given us a false sense of security.

While we may not face the same level of nuclear threat today, there are still many dangers that scare us—and some of them are spiritual. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that our battles are “against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” These are mighty foes indeed, but God has given us His protective love (Rom. 8:35,38-39) and the spiritual resources of His armor (Eph. 6:13-17).

The result? While we face powerful enemies, “we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Rom. 8:37). In our heavenly Father, we have true security.

Though danger lurks on every side,
In Christ our Lord we will abide;
Our God is strong, our hope is sure—
In Him alone we are secure! —Fitzhugh

Safety is not found in the absence of danger,
but in the presence of God.

Read: Romans 8:31-39

In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. —Romans 8:37

Bible in a year:
Jeremiah 50; Hebrews 8

Thank you, Mary Lou!

[jaycee]

Thank you, Polly!

I missed your birthday. I tried to post a greeting to you
on Wednesday night and my eye was hurting too bad. I had
my second injection Wednesday and when the numbness wore
off, the pain was pretty bad this time.

I hope your birthday was the very best!! (((HUGS)))

[jaycee]

Lovely, Meg! We cannot honor our Veteran’s enough!

Thank you.

“True Security...”

Wow! Amen! Thank you for posting your comments and the quotes from Ephesians 6 ect. We stand and face...He fights the battles...all the armament is defensive, except for the Sword of the Spirit...the Word of God...that is very offensive to the principalities in spiritual places, and to their minions here.

[jaycee]

Hi Jane, I love THAT eagle!

[The Mayor]

Amen, Mary Lou! I love that picture! And to think we have
people in this country who hate our flag and what it stands
for! It gets under my skin!
