Me neither.

Spent the weekend pruning rose bushes.. Despite gloves, I’m all scratched and knicked up.

[BIGLOOK]

Best I can do since we haven't seen Afa6 in a while.....






(Lost my old PC the other day....and everything that was on it, got another ......and though I search, some ain't around anymore.)

[Old Sarge]

Argh, the stinging and itching afterwards. Beautiful flowers, but high maintenance.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[TASMANIANRED]

Had to take a saw to some thick and dead old canes.

They didn’t take kindly to it.

[ConorMacNessa]

I'm dreading the winter pruning this year - I've got some thick old wood that has to come out. At least I can get the boys to do the heavy work now. :)

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!

Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly – the bugler already mounts the parapet. Will chat with you all on the morrow.

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

No Authority?
October 4, 2011

When the deck behind our house began caving in, I knew its repair would exceed my abilities. So I made some calls, got some bids, and picked a builder to construct a new deck.

Once the contractor was done, I took a close look at his work and noticed some problems. Seeking a second opinion, I called the local building inspector and got a surprise. The deck guy had not obtained a building permit. Working without official oversight, he had violated many points of the building code.

This incident reminded me of an important truth (other than asking to see the building permit): We often do less than our best if we don’t have any accountability to the authority over us.

In Scripture, we see this principle explained in two of Jesus’ parables (Matt. 24:45-51; 25:14-30). In both cases, at least one unsupervised worker failed when the master was gone. But then we see a different approach in Proverbs 6. We see the example of the ant, which does good work without a visible supervisor. It intrinsically does its work without being monitored.

What about us? Do we do good work only when someone is watching? Or do we recognize that all our service is for God, and so do our best at all times—even when no human authority is watching?

God sees and knows the work we do:
Our faithfulness He will reward;
With His authority in view,
Let’s do our best for Christ the Lord. —Hess

No matter who your boss is, you are really working for God.

Read: Proverbs 6:6-11

Consider [the ant’s] ways and be wise, which, having no . . . ruler, provides her supplies . . . and gathers her food. —Proverbs 6:6-8

Bible in a year:
Isaiah 20-22; Ephesians 6

Howdy, Taz! (((hugs)))

Hope you and yours had a great weekend!

We ate part of our “crop” of okra. I think there were 4 in all. LOL!

I hope next year is better for growing stuff. :(

[TASMANIANRED]

4 okra and you only ate part of it.. LOL.

There is still hope. Mine is still blooming and temps have been way down.

[luvie]

I did notice that even though there aren’t many leaves left there seem to be buds and small pods on the plants. he wasn’t too happy with this particular “cultivar” as he calls it. LOL!

[Sequoyah101]

There are a lot of pinheads who have problems with the sound of FREEDOM! Not much of that going around these days.
