  I t does not take much to lift one's spirits:  simple pleasures abound everywhere.  All we need to do is prepare the mind, look, then enjoy . ~ Brian Luke Seaward H e sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly. He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes.  He casts forth His ice as fragments; Who can stand before His cold?   He sends forth His word and melts them; He causes His wind to blow and the waters to flow.   He declares His words to Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances to Israel.   Praise the LORD! ~ Psalm 147:15-20

  Y ou can complain because roses have thorns, or you can be grateful that thorn bushes have roses. ~ Tom Wilson D o not complain against each other,   so that  you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door. ~ James 5:9

  Friday Tale - Homeless Movies   T here is a good movie playing down-town. How about let's taking in a movie tonight?" asked my wife. "I guess so." I told her.  I really did not like going to the movie theater. It was located right on the edge of a very seedy part of town. When we arrived we parked the car and started the block or so walk to the Florida Theater.   "Can you spare a dollar?" or "Can you spare some change" asked almost every person that we passed.

Michener T rust in the LORD, and do good;         so you will dwell in the land, and enjoy security.                Take delight in the LORD, and                         He will give you the desires of your heart.   -Hebrews 1:2; 2:1
