LOL@ Al!

Final (but probably not finally), even though I didn't do it prior to now, I certainly would like to have wished Margit and Jeanne happy birthdays.  I have an excuse, though.  Birthdays are not a celebration of age, but are a celebration of the fact that God brought the celebrant into the world - it's a celebration of thanksgiving for that person's coming into this world as a blessing from God.  Both Margit and Jeanne are blessings from God, and I celebrate (even a day late) their coming!

Al, I do believe both Jeanne and Margit came into this world slightly longer ago than one day!   Sorry, I didn't even try to resist saying that!

We will be leaving early in the morning.  I hope we have a great time visiting with family, and thank you, Larry and others for the good wishes.  Beth is not doing well at all today, so we may just get something to go and eat on the road tomorrow, and not stop except for gas and "necessary" stops.  It is really hard work to get her into and out of the pickup.  I will take along a little stepstool, but she still needs a lot of help.  Her left foot/leg wouldn't move at all this afternoon.

I'm going to watch the news now, may return later!

karmat:  This will be a well-loved baby!  Keep us up on the checkups!

Janet:  It must be so difficult for you, as the mother, to watch Beth struggle to walk.  My prayers for you and the entire family.  Enjoy your family visit. 

Pat:  Thanks for your song about lifting burdens.

Liz - thanks for reading my blog, and thanks for letting me know that you do.  Sometimes my opinions there are a little more forceful and controversial than I feel is appropriate to discuss here, but I hope you won't hold that against me.  It's a real "pressure outlet" for me sometimes, but I try to write some positive stuff too

Hello, everyone.  Sonja, your new pic reminded me that I need to do something different with my own. 

Ria, thanks for the great little devotionals you post. 

Janet, the opponents of "under God" will never rest until they find a new pawn to manipulate into bringing suit, so, if it means anything to us, we all need to get off our laurels and email, write, and call every representative we have to make sure that they know our opinions and preferences.  While we may think that "bothering" a Congressman or Senator does no good, that is not always true.  I guarantee you that the OTHER side is in close contact, and this is a method of "influencing" government that MOST Christians never avail themselves of.  If anyone doesn't know how to contact their representatives,  http://www.conservativeusa.org/mega-cong.htm is a good source, along with http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/. 

I suppose that's a little bit of a political plug, so forgive me if you don't agree with my viewpoint on issues.  Even if we disagree, I encourage all of you to keep your elected officials on their toes.  It's part of the process. 

Okay, so that's my soapbox for the day.  Sorry!

Love you guys in Jesus!

HAHAHA!!!  Just slightly, Janet! 

Well, I want to let you folks know I've managed to get one of Neil's sites at PhotoSense and I'm as pleased as can be.   It's not much yet, but I do have a few pictures posted.

Jeanne I have been to your photo site and voted on some of your photos.

Nards do you get to read the comments prople make on  your blogs. website.?

Stopping in for a minute.  I posted a couple of photo's under Monthly Challenge.  Sort of getting the hang of this now...!

This has been a sunny day, so went outside and painted some metal thingamajigs for Wendy's plants. They are to hang plants and are very old.  She had them sandblasted and now it is my problem.  Gad!!  When all is over, will take a picture of them.

Nards, I surely admire people who speak their minds and you do it with grace.  Keep up the good prose.

Read all the posts and my day is the better for having done.
Pleasant dreams all.

God Bless,
Liz

Marilyn, Yes, he can see the comments.  If others want to, they can see the comments by clicking on them.

About going to pick up that young man.  You did exactly the right thing.  Aside from the danger of driving that far by your self at night to a place you are not familiar  with, there is also the "appearance of evil" stuff to grapple with.  A reporter once asked Billy Graham why he had never been the object of a sex scandal.  Never even a rumor.  He said that he made sure never to be seen alone with a woman except his wife.  (even his daughters, in case someone didn't know them).  If he were on an elevator, or was getting on one, and it presented a situation where he would be alone with a woman, he would get off or wait for the next one.  There was simply no one that could ever accuse him. 

I am tired and scatterbrained.  I had other stuff to write and have completely forgotten it.  Ugh.

Anyway.  Have a good night.  Take care and I'll be back in the morning, Lord willing.

Hi Everyone and thank you Pat for the devotional.

Have a long day tomorrow.    Good night and God Bless

Thanks to Karma, Larry and Papa John for reausrring me that I did the right thing about that phone call. When I went there today it was like nothing had happened. He was there  and on his best behavior. Bea wasn't feeling very well today please keep her in prayer.

Nite now.

I have a long day tomorrow so if I'm absent, that's why.  I must go to Toronto.

I'll be home later on though.
