Good morning, fellow Snowflakes! Happy Friday! Here’s your Tony Snow Show ping.

Sadly again, I will not be available for today’s thread. Thank you as always for the quality and quantity of your posts.

I am still looking for a volunteer to keep the Thread going beginning on or before Friday, February 24th as I will have to hang up my Thread posting responsibilities. I am looking for a volunteer who is comfortable enough with html to take over the posting of the daily thread. I have a template, but it’s nice to update it with the day’s program.

Please consider volunteering if you would like to keep the Thread going. I will not be able to support the Thread beyond that date.

Thank you as always!

Cheers,

saveliberty

"Garbage Mary"

Read:
Ephesians 5:1-13

Lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted Word. —James 1:21

Bible In One Year: Leviticus 8-10; Matthew 25:31-46

cover She dressed in rags, lived in a tenement house amid mounds of garbage, and spent much of her time rummaging through trash cans. The local newspaper picked up her story after the woman who was known in her neighborhood as "Garbage Mary" had been admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Astonishingly, in her filthy apartment police found stock certificates and bankbooks indicating she was worth at least a million dollars.

This woman's condition was heartbreaking. But from God's point of view there are even more tragic examples of "wealthy" people who subsist on "garbage." If Christians are controlled by lust, hate, envy, pride, impatience, or bitterness, they're actually choosing to live off the refuse of the world.

This might be understandable if they had no resources to draw from. You'd expect that kind of behavior from people without faith in Christ. But that's not the case for believers. We have the Word of truth and the help of the Holy Spirit. We have no excuse for groveling in the dirt of sin when the power of God is at our disposal.

Father, forgive us for eating "garbage" when You've prepared a banquet for us. Help us to "lay aside all filthiness" (James 1:21) and to feast on Your goodness. —Mart De Haan

Choose not the lowly paths of sin
When lofty heights before you rise;
God freely gives the power to win
The victor's crown, the heavenly prize. —D. De Haan

One taste of God's grace can make us lose our hunger for the world.

She interviewed NBC reporter Richard Engel on this morning's Today show in the wake of the release of a new videotape of Jill Carroll, the US journalist kidnapped in Iraq last month. The tape showed a composed Carroll speaking with a floral backdrop behind her. Katie, ever the fashion maven, declared "it's actually kind of a pretty setting."

Morning Liberty..

I wish I could take it over for you but some days I'm not here and as you have seen I post late.

Work will be picking up and I may not be able to post coffee.

Morning, PT, Sorry, but I have been letting the Thread know over the past week that I will not be able to support this anymore, much as I would like to.

So it is important for someone to decide if he/she can post the Thread daily.

I'm here.

Busy day on tap, so probably won't do much but lurk.

(Hold the cheers, please.) ;<))))
