HAPPY FRIDAY !!
Yesterday, Valentines Day, turned out to be a somewhat calm and sunny day. Temps got up to the mid 30’s and I think that is more the way Winter should be. The ‘Newlyweds’ sent a beautiful bunch of tulips to me at work and that was a wonderful surprise. I left them there so I can look at a touch of ‘Springtime’ at work today, but I’ll bring them home this evening.
Today after work I’m going to stop at a church down the street and pick up a fish dinner for supper. They had their sign out when I came home from work yesterday saying they were having baked fish all the Fridays of Lent. I got their dinners a few times last year and they were very good.
Hopefully, I’ll make it to the Stations of the Cross this evening at 7. I didn’t go last week because it was very cold and snowy out. However, it is supposed to snow again today so we’ll see…
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.
GOD BLESS YOU !
25 WORDS
God, I thank You for today, for the ways You will bless me, and for the ways that I will serve others in Your name
TO REMEMBER…
I am in the hands of God, and in God’s time all things will be made well.

TODAY’S SMILE
Minnesota Ghost
This happened about a month ago just outside of Wilmar, a little town in the back country of Minnesota, and while it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock take, it's real.
This out of state traveler was on the side of the road, hitchhiking on a real dark night in the middle of a thunderstorm. Time passed slowly and no cars went by. It was raining so hard he could hardly see his hand in front of his face. Suddenly he saw a car moving slowly, approaching and appearing ghostlike in the rain. It slowly and silently crept toward him and stopped.
Wanting a ride real bad the guy jumped in the car and closed the door; only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the wheel, and no sound of an engine to heard over the rain. Again the car crept slowly forward and the guy was terrified, too scared to think of jumping out and running.
The guy saw that the car was approaching a sharp curve and, still to scared to jump out, he started to pray and begin begging for his life; he was sure the ghost car would go off the road and into a nearby lake and he would surely drown. But just before the curve a shadowy figure appeared at the drivers window and a hand reached in and turning the steering wheel, guiding the car safely around the bend.
Then, just as silently, the hand disappeared through the window and the hitchhiker was alone again! Paralyzed with fear, the guy watched the hand reappear every time they reached a curve. Finally the guy, scared to near death, had all he could take and jumped out of the car and ran and ran, into a town, into Wilmar.
Wet and in shock, he went into a bar and voice quivering, ordered two shots of whiskey, then told everybody about his supernatural experience. A silence enveloped and everybody got goose bumps when they realized the guy was telling the truth ( and not just some drunk).
About a half an hour later two guys walked into the bar and one says to the other, " Look Ole, ders dat idiot that rode in our car when we wuz pushin' it in the rain."
TODAY’S WORD

TODAY’S REFLECTION
In the time of my favor I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you.
Isaiah 49
Does it seem that your prayer has not been heard? Are you waiting for an answer, but seem to get none? Don't be discouraged, for God's timing is different from ours When you go to God in prayer, trust him completely, for he will answer you.
If you are afraid, ask the Lord for courage. Then believe that he has given it to you, and you will get it. Open your eyes to the changes you begin to see. Feel the courage seep into your heart and you will be invigorated and ready to face the challenges of the day. Not only will you change, but you will see events occur that you could never expect

Psalm 37:4
May there be a miracle in YOUR life today and may you have the EYES to SEE it!
