Good morning, JC!

"I remember the singer on the Billy Graham show singing that song "I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold".

I think you are talking about George Beverly Shea - what a VOICE he had!

Have my Red on, only went to the grocery store. Great grands coming in tomorrow, have to have a little something for them to munch on. Got some animal crackers and fruit gummies. And a Lunchable chicken nugget for the oldest in case she is hungry when they get here. Just big enough to tide her over until we go out to super to celebrate Great Grand Dad’s BD.

It will be a busy day as 1 is all they will be here. Lucky they could get away at all they have so much going on in their lives.

We are getting to the point that long distance travel is hard on us. And the closest is Nashville, then GA, then FL, IN and that is only grands and greats, not other relatives like bros and sis. We have to try and get to NY N. Falls area to see Dean’s 87 year old bro next year. Probably fly and rent a car. I dread that TSA crap.

Earworms
July 20, 2013

They burrow. They bore in. They attach themselves inside your head. Earworms, a term once used exclusively for insects, is now the name for those unrelenting tunes that you can’t get out of your head. Songs like, “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” the “Barney” song, or my personal nightmare: “It’s a Small World After All.”

They say the only way to rid yourself of the insidious infestation is to replace it with another tune—your “cleaner” song. New words and a fresh tune can crowd out the old.

Maybe we could use a cleaner song for our thought-life as well. When lustful or vengeful thoughts creep into our minds, reading and meditating on God’s Word can help to clean up our thinking.

Scripture tells us to love the Lord “with all [our] heart, with all [our] soul, and with all [our] mind” (Matt. 22:37) and not to “be conformed to this world” but to “be transformed by the renewing of [our] mind” (Rom. 12:2). It instructs us to think about things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy (Phil. 4:8).

When our minds wander to evil, the best “cleaner” is to allow the wisdom of the Bible to permeate our thoughts and hearts (2 Tim. 3:16).

Dear Lord, our desire is to spend time in Your Word.
We know that meditating on Your Word fills our minds
with thoughts of You and helps to keep our thinking
from wandering to evil. Help us to do so.

Character is the sum total of all our thoughts, words, and deeds.

Read: Philippians 4:4-9

If there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. —Philippians 4:8

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 26-28; Acts 22
