Howdy, Liberty!
How are things with you these days? Very well, I hope.
Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))
Did your new scanner arrive? Did the delivery schedule work out with your lake plans?
Howdy, Kathy.
I reckon you are MORE than ready for the weekend. :-)
We found a dead owl in the lake while we were there yesterday. We also ran in the tall grass. We had a great time out there.
BTW I see that your area is in an enhanced risk for severe weather today. You guys stay safe over there.
Sounds like you had a banner day .... well, except for finding the dead owl. Being a bird lover, that makes me sad.
Yes, we have some storms coming through here later today and things could get dicey. They keep changing their minds about when the storms will hit our area but last I heard, it will be around 7 to 8 pm.
It looks a bit soggy in OK right now.
It does and we have a line of showers with some winds coming in from the Panhandle. We’ll see how this all works out.
Usually just lurk here. Love these music themes!
Hai and Good Morning Kathy (((HUGS))) - I’m scheduled and so far the WX reports look good for the weekend.
Bible in a Year: Deuteronomy 8–10; Mark 11:19–33
You are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt. Deuteronomy 10:19 Today's Scripture & Insight:
When my friends lived in Moldova, one of the poorest countries in Europe, they were overwhelmed by the warm welcome they received there, especially from other Christians. Once they took some clothes and provisions to a couple from their church who were very poor, yet who were fostering several children. The couple treated my friends like honored guests, giving them sweet tea and, despite their protests, something to eat. As my friends left with gifts of watermelons and other fruits and vegetables, they marveled at the hospitality they experienced.
These believers embody the welcome that God commanded His people, the Israelites, to exhibit. He instructed them “to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul” (Deuteronomy 10:12). How could the Israelites live this out? The answer comes a few verses later: “You are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt” (v. 19). By welcoming strangers, they would be serving and honoring God; and in showing them love and care, they would demonstrate their trust in Him.
Our circumstances might differ from the Moldovans or the Israelites, but we too can live out our love for God through our welcome to others. Whether through opening our homes or smiling a greeting to those we meet, we can extend God’s care and hospitality in a lonely, hurting world.
When you receive the gift of hospitality, how does that affect you? When you think about welcoming someone, does a specific person come to mind?
I want to thank the man who made this award possible for me.....Joey Ramone.
He only ate pepperoni pizza.
Welcome back
Joey was a hoot
