You’re welcome, and I’m sorry that things seem to be sliding into disaster. You definitely need a vacation! :)
I would have missed it to had not my hubby been watching that show nearly every day lately. LOL! Great score, though!
11 of 11 here ...
Hey there, radu! Great score!
Are ya still on the coolish side of things? Has been here, but I ain’t complainin’!
WooHooo....perfect score for you! Sooo genius!
This time. :D
Awesome perfect score!
Howdy, luvie.
It’s been somewhat warm the past few days but it’s going to be cold tonight and cool the next couple of days.
We’ll both warm up this weekend, though you’ll be a bit on the toasty side.
Howdy, Kathy.
Sure would be nice to see some sunshine up there, wouldn’t it? I imagine y’all are sick and tired of gray skies. At least it’s still warm enough for melting.
Almost Hump Day. Hang in there!
I did just notice we were within a couple of degrees of each other. Yeah, it’s supposed to be 89-ish on Sunday. I’m totally not ready for that. But it’s coming, so I might as well buckle up.
Did you have much tree debris after your high winds? Hope not!
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
9/11. Bonus question: In which branch did Jonas Grumby serve?
Great score....and who the heck is Jonas Grumby? LOL!
Bible in a Year :
Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit.
Cindy was excited for her new job in a nonprofit company. What an opportunity to make a difference! She soon discovered her coworkers didn’t share her enthusiasm. They mocked the company’s mission and made excuses for their poor performance as they looked elsewhere for more lucrative positions. Cindy wished she’d never applied for this job. What looked great from afar was disappointing up close.
This was Jesus’ problem with the fig tree mentioned in today’s story (Mark 11:13). It was early in the season, yet the tree’s leaves signaled it might have early figs. Nope. The tree had sprouted leaves, but it hadn’t yet produced fruit. Disappointed, Jesus cursed the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again” (v. 14). By the next morning the tree had entirely withered (v. 20).
Christ once fasted forty days, so He knew how to go without food. Cursing the fig tree was not about His appetite. It was an object lesson. The tree represented Israel, which had the trappings of true religion but had lost the point. They were about to kill their Messiah, the Son of God. How more barren could they be?
We may look good from afar, but Jesus comes near, looking for fruit that only His Spirit can produce. Our fruit need not be spectacular. But it must be supernatural, such as love, joy, and peace in hard times (Galatians 5:22). Relying on the Spirit, we can bear fruit even then for Jesus. .
Reflect & Pray
What fruit do others see in you? How might you be more fruitful?
Holy Spirit, prune me so I might bear more fruit.
8 of 11 for me. I was too quick to pick Air Force instead of Army Air Force in the beginning. Well, looks like latrine duty for me.
It was 60 degrees and still a little drizzly this afternoon when I headed out for an appointment, and when I left the appointment it was sunny and 67. When this front moved out, it was abruptly. Not a cloud in the sky just like that. But with no clouds, the temp started dropping pretty quick when the sun went down.
Maybe 60 tomorrow and mid 60s Thursday, then 70 and above through the weekend.
I feel for ya with those high 80s this weekend. Just too soon for that!
Not too much tree debris but it’s there. Had to stop to move a branch that was in the middle of the driveway when I headed out this afternoon.
It was definitely nice to wake up to NO wind today.
Howdy, Rus! Is it still snowing up there? I think you might have winter for summer this year. Ugh!
Great score, nonetheless. Tlhanks for taking the quiz!
Not my best but I’ll take it!
Can you match these TV shows to the correct military branch?
You got 9 out of 11
Ok. I didn’t know that was his name. LOL!
