A Thought to Ponder

 

 

For the time is come that judgement must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be to them that obey not the gospel of God? 1Peter 4:17 KJV

EMILY CAT

I just wanted to share with you all that our Emily cat died last night at 8:45 pm. Emily had been fighting cancer, we think, for the last 2-3 months. We've been giving her medication twice daily since the end of September. She had still been eating, drinking water, walking around, and sitting in my lap especially when I was working at the computer. We adopted Emily in October of 1996 when she was two years old. We buried her this morning under the magnolia tree in our back yard close to Tabby & Baby cats. It is always like losing a member of the family.......

Item featured in hand-picked list

We are honored to have one of our items featured in the hand-picked list, "Mama, I found me a cowboy!" at our Bonanzle auction site now through October 18th.

Roy & Dale Museum

I just received an e-mail announcing that the Roy Rogers & Dale Evans Museum in Branson, Mo is closing permanently in December. The family said that the uncertain economy and the declining attendance over the last two years had forced the decision. Roy & Dale had a good influence on several young generations. It is sad to see much of their legacy lost.

EASTER

It was once said:

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."

And another:

"But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed."

But then this:

"He is not here, but is risen."

May everyone have a good Easter.

PEACE IN A CHAOTIC WORLD

 

 

 



"Be careful for nothing;
but in every thing by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving
let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts
and minds
through Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:6-7

OF PATIENCE & PROMISES

 

 

 



"Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry." Hebrews 10:35-37

Roy Rogers

I had the chance to meet Jay Silverheels [Tonto] at the Lions Bluegrass Fair in Lexington back in the middle 60s when I was around 10 years old. My Dad handled the advertising for the Fair and the family went the night Jay was headlined. I chickened out, but my Mom got Jay's autograph. I understand that he was quite a successful businessman. My real childhood hero, however, was Roy Rogers. He and Dale made quite an impact on my early years. Actually, they still are impacting my life. I just ran across another of Dale's books at an anitques show this past weekend. It is a collection of letters to her son, Tom, that was released back in 1957. Even years after she is gone, she is "helping" me through the horrific spiritual valleys where I currently walk.

Lone Ranger

The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert. After they got their tent all set up, both men fell sound asleep. > > Some hours later, Tonto woke the Lone Ranger and said, > "Kemo Sabe, look at sky. What you see?" > > The Lone Ranger replied, "I see millions of stars." > > "What that tell you?" asked Tonto. > > The Lone Ranger pondered for a minute and then said, > "Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. > Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. >Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. >Theologically, the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. >Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. >What's it tell you, Tonto?" > > "You dumber than buffalo patties. It mean someone stole tent.

SPRING

 

 

 



Spring is only 23 days away. It begins on March 20th. Can't wait, myself.

"The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come."
