ROFL! It sounds like we're picking out our wardrobe for the day, doesn't it. Mix and Match. I love it! :o)

Some of my stuff is off line too. Look at my profile page. Ick! It looks tacky right now and it's not my fault--it's Fotki's! Grrrrrr!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Well have a good day at **** and I hope to see after you return.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Yep it is and I wish they would quit doing what ever it is they are doing!ARGH!

Thanks for The Daily Bread.
In my mail this morning was the following, sent by a friend of 33 years,
and is an excellent reminder...

========================================================

God and the Spider

During World War II, a US marine was separated from his unit on a Pacific island.
The fighting had been intense, and in the smoke and the crossfire he had lost touch
with his comrades.

Alone in the jungle, he could hear enemy soldiers coming in his direction.
Scrambling for cover, he found his way up a high ridge to several small caves
in the rock.
Quickly he crawled inside one of the caves.
Although safe for the moment, he realized that once the enemy soldiers
looking for him swept up the ridge,
they would quickly search all the caves and he would be killed.

As he waited, he prayed, Lord, if it be your will, please protect me.
Whatever your will though, I love you and trust you. Amen.

After praying, he lay quietly listening to the enemy begin to draw close.
He thought, Well, I guess the Lord isn't going to help me out of this one.
Then he saw a spider begin to build a web over the front of his cave.

As he watched, listening to the enemy searching for him all the while,
the spider layered strand after strand of web across the opening of the cave.

Hah, he thought.What I need is a brick wall and what the Lord has sent me
is a spider web.
God does have a sense of humor.

As the enemy drew closer he watched from the darkness of his hideout
and could see them searching one cave after another.
As they came to his, he got ready to make his last stand.

To his amazement, however, after glancing in the direction of his cave,
they moved on.
Suddenly, he realized that with the spider web over the entrance,
his cave looked as if no one had entered for quite a while.

Lord, forgive me, prayed the young man.
I had forgotten that in you a spider's web is stronger than a brick wall.

We all face times of great trouble.
When we do, it is so easy to forget the victories that God would work in our lives,
sometimes in the most surprising ways.

As the great leader, Nehemiah, reminded the people of Israel when they
faced the task of rebuilding Jerusalem, In God we will have success!
[Nehemiah 2:20]

========================================================

Remember: Whatever is happening in your life, with God,
a mere spider's web can become a brick wall of protection.
Believe He is with you always.

Just speak His name through Jesus His son,
and you will see His great power and love for you.

========================================================

Struggle as we might to solve our own problems,
it remains so that God has *all the answers!*

I really wasn't sure how it would turn out!

Now that I have looked at it several times as I am scrolling down the page I rather like it.

I only wish I had saved it before posting.LOL.

[The Mayor]

Hi, I'm not any where near a roof today.
I am sitting in my office working on a set of plans.
Need to make a material list and order all of it.
I have been on and off the phone with the lumber company.
Start buildind a 2 story addition monday, that will keep me busy for a month or longer.
Depends on how much work my friend Don wants me to do.

My petitions are all in, and I just got a confirmation card in the mail.
We have come to a compromise with the parade committee.
We won't be in but we are now allowed to work the crowd and hand out literature.
I'm not completely happy with the deal, either be all inclusive or all exclusive. End of subject.
