Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...did you and Maddi have a good day? Does she have a swimming pool yet?

[Kathy in Alaska]

I got a chance to start a little reading after we cut checks. I will be reading a LOT when I get home. Is Issa calling back the “taking the fifth” lady? Did she really screw up? I hope, I hope!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Publius...((HUGS))...hope your day went well.

[Publius]

A good day, but busy. Lots of research for Friday night’s Civil War project. Lots of You Tue videos to find. I may have to extend it into Sunday night.

[ConorMacNessa]

He is and she did. Major flub - either her attorney advised her incorrectly, which I doubt; or she didn't follow his instructions.

The better practice is for the lawyer to make an opening statement and for the witness to decline to answer any question after stating his or her name for the record.

Star Shepherd
May 23, 2013

In the spring, shepherds in Idaho move their flocks from the lowlands into the mountains. Thousands of sheep move up the passes into the high country to summer pasture.

My wife and I came across a flock on Shaw Mountain last week. It was bedded down in a meadow by a quiet stream—a picturesque scene that evoked memories of Psalm 23.

But where was the shepherd? The sheep appeared to be alone—until a few broke away from the flock and began to wander toward a distant gully. Then we heard a shrill whistle from above. Looking up, we saw the shepherd sitting high on a hill above the sheep, keeping watch over his flock. A mountain dog and two Border collies stood at his side. The dogs, responding to the shepherd’s signal, bounded down the hill and herded the drifting sheep back to the flock where they belonged.

In the same way, the Good Shepherd is watching over you. Even though you cannot see Him, He can see you! He knows you by name and knows all about you. You are the sheep of His pasture (Ezek. 34:31). God promises that He will “seek out” His sheep, “feed them in good pasture,” and “bind up the broken” (vv.12,14,16).

You can trust in God’s watchful care.

I trust in God, I know He cares for me
On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea;
Though billows roll, He keeps my soul,
My heavenly Father watches over me. —Martin

The Lamb who died to save us is the Shepherd who lives to care for us.

Read: Ezekiel 34:11-16

Why do you say, . . . “My way is hidden from the Lord”? —Isaiah 40:27

Bible in a Year:
1 Chronicles 19-21; John 8:1-27

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Luv...yes, so many sacrifices. And their govt doesn’t seem to care, nor the media.

BUT...we will ALWAYS care. God Bless them all.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Did the cameras ever show the lawyer’s face? I can imagine her marching to her own drummer. “No one can touch me.”

I WANT HER TO FALL!!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/morning, ML...((HUGS))

Did you have your bestest students today (Wednesday)?

Are they all talking about their recital?

[luvie]

Yes, indeed, Kathy, they ALWAYS have us! ;) ((((hugs))))

[Kathy in Alaska]
