You Are Deep
You are completely self sufficient. You are your own happiness.
You are content with your life and the world. It's hard to bum you out.

You see how everything is cyclical. You understand that nothing is permanent.
Insightful and smart, you know enough to get how the world works yet still realize there is more to learn.

Sweet Slumber

July 11, 2012

Photographer Anne Geddes has made an art form out of taking pictures of sleeping babies. Her photos evoke smiles. Nothing is a better image of peace than a sleeping child.

But between naps and nighttime, caring for children is an exhausting and relentless responsibility. In their innocence and enthusiasm, children can get themselves into life-threatening situations in no time. After a hectic day of chasing, entertaining, protecting, feeding, dressing, guarding, guiding, and making peace between squabbling siblings, parents are eager for bedtime. After the toys are put away and the pajamas are put on, the sleepy toddler slows down, cuddles with mom or dad for a bedtime story, and finally falls asleep. Later, before putting themselves to bed, parents check on their children one more time to make sure all is peaceful in dreamland. The serene beauty of a sleeping child makes all the day’s frustrations worthwhile.

Scripture indicates that God’s ideal condition for His children is peace (Lev. 26:6), but too often in our immaturity we get into trouble and cause conflict. Like parents of young children, God desires for us to become weary of wrongdoing and to rest in the safety and contentment of His loving ways.

Lord, help me not to squabble and cause friction
with others about unimportant matters.
May I instead find rest in Your love and wisdom,
and seek peace. Amen.
In His will is our peace. —Dante

Read: Leviticus 26:1-12

I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. —Psalm 4:8
Bible in a Year:
Psalms 148-150

WELCOME TO THE


(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

Now for our local DC Metroland weather report

~ Today...Partly sunny. Highs in the upper 80s. East winds 5 to 10 mph.

~ Tonight...Partly cloudy. Lows in the mid 60s. Southeast winds 5 to 10 mph.

Someone in the weather department miscalculated yesterday.
We were suppose to be in mid 80s
but I saw low 90s on the way home.
However later in the evening it did cool more.

You Are Analytical
You see where most of the pieces of life fit together. You are excellent at organizing chaos.
You are a natural tinkerer. You're interested in how things work and how you can improve them.

You tend to have your head in the clouds, but your daydreams are very important.
You're the type of person who could change the world - if you're given enough space and freedom.
The Impossible Figure Test

Gotta run for a bit. Will be lurking.

But, please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops and their families entertained.

The Canteen is

Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

Hiya Kathy, summer, she's a heating up!

You Are Deep
You are completely self sufficient. You are your own happiness.
You are content with your life and the world. It's hard to bum you out.

You see how everything is cyclical. You understand that nothing is permanent.
Insightful and smart, you know enough to get how the world works yet still realize there is more to learn.

WOO-HOO!!!

My PC came out of intensive care this afternoon after spending nearly 4 weeks in PC ICU.

It ended up getting a Motherboard transplant.
