I just realized the other day you guys are in Georgia. I hardly ever get on any more and thought I would check in with my old buddies to see if they were still around. I noticed on your profile you had moved. You are only a few hours away. I hope, Lord willing, we can meet soon. That would be wonderful!!! Do you like where you're at? We moved to Tampa in August.
God bless!
Long time no see! We're about an hour north of Tallahassee, give us a call if you get up this way.
How're things going for you?
Regards

He, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" —Luke 10:29 In the movie The Four Feathers, Harry Faversham left England in the 1880s to search for his friends in the King's army in the Sudan. In his quest, Harry got lost and was near death in the vast deserts of Africa. Then, as his life was ebbing away, he was rescued by an African, Abou Fatma, who cared for him.
Stunned by the man's kindness to a stranger, Harry asked why his new friend had done so much for him. Fatma's response was direct: "God put you in my way!"
In the parable of the Good Samaritan, a priest and a religious scholar, whose calling was to help the downtrodden, ignored the need of a fallen traveler who had been left to die on the Jericho Road. A hated Samaritan, however, gave his time and resources to help the hurting man, displaying Christ's compassion. He bandaged his wounds, brought him to an inn, "and took care of him" (Luke 10:34). The ravaged man had been put in the way of all three travelers, but only the Samaritan responded.
As we move through life, we are challenged to respond to the needs of people. We will either show them Christ's love or be indifferent. How will we respond to those God chooses to put in our way?

I commend to you Phoebe, . . . for indeed she has been a helper of many and of myself also. —Romans 16:1-2
Counting your blessings promotes good physical health, according to a study by some US doctors. Volunteers who kept weekly gratitude journals reported fewer aches and pains than those who recorded daily hassles or neutral events.
A "gratitude visit" was developed by Dr. Martin E. P. Seligman to promote strong emotional health. He tells people to think of someone who has made an important difference in their lives. He asks them to write the story of how that person has helped them, and then to visit that person and read the story aloud. Tests show that a year later the people who had done so were happier and reported fewer episodes of depression. Even more important, think of what it must have done for those who were thanked!
The apostle Paul had a long list of people who had helped him and for whom he was grateful (Rom. 16:1-16). He wrote that Phoebe had "been a helper," Priscilla and Aquila had "risked their own necks" for his life, and Mary had "labored much" for him. And he took time to write his thanks in a letter to the church at Rome.
Who has helped to shape your life? Could you make a gratitude visit—for their sake, and for yours?

Morning all.
I like that cell phone PE. Need one like that.
I've seen more rain in the last week than I've seen in the last 2 years total. Obviously I'm not in Texas anymore. LOL
That is a great photo alfa6!
Doc says there's no reason I shouldn't have another 30 years in this beat up old shell. :-)
Thanks alfa6. Good pic. :-)
Another movie I wish would get translated and shown here. Any news on the "Warsaw Uprising" movie?
