Good afternoon Tiffa, great to see you.



Funches, I would not consider it a sin, just not a good
decision for me.

As for Sci-fi - I enjoy that to an extent.

Hey tiffa......


awwww I think the fuches would convert for the sweet britty.....But then again how could you not love her dearly..

Faith is to prayer what the feather is to the arrow; without
faith it will not hit the mark. J C Ryle (1816-1900)




Prayer request:

For a christian brother, Tim, due to go for a hearing this
week to determine a compensation case due to injuries suffered
after an auto accident.

Debs,




Dear Lord, Our circumstances can seem so large at times,
but you are our source of strength. Even when our faith
seems small, Lord, you take that and multiply it with your
strength, wisdom and guidance.

We thank you, that nothing is impossible with you. Amen.

“So briefly tell everyone a little bit about you and your life!!!!”

I would like to BREIFLY tell something about the picture I have posted. That is me in a foreground and those are the flock I am charge over behind me. Ruth Priest of Fort Collins Colorado had a hobby that she had out grown. He husband was on his death bed and she had about 700 sheep she was raising to try to establish a new breed. She was looking to establish a bread of sheep for meat that would bread out of season. She also wanted to breed out some other characteristics.
I had a poster at the local livestock auction house saying that I was available to work on a farm. The dairy heard that I had been milking had been sold along with the farm for real estate. I needed to find some new place to live and work.
Ruth was at wits end when I met her. Her flock of sheep had all just lambed, (in season) and she now had about three times as many sheep as she had had a year before. (Each sheep that is a keeper, will bare twin lambs.) She needed some help.
I signed on with her explaining that I was EMT, CNA, and a farm hand all rolled into one. I could maybe help some with her ailing husband and also work the flock for her. She had a nice small ranch of just over 900 acres right at the base of the Rocky Mountains.
I took control of the sheep and started a selective breeding system that would weed out some of the traits she wanted to get rid of. There was no way to make a breed that would breed out of season. God has a set way of making sheep, and nothing man can do will change that. The best I could do was to try to selectively breed her sheep to eliminate the things she did not want. I stayed with her flock for a summer and a winter. I stayed through the lambing time. (Most sheep are born between the first of the year and Valentine’s day) She had an old Winnebago that I would drive out to the range and I would stay with the sheep through the summer. That was an enjoyable summer, just me and the flock.
That summer as a shepherd gave me a firsthand knowledge of what it was like to be abiding in the field keeping watch over the flock by night. I also find that I can identify with David.

Hi JB, good to see you.

facinating JB thanks for the share....


Ok here is one for me. I have been involved with the La Crescenta Woman's Club Juniors for 13 years now. Our club is the 2nd oldest club in the nation, as the G.F.W.C. (General Federation of Women's Clubs) Our club started in 1910 and has been at the same location ever since. We have 5 different areas in which we serve our community as well as internationally. Arts, Conservation, (my baby) Home Life, International Affairs, Public Affairs, Some of the projects that I am involved in are...Saving the Sea Otters in N. Calif, Wildlife Waystation, Saving Wild Mustangs, Pennies for Pines, where we plant local forests with new trees, Operation Smile (where doctors help kids in 3rd world countries with cleft pallets and facial deformaties) Battered Women's shelters, Operation Christmas Child, Santa For A Senior, Comfort Pillow Project, where we make animal pillows for the fire depart to carry on them for kids that are scared when their house catches fire. Our club is right now 12 wonderful hard working ladies and very beautiful friends.

Thank you Debs for sharing the info about La Crescenta Woman's Club Juniors - some very worthwhile projects there. I have seen a few programs about Operation Smile (where doctors help kids in 3rd world countries with cleft pallets and facial deformaties) - it is wonderful to see the results after the
operations and the smiles on the faces of the children.

God's Peace


God’s tender love and peace
Is what we all long for
In a world so hopelessly chaotic
So unstable and unsure

It brings stability to our minds
And calmness to our souls
For that is what we desperately need
As this world can be so cold

We need to have God’s peace
When turmoil’s in our lives
For God’s peace doesn’t depend
On the daily pressures of life

When we have those stressful days
God’s peace can often soothe
And bring us such a quiet hope
That chases away the blues

So when you feel the pressure on
Remember Jesus Christ
Receive from Him the peace He gives
As His daily dose for life!

M.S.L.

a dreary day." Thomas Kinkade.






Good morning everyone, hope you have a blessed day.

Good Morning everyone:

Hope everyone had a good night rest, as it alluded me due to Louie the Possum wanting to play all night. I guess that what happen when you take in a nocturnal animal...lol


Britty some more matches on the way....And God is so good....I got a letter from Eljay yesterday......thanks Lord God for prayer answered.....giggle.......

Hi Debs, I bet Louie the Possum can be a handful.

How is Eljay, have not heard from him in a few days?

Please keep a friend Tim in prayer, especially for tomorrow.

I posted previously;
Prayer request:

For a christian brother, Tim, due to go for a hearing this

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds." James 1:2 (NIV)

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds." James 1:2 (NIV)

Here is a poem that reflects this attitude so well. While the author is unknown, the poet obviously knows the formula for the foundation of joy.



It's sometimes very difficult
for us to understand
the wisdom and the love behind
the things that God has planned.

But we wouldn't have the rainbow
If we didn't have the rain;
We wouldn't know the pleasure
If we never tasted pain.

We wouldn't love the sunrise
If we hadn't felt the night;
And we wouldn't know our weakness
If we hadn't sensed God's might.

We couldn't have the springtime
or the yellow daffodil
if we hadn't experienced
the winter's frosty chill.

And though the brilliant sunshine
is something God has made.
He knew too much could parch our souls
so He created shade.

So God's given us a balance:
Enough joys to keep us glad,
Enough tears to keep us humble,
Enough good to balance bad.

And if you'll trust in Him you'll see
Though yesterday brought sorrow,
The clouds will part and dawn will bring
A happier tomorrow.

Will keep Tim in prayer.....

Eljay was good.....It's actually been awhile since I have talked to him....So it was nice. I want to match the britty and the Eljay...lol lol

Good heavens Debs, I know you are joking.

Eljay is a married man, am outstanding christian one at that.

Legalism

Paul letter to the Galatians points out that legalism is anything that causes us to think that we must do certain things put ourselves in a right relationship with God. We do not have to be bound by that type of thinking; Christ makes us right with God. (Gal. 5:1).

Many of us suffer the weight of guilt and shame over past sin. As a result we attempt to live perfect lives. When things go bad we scramble to discover the sin in our lives that caused God to withhold blessing. This is bondage.

We need to strive to be godly (God-honoring), but godliness isn't the elimination of sin in our lives; godliness is how we deal with the sin in our lives.

Oh goodness I did not know that.....take it back..and humbly apologize to you britty......
