HAPPY FINALLY FRIDAY

After having a little touch of Spring in the air on Wednesday, Winter returned in the form of high Winds bringing in some more of that artic air. East of us in the snow belt they were to get more snow. Hopefully it won’t come our way.

Rain, snow, ice wind are all predicted for the weekend. We’ll just have to wait and see what we get. As far as I know my weekend will be a repeat of last week with nothing special on the calendar.

Of course all our days are special ones. We are blessed more often than not.

Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

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’S SMILE

HE'S WATCHING

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables, and when he picked up a CD player to place in his sack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, "Jesus is watching you."

He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight out, and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, promised himself a vacation after the next big score, then clicked the light on and began searching for more valuables. Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard, "Jesus is watching you."

Freaked out, he shone his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally,in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot. "Did you say that?" He hissed at the parrot. "Yep," the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you."

The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?"

"Moses," replied the bird. "Moses?" the burglar laughed. "What kind of people would name a bird Moses?"

"The kind of people that would name a Rottweiler Jesus."

TODAY’S REFLECTION

May our Lord Jesus Christ himself…encourage you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say.

2 Thessalonians 2:16

Are you still in love with Jesus? Before you remember anything, remember him. If you forget anything, don’t forget him.

Has it been a while since you stared at the heavens in speechless amazement? Has it been a while since you realized God’s divinity and your carnality?

If it has, then you need to know something. He is still there. He hasn’t left.
