devotion this am
From Charles Spurgeon, "We shall not be ashamed of our love. Jesus is to us the altogether lovely, and never, never, shall we have to blush because we have yielded our hearts to him. The sight of our glorious Well-beloved will justify the most enthusiatic attachment to him. None will blame the martyrs for dying for him."

pictures
The first picture below this is the dog in her bone chewing palace aka my herb and flower garden by patio. The 2nd one is Pat petting suffolk sheep and sleeping beauty racing to me as I try to take her picture so you can see she's growing up! All the other pictures I got of her she got so close that I could only capture part of her face, she runs well.

Brain Damage
Apparently, I have a severe case of brain damage. Class wasn't last night but next Monday! Oh well, I'm all preped for it now! Got up early and did my gardening job and it was nice to have it so cool but I felt confused all morning going to work 2 hours early!
When I got home Pat was gone on his jobs for the day so I laid down with the mail from yesterday, my options were Architectural Digest (AD) and Adventist World. I know hard choices! But I felt so sleepy so I chose Adventist World, the June issue. I think it is probably the best one yet! There is a web site about a creation movie presented in Germany that I want to check out www.dieSchoepfung.eu and then the article In God's Image by Richaard Spillman on creativity was great. Then The Greatest Story Ever Told by Connie Vandeman Jeffery and the section Ron's story was very touching, indeed, Jesus took our pain! And the very first of Small Things....can lead to great results by Ellen G. White says: "Our ministers are to go forth to proclaim the message of present truth to those who have not heard it. And our churches should not feel jealous and neglected if they do not receive ministerial labor. They should themselves take up the burden and labor most earnestly for souls." We forget that we are supposed to be fishers of men and to work along side with our pastors instead of waited for their sermons each worship day like little robots.
As I was reading a part of the magazine, I had this overwhelming need to stop and pray for someone, like the thought was put there by the Holy Spirit, such an urgent thing that I stopped right there and the words flowed into my brain. I was astonished! Now, I can't wait to see what God is going to do! And after that another person came to mind and I prayed for that person, too, but it was me this time not a powerful must do thing. I don't think I've ever felt such a thing before, truly.
When I finished reading the mag, I picked up AD but after a couple of pages my head jerked with drift off sleep and I took a nice nap. Then, after the nap, I looked at AD but I wasn't too impressed today, it was a good reminder about what is really important!
Well, it's time to water things and cook things and care for things...you know... LIFE.

chickens
Thought you might like to see a picture of my chickens. They are taking a dust bath in my new addition to the flower bed! Chicken names for the curious are: brown chicken and white chicken (we raised from chicks) and big mama, kevin, and chicken hawk which were gifts from someone who had to move and yes, kevin is a girl. Probably a bit of confusion occured in the one who named it. Kevin shrieks madly when you first pick her up but seems to like being held and petted. White chicken likes to chase after the dog and try to get the dog bones from her (Lacy). Lacy does not like this at all. The brown chicken lays green eggs.
