Howdy, lauren. *HUGZ*
Everything ok after the chaos in your neck o’ da woods the past several days?
Wacky for sure!
Had to evacuate our outdoor festival both Friday and Saturday nights. Glad everyone was safe!
Hope you’re doing well, and have a terrific Tuesday!
We had a wet weekend so yardwork was put on hold. I didn't do much over the weekend but son was over last night for dinner and hanging out.
How was your weekend?
I heard you had to evacuate the event both nights over the weekend. Sounded pretty rough. Glad to hear everyone was safe.
At least you’re getting a break from today’s mess. Pretty rough in northern OK. Been watching several storm chasers and one has a tornado onscreen now.
We’re expecting some yeeha over here the next three days.
A rough Spring for a lot of folks.
Thank you for today's Road Trip: Camp Parks, California.
Thanks, unique, for the road trippers!

Hiya, PRO!
Got a break this weekend, did ya? Wet weather will put the kibosh on yardwork, that’s for sure. Same problem here.
Sounds like last night was fun, at least, hangin’ out with your son.
A pretty quiet weekend here. FReepmail coming.
Howdy, Kathy.
I hope your week’s getting off on decent footing. No monkey wrenches thrown in the cogs.
Sure is nice to see Lake Hood ICE FREE. Lots of seaplanes taking off and landing.
And I saw RAIN on the cam last night and earlier today. WOOHOO! Y’all needed that.
Evening, everyone!
Bible in a Year :
We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.
Decades ago, I went to a college retreat where everyone was talking about a personality test. “I’m an ISTJ!” one said. “I’m an ENFP,” another chirped. I was mystified. “I’m an ABCXYZ,” I joked. Â
Since then, I’ve learned a lot about that test (the Myers-Briggs) and others such as the DiSC assessment. I find them fascinating because they can help us understand ourselves and others in helpful, revealing ways—shedding light on our preferences, strengths, and weaknesses. Provided we don’t overuse them, they can be a useful tool God uses to help us grow.
Scripture doesn’t offer us personality tests. But it does affirm each person’s uniqueness in God’s eyes (see Psalm 139:14-16; Jeremiah 1:5), and it shows us how God equips all of us with a unique personality and unique gifts to serve others in His kingdom. In Romans 12:6, Paul begins to unpack this idea, when he says, “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.”
Those gifts, Paul explains, are not for us alone but for the purpose of serving God’s people, Christ’s body (v. 5). They’re an expression of His grace and goodness, working in and through all of us. They invite each of us to be a unique vessel in God’s service. .
Reflect & Pray
What gifts has God given you to serve others? If you’re not sure what your gifts are, who might help you get a better sense of those God-given gifts?
Father, thank You for the gifts You’ve given me. Please help me to embrace the ways You’ve equipped me to love and serve others in Your kingdom.
Find out how you can understand yourself and others.
Howdy, luvie.
Has it cooled off enough for you to be able to enjoy some patio time this evening?
Hey there, radu!
It’s still about 83 but feels pretty good. However, the wind has blown all day, and it’s still a bit too breezy to be comfy for me out there. Maybe a bit later.
How were things there? Heard there were tornadoes somewhere in TN. Any near you? Did you get out on your patio?
