Catch and Release!

Caught a raccoon that like to eat our cat food.

Got a new billy goat (his name is Sammy).

 Same old Pal.

Same old Dot!

Sunday Scripture

Love is patient, love is kind.  Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud.  Love is not rude, is not selfish, and does not get upset with others.  Love does not count up wrongs that have been done.  Love is not happy with evil but is happy with truth.  Love patiently accepts all things.  It always trusts, always hopes, and always remains strong.

Love never ends.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Feeding Five Thousand

I'm sure most of us have heard the story about Jesus feeding the Five thousand with five loaves of bread and two fish.  But I wonder if you noticed in Luke 9:13, after the disciples had come up to Jesus telling him it was getting late and they didn't have any food to feed them so he should tell them to go home.


Then Jesus said to them, "You give them something to eat."


Can you imagine?


There are five thousand people and Jesus tells you to feed them.  So of course, they started telling him they couldn't, there wasn't enough food unless they went to buy some.  And they didn't have enough money to feed that large of a crowd.


After he heard them he told them to gather the crowds and sit them together in groups of around 50 people.  The disciples did as Jesus said and divided up the 5 loaves and 2 fish and managed to feed the crowd with 12 baskets left over.


Were you listening, he said for YOU to feed them, maybe it's time we started paying a little more attention to what Jesus is telling us.

Does this mean you have to sell your car, or do something totally drastic, not unless the Spirit tells you, but I think it probably wouldn't hurt any of us to go just a little out of our comfort zone to show God's love to someone.

First Days!

Today is the first day of school.  


This morning on our way to school we prayed.  We prayed for a good day, a good attitude, and the ability to make good choices.


Remember first days, remember what it's like when you walk into a class but you don't see anyone you know.  That's when we need to remember the Golden rule.  Treat others the way you want to be treated.


Of course that doesn't just apply to kids in school but to everyone, especially adults.  I am just as guilty as anyone else of getting in a hurry and focusing only on what I have going on.  


Wouldn't the world be a lot nicer if everyone remembered the Golden Rule.

Sunday Scripture

A gently answer will calm a person's anger,

but an unkind answer will cause more anger.

God is Good, 
All the Time!!!!!


I can tell a difference in my attitude if I don't make time for Jesus everyday.


Find the happiness where you can, if you can't find it, make your own!
