Ahhh...lovely rain. I would love for it to rain here! Have a lovely day!

[luvie]

What a little Easter sweetie!

[luvie]

Awwww....those eyes! They could get him anything he wants. LOL!

[luvie]

Maybe the delay will help people make up their minds to vote conservative.

Hmmm...well it is WI, but it HAS happened before.

WEDNESDAY!

The primary was so messed up. After the governor's attempts to delay everything, our WI Sup. Ct. and the SCOTUS, stopped him. But he did manage to extend the time that absentee mail-in votes (postmarked by yesterday) can arrive at their polling clerk to April 13. Plenty of time for dems to manufacture fake votes. He also tried to suspend Voter ID because....coronavirus. Made no sense of course. 🙄

[luvie]

Yep. Everything they think they can get away with will be blamed on a virus that has nothing to do with anything! I hope y’all have people who will inspect the absentee ballots for fraud.

[Silentgypsy]

Thank you.

[TheConservativeParty]

Probably dems will “inspect” and reject to a shredder, every repub ballot they see...while making up new dem ballots!

[luvie]

Nothing they do surprises me, especially if it’s illegal, immoral or idiotic. LOL

[TheConservativeParty]

True. Having Evers try to suspend Voter ID over the virus was the stupidest thing they've tried. Have a good night 😴

Surrendering All

Bible in a Year:

• 1 Samuel 13–14
• Luke 10:1–24

Then Peter spoke up, “We have left everything to follow you!”

Mark 10:28

Two men remembered for serving others for Jesus left careers in the arts to commit themselves to where they believed God had called them. James O. Fraser (1886–1938) decided not to pursue being a concert pianist in England to serve the Lisu people in China, while the American Judson Van DeVenter (1855–1939) chose to become an evangelist instead of pursuing a career in art. He later wrote the hymn “I Surrender All.”

While having a vocation in the arts is the perfect calling for many, these men believed God called them to relinquish one career for another. Perhaps they found inspiration from Jesus counseling the rich, young ruler to give up his possessions to follow Him (Mark 10:17–25). Witnessing the exchange, Peter exclaimed, “We have left everything to follow you!” (v. 28). Jesus assured him that God would give those who follow Him “a hundred times as much in this present age” and eternal life (v. 30). But He would give according to His wisdom: “Many who are first will be last, and the last first” (v. 31).

No matter where God has placed us, we’re called to daily surrender our lives to Christ, obeying His gentle call to follow Him and serve Him with our talents and resources—whether in the home, office, community, or far from home. Watch Annahita Parsan’s devotional video, “Jesus, the Revolutionary.” She surrendered to God’s call to share the gospel in Sweden. As we submit to His call, He’ll also inspire us to love others.

A Happy Thankful Thursday To Amy's Place

I have so much to be thankful for! My HEB grocery delivery came Friday
to the garage. My dear SIL filled in some of what wasn't delivered plus
some extras Saturday (a three hour round trip from his house to mine).
We visited from a distance in the garage.
I was so glad to see him! The back went into tantrum mode after I carted all those graceries to
the kitchen and put them away..I managed to quiet it down after staying
off the internet for four days but angered it today by doing too many
catch up jobs...so I must appease it again.
The kitties are thankful for clean pottiies! LOL!
I Am Thankful For You!

Doggie and Daisies. What a sweet combination.

[luvie]

I’m so thankful that HEB delivers! Is it expensive to have them do that? Are they still out of a lot of things that they shouldn’t be out of?

Hope your back settles down soon! Ouch!
