Hooray for two day weekends. :-)

I'm afraid all the other gadgets are beyond our price range. Sattelite and the new wireless through the phone cell towers... We'll have to wait until cable comes out our way or DSL but I don't think it will be soon. The guy who hooked up our Direct TV used to work for Bell South, he says there is no way, not enough homes out here even if everyone of us wanted DSL. :-(

Good lesson today Mayor, thanks.

Loading the charge. Note now dead Leapster.

Heartprints

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: MP3

READ: Acts 9:36-43

Dorcas . . . was full of good works and charitable deeds. —Acts 9:36

We leave fingerprints on doorknobs, on books, on walls, on keyboards. Each person’s fingerprints are unique, so we leave our identity on everything we touch. Some supermarkets are even testing a technology that allows customers to pay by fingerprint. Each customer’s unique print and bank account number are kept on file so that the only thing needed to pay a bill is a scan of their finger.

A woman in the early church left another kind of print—a “heartprint.” Dorcas touched many people’s lives through her unique gift of sewing and giving away garments. She’s described as “full of good works and charitable deeds” (Acts 9:36). We too are to be “zealous for good works” (Titus 2:14). We each have a unique heartprint that can touch another.

An unknown author wrote this prayer about encouraging others: “O God, wherever I go today, help me leave heartprints! Heartprints of compassion, understanding, and love. Heartprints of kindness and genuine concern. May my heart touch a lonely neighbor or runaway daughter or anxious mother or even an aged grandfather. Send me out today to leave heartprints. And if someone should say, ‘I felt your touch,’ may that one sense Your love touching through me.”

Will you make this your prayer today? —Anne Cetas

Just what do Christians look like?
What sets their lives apart?
They’re ordinary people
Who love God from the heart.  —D. De Haan

People with a heart for God have a heart for people.

Bible in One Year:   Ezekiel 18-19; James 4

That my FRiend is a piece of coal mining aparatus being moved from one mine to another in Germany.

It was determined to be cheaper to drive it cross country than to disassemble it, move the pieces and reassemble.

[Peanut Gallery]

It's an excavator used for open mining. I snagged the photo from the NASA website. Apparently, the holes these things dig can be seen from outer space.

[snippy_about_it]

LOL. Good night.

[snippy_about_it]

Cool!

[snippy_about_it]

"What the???" Wow,

[snippy_about_it]

Just Wow. Thanks for the explanation.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Foxhole residents and visitors. Sam and I will be away from the computer for the long weekend. Take care, enjoy and we are certainly thankful this Thanksgiving and every day for all of our Foxhole family and for our troops and veterans.

Sam and Snippy

Does this thing really fly, and if so where is it headed? I want plenty of warning to get out of Dodge before it grinds its way through NY.
