Thanks, folks.

John MaGee, Wilfred Owen, Sandburg and Frost, and others have had a profound effect on me, but I try to stay away from being deliberately derivative.

Sometimes, though, when I’m thinking about things like flying, I can feel MaGee back in there, in my mind, just exulting in his almost inexpressible joy.

Or I tune into Frost’s wry amusement, and studied observations.

Like them, I do this as much for my own enjoyment as for any other purpose. Glad you’re with me on that!

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Meg.

If I had posted today’s holidays, you would have seen that today is Iris Day. Too many things going on at this time.

Only 3 1/2 week of school left. Looking forward to not setting the alarm for 5:30am. :)

Happy Iris Day!

Building A Life That Matters
May 9, 2012

My grandkids love to play with Legos. These small colorful building blocks capture their imagination for building forts, planes, houses, or whatever the instructions may call for.

Emptying the contents of the box onto the floor, my grandchildren begin to put the pieces together. But soon they think they don’t need to consult the directions. This eventually leads to a point when they realize that building according to their own instincts has resulted in a bad outcome. So, they break it apart and start over again—but this time they have a keen sense of how important the directions are.

Do you need the pieces of your life broken apart and put back together according to God’s directions? If you have Jesus Christ as your foundation, begin to follow His blueprint for living. Paul wrote, “Let each one take heed how he builds” on the foundation (1 Cor. 3:10-11). What is the blueprint? Value others above yourself by humbly serving them (Phil. 2:3-4), give generously of your resources to those in need (James 2:14-17), respond with love to those who have wronged you (Rom. 12:14-21). These are just a few of the pieces that God wants you to put together to build a life that is worthy of being His temple (1 Cor. 3:16).

Because of the grace and forgiveness that You have
shown me, Lord, I want to live a life that’s worthy of
knowing You. Help me to follow Your plans that
You’ve laid out in the Scriptures. Amen.

The Bible is the Christian’s blueprint for life.

Read: 1 Corinthians 3:9-17

I have laid the foundation . . . . But let each one take heed how he builds on it. —1 Corinthians 3:10

Bible in a Year:
Nehemiah 7-9

It is all a gift of God.
We are born into this world,
All we have and are is the gift of God!!!

How merciful and and good is our LORD God! Let us adore and praise him ever! In Jesus name, amen.

Sorting Things Out

Everything has been so strange. I think my family changed.
The little place I used to live seems somehow re-arranged.

I think that I agree with you, whoever you may be,
It looks like how we sort this out depends on you and me.

Well, I could use a brother, cause I miss my folks a lot,
And I'd like a friend beside me when I'm sleeping on the cot.

I'm rather independent, but I'll go along with that,
By the way, just so you'll know. You're a dog, and I'm a cat.

I agree wholeheartedly, geo. I have had lots of problems recently with my health
and He walks with me and holds me up each day.

How merciful and and good is our LORD God! Let us adore and praise him
ever! In Jesus name, amen And AMEN!

Thank you, geo!
