Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

A while back, an Emmy award-winning actress took a courageous stand and walked out in the middle of the Annual American Music Awards ceremony. Her reason? She grew increasingly upset and disappointed by what she described as “an onslaught of lewd jokes and off-color remarks” and raw and raunchy comments by presenters, performers, and hosts. She said the evening was an affront to anyone with a shred of dignity and self-respect.
Unwholesome speech was a problem even in the apostle Paul’s day. He reminded the Christians at Ephesus that they should put away vulgarity, lewdness, slander, and obscene talk from their lives (Eph. 5:4; Col. 3:8). These were expressions of their old lives (1 Cor. 6:9-11), and it was now out of place with their new identity in Christ. Instead, their lives were to be characterized by wholesome speech. Their good or wholesome words would give grace to the hearers (Eph. 4:29). The Holy Spirit would help guard their speech, convict of any filthy talk, and help them to use words to benefit others (John 16:7-13).
We are called to reflect God with all we are, and that includes our words. May our mouths be filled with thanksgiving and words that benefit others.
Read: Ephesians 4:25-32

Hi Kathy
I’m a jeep. I love hanging out with my old college friends. Even though it’s been 30 years, we get along like it was yesterday. They are like brothers to me.

What Is Your Summer Ride?
Well, I didn’t take the test but my summer, autumn, winter, spring ride is my maroon ‘89 Mustang Convertible. Top down in the warm weather and when it gets super hot I turn on the AC. I’ve owned this car since ‘91 and have no desire to sell it. I’ve replaced the top once and have a few maintenance issues I must address and it needs a new paint job.
Salute to all my fellow Veterans and all active duty
Armed Forces Personell. I couldn’t be more proud of each and everyone.

I mean, come on. I love summer but I see myself in
an Audi convertible, or
a Camaro convertible, or
a BA pickup truck with the windows down...
but a Beetle? Maybe for work and gas mileage.
Going to move into lurker mode.
Still have a few things to catch up on before Friday.
But, please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops and their families entertained.
