Nite, Conor! Have a good week! See ya in the morning! :)
Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...hope you are feeling better today, that your new meds aren’t fighting you.
Zeus and I both were mugged.
Howdy, ma, and all the Lovely Ladies! Thank you for today’s thread, Star, as always!
A few hours ago, I returned from a weekend at the Redneck Riviera! The Bride had the weekend off from the Police Academy, and The Grrlz and I drove up there to have a little fun. Got the guided tour of Panama City, Mexico Beach, and Tyndall AFB.
The weather went south on us Saturday, so the beach time was limited to a romantic walk in the surf and some shopping at the Margaritaville-style shops along the shore.
And, having not seen The Bride for several weeks, we set aside some time for comradely good fellowship.
I also got introduced to some more of The Bride’s rather large extended family. That promises to be a not-soon-ending effort.
though I’m wishing that I had more time to see and do there, it’s nice to be home safe and sound!
Howdy ((((SARGE))))
Glad you all had a good time and got home safely! :)
Recently I had a conversation with a woman who had experienced a very difficult situation. The stress had affected her health, so she had to visit the doctor frequently. But with a smile on her face, she told me that she has been able to use this painful circumstance as an opportunity to share Christ with her doctor.
In the book of Philippians, we read how the apostle Paul used his difficult situationimprisonmentto preach the gospel. The Philippian believers were grieved because Paul had been arrested for preaching Jesus, but he told them that his bondage had actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel (1:12). The whole palace guard and others knew why he was in jailbecause he preached Christ. Whoever came in contact with Paul heard about Jesuswhether soldiers (who guarded him 24 hours a day, 7 days a week) or others outside. As a result of using his bad news to share the good news, some of the guards may have even become believers (4:22). Just because Paul was confined didnt mean that the gospel was confined.
As Jesus-followers, we can allow our pain to be a platform to share the gospel. In our bad news, lets find an opening to share the good news.
Read: Philippians 1:12-22
Building a bookcase? :) How kewl!
Restoring (American Restorer), a 100+year old one. When I finish it I’ll have the matching desk to restore.
Very nice project to work on! We need before/after pics. :)
