HAPPY FINALLY FRIDAY!

Another long week of work. I had 5 hours overtime this past week. Yesterday brought sunshine and a high of 15 degrees still very cold. I got out at lunch time for the first time in a long while. I went to one of my favorite places – the Good Will store. Sometimes I find a treasure or two there, sometimes not, but it is fun looking around and it felt good just to get out for awhile.

Tomorrow I’ll be spending the day with my Dad again so that my sister can do her errands and things she must do at home. She’s been staying with my Dad all the time. The 14th he will go back in for a check up on the pacemaker. I think they’ll find him much improved.

That’s the news as I know it for today !

Take good care all !

Have a great day ! 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

Life is a Loaf of Bread

The Governor made room on his busy calendar to hear the pleas of one Mrs. Smith that her husband be released from the state penitentiary.

"What was he sentenced for?" asked the Governor gently. "For stealing a loaf of bread," nervously replied the offender's wife. "Is he a good husband?" asked the Governor. "No," she replied frankly, blushing a bit. "He beats me when he gets drunk, he bullies our children, he's unfaithful, and really not much good at all."

"It sounds to me as though you're better off without him," said the Governor, and continued, "Why on earth do you want him out of jail???" "Well," she explained, "we're out of bread again!"

TODAY’S WORD

plau·si·ble adjective

1. Seemingly or apparently valid, likely, or acceptable; credible: a plausible excuse.

2. Giving a deceptive impression of truth, acceptability, or reliability; specious: the plausible talk of a crafty salesperson.

TODAY’S REFLECTION

When you go to the people of Israel, tell them ‘I AM sent me to you.’

Exodus 3:14

Do you know anyone who goes around saying, “I am”? Neither do I. When we say “I am,” we always add another word. “I am happy.” “I am sad.” “I am strong.” “I am Max.”

God, however, starkly states, “I AM” and adds nothing else. God needs no descriptive word because he never changes. God is what he is. He is what he has always been.
