Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders. Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they
protect us. Bless them and their families
for the selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior
TODAY IS...SIDE WALK FRYING DAY !
Have you heard that old saying, "It's hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk!"? Well, it can definitely be done. If the temperature at your house gets up to 95 degrees F (that's 35 degrees C), the heat reflected off the cement will cook like your kitchen stove. At temperatures a bit lower, you just need to be creative. Use a mirror or a piece of aluminum foil to heat it up a notch. And one final hint: don't eat the final product
IT'S DEFINITELY BEEN HOT ENOUGH TO FRY SOMETHING ON OUR SIDEWALKS !

TODAY'S SMILE
A man and his wife had been debating the purchase of a new auto for weeks. He wanted a new truck. She wanted a fast little sports car so she could zip through traffic around town.
He would have settled on a used truck, but everything she seemed to like was way out of their price range.
"Look!" she said. "I want something that goes from 0 to 200 in 4 seconds or less. And my birthday is coming up. You could surprise me!"
For her birthday, he bought her a brand new bathroom scale.
Assault charges are pending . . . .

TODAY'S REFLECTION
Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood; Deuteronomy 29:18
Just like trying weed those pesky things we don't want in our garden, our lives sometimes need to be weeded out too...we have to dig deep around the roots of the problem On some days, I have a bad habit of putting off the most important tasks that I must tackle. Finally, I force myself to start the project, but in a couple of days procrastination crops up again. If I stop and dig deeper around the edges of this habit, I find that it is rooted in a fear that I won’t do a good job or that I won’t adequately meet someone else’s expectations. What if I dig out my fear of failure and surrender it to God in prayer?
from some thoughts found in our Daily Guideposts
Compost should be watered during dry periods so that it can remain active
66 DAYS UNTIL AUTUMN !
Delight yourself in the Lord
and He will give you the desires of your Heart
Psalm 37:4
I Love You All !!!
Be Blessed !!!
