Mike isn’t this THE DAY, anyway A HAPPY BIRTHDAY from Your equally old mucker from Calgary, have one for the stomachs sake for me. 🎉🎉🎂🎂🎉🎉 ,thanks for the time spent on site management, sometimes leaving school early has it’s benefits 🤣🤣🤣, So have a good day you are in our prayers Romans 8-18.

Thanks Kerry, a good Word, plenty for my feed bag.

Mike I'll leave the techno stuff in your capable hands but I can send you my old computers for dummies book if needed     

Rita, "How's our hockey team" a moot point at the moment, the 'management' changed our old porous goalie for a more expensive one, who has proved that he is even a greater porous one.

Glad spring has sprung for you, our spring greeting has been another snowy day this morning.
Fortunately my son in law is the garden maintenance man and his approach and mine are poles apart.
Made me smile about' washing on the line', during the war my dad would be away and I would have to pass mum wooden pegs for pinning the laundry.

Where will your cruise be taking you and B- cake with your bro' what is not to like!!!!

Sorry to hear about the friendship thing, it does take the wind out of ones sails but He is with us in these storm, I just read this morning, 'pray for those who despitefully use you' easy for me to write.

WAAAAAAAY back when, we knew a family who the Lord miraculously healed their baby of Meningitis, a bunch of nurses prayed around it's cot through the night.
Authenticated by amazed doctors.

Mike had a few meetings with the old sally Ann back in the day.    

Thanks RITA nice to get a feminine insight, does your grand daughter get any help from local sources?
Our friends mind is very much negative and like a roundabout replays the past.

Kerry I enjoyed what you shared, I’ve reread it a couple of times but have had no flow for a reply BUT I’m working on it.🤔🤔🤔.

Never been a great lover of Zucchini but Helen found this grated cheese sliced Zucchini grilled recipe and we are hooked, plus it gives a nice sleep induced nap feeling 😔😔😔.

It seems in this life that it consists very much with the question "WHY".

Why did the the Lord have a two trees and a serpent in the garden, would 'man' have made better choices with no serpent and no trees?.

Because there is a lot of 'WHY" it very often develops into WHY me.
Unfortunately in most cases 'why me' is a question with no answer.
I write to a lady who's 'why me's' totally ruin her life, she's stuck with questions and seemingly no answers, a victim mentality rules her.
The only way out of 'why me' is 'what now.'
You don't heal by replaying what hurt you, you can decide to stop carrying it, what happened probably can not be undone and certainly not by continually revisiting in your mind.
Is there a path forward, we accept some things , maybe a lot of things seem to have no reason.
Is it possible to accept the hurt and move forward to heal??
I'm sure as you read this as a christian you can fill in with scripture stuff I could have written the chapter and verse.
Until she can release those hurts, there is no peace.
She is also Autistic which compounds her problem. I would value any wisdom and if the Lord lays her on your heart for prayer.

Not convinced it's a once for all thing, Paul seemed to be more of a "I die daily " type.
In our early walk pretty much every meeting had a "I surrender all" ending, it was at a meeting on Hastings pier as we went forward again, I said to Helen that this was my last surrender going forward.

On retrospect maybe, the 'I surrender all' felt better than the dying daily Selah.

Mike the pews in this church bring back some fond and not so fond memories of preaching and listening in some of England's green and pleasant country churches.

A sad story Whitney Houston she left to soon unfortunately, Kerry the Carters I think were a bit before my Christian journey but I loved those guitars and their song.

At our old neighborhood there was a garden hedge that I passed when walking the dog, on extremely cold days on a rough count there was an assembly of about 20 to30 sparrows in the hedge huddled together, they must have sensed we were no threat as they just hopped back and forth, never did see one fall.

Ps 119 vs 98 was penned saying, “ Thou through thy commandments hast ‘ made’ me wiser than my enemies: for they are ever with me ‘
So who is ‘wise’ in this day, when rights and privileges over rule obligations and responsibilities,
So who is ‘strong’ in this day, Prov 16vs 32 ‘ He that is slow to anger is ‘better’ than the mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit than he that take to a city’
Who is ‘rich ‘ in this day, Ps 128 vs 2 ‘ For thou shalt ‘eat’ the labour of thine hands: ‘happy’ shalt thou be, and it shall be ‘well’ with thee’
Ms Houston  unfortunately was not able to conquer her own inclinations, Probably most of us also struggle in that area.
But her music is still around.

Good morning and good afternoon to others, we have been blessed by about 18" of frozen rain but fortunately not Artic cold. As the old song says ' Count your blessings name them one by one ' so that's my first count that I name.
Just finished watching my USA grand "kids" in Japan, not one picture of beans on toast, a bit to authentic for my palate of their eating choices. But a great one of my grand daughter feeding goats in a park and a young buck taking a fancy to her, good choice by male deer by the way, but some nice evasive moves by grand daughter.    
Liar, liar and you know the rest, seems to be the order of the day in the Epstein book of revelations, his sphere of influence far exceeds my large grey ones.
I bet for some who have died they are probably smiling to themselves.

It reads more and more that the wisdom of this world gets more foolish as time goes by, our Mr Carnage smiles, and says one thing and does just the opposite. It never ceases to amaze me how those who have the rule over us, can smile, and tell lies at the same time.

The wheeze I hear is to invest in silver, my English friend was saying this in 1978 and when he died, he had 1 tonne buried on his property, all that and it never stopped him dying.
I bet he's smiling and thinking "I told you so". Some trust in chariots, some in silver but we will trust in the "name" of the Lord.

As the Olympics fade away, our two provincial hockey teams are gearing up for a run at the cup, my 'lot'
have the colander goalies unfortunately, we traded one away for two who can replicate him perfectly but not as well as it turns out.
I do worry, will there be hockey in heaven     

There you go Mike, more twaddle from across the pond. Spelling and grammatical errors are included.
