HAPPY SUNDAY !!
Good news this Sunday morning, the car is back in my garage here at home and works like a dream. I’ll be going over bumps much smoother now. And since I got that spring fixed in my car my gas mileage has increased too!
Yesterday our ‘NEWLY WEDS ‘ got all moved into their new home. I talked to DS#6 in the evening and he said everything went pretty smoothly. The campers got their campers closed up for the winter and sent pictures of the new campsites. I’ll be putting those in my journal page(Good Morning Sunshine) as one of the sites shown in the pictures is where I hope to camp next year.
I spoke with DS#5 too and he’s doing his caricatures at a benefit for someone today quite a ways away, so we’ll be praying for a safe trip for him.
I’m off to church for my weekly dose of R&R today and then home to get ready for a new work week once more.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY’S PRAYERS
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.

Symptoms of Inner Peace
Be on the lookout for symptoms of inner peace. The hearts of great people have already been exposed to inner peace, and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world.
Some Signs and Symptoms of Inner Peace
A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences
An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment
A loss of interest in judging other people
A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others
A loss of interest in judging self
A loss of interest in conflict
A loss of ability to worry (A very serious symptom!)
Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation
Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature
Frequent attacks of smiling
An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than to make them happen
An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it
Warning!
If you have some or all of the above symptoms, please be advised that your condition of inner peace may be so far advanced as to not be curable.
If you are exposed to anyone exhibiting any of these symptoms, remain exposed at your own risk!

TODAY’S REFLECTION
That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It is the Lord!
John 21:7
A man showed up at church with his ears painfully blistered. After the service, his concerned pastor asked "What in the world happened to you?"
The man replied, "I was lying on the couch yesterday afternoon watching a ball game on TV and my wife was ironing nearby. I was totally engrossed in the game when she left the room, leaving the iron near the phone. The phone rang and keeping my eyes glued to the television, I grabbed the hot iron and put it to my ear."
"So how did the other ear get burned?" the pastor asked. "Well, I had no more than hung up and the guy called again."
Now there is a man who was focused. He was so caught up in watching the game, he didn't know what he was doing. In our lesson for today the disciples of Jesus have lost their focus.
They are confused and weary. They needed a break. They have been through so much. They had seen their Master crucified on a cruel cross. It was the lowest point in their lives. They had invested everything they had into following him--including three years of their lives.
When they saw him nailed between two thieves, it was as if everything they had worked for was futile and without meaning. No one could know their pain and disillusionment. Then the women had gone to the tomb on the first day of the week and found the stone rolled away and the body gone.
It was then they discovered that their Master was alive. Now each of them had seen him with their own eyes. Still, it was a bit too much for them to deal with mentally and emotionally.
They wanted to believe, but it was like they were in a dream. It was too much, too soon
Will we be focused today, so that we will see the Lord?
