I really liked it.. Also, I am enjoying Christmas in July on Hallmark. Poldark last night!!! My heart breaks for Dr. Enys!
On my TV this week:::
Whatever catches my eye... but it wont be regular network TV.
I have lost all interest in all the three major networks.. they seem to have lost their moral compass.

Looking forward to:::
I have found out that the upcoming family reunion is going to be even better than I originally thought.. I seems just about all of the aunts and cousins will be there this time... I wish my mom was here to go... she always loved it so much!
Looking around the house:::
the downstairs looks great! The upstairs is the bug a boo!!! One bedroom finished, the guest room to go.. but my clothing is the problem.. much to sort and make some decisions about... and then organize the closet... my most detestable job but it must be done!

From the camera:::
I ran across this photo of my parents the day our dear friend, Mo, visited from Arizona. Mo is still a great face book friend, we had a great times years ago when she lived near my parents, in Galax.
What I'm wearing today:::
Blue shorts and the coolest top I could find!!! Poor Lynn is mowing today! I hold my breath when he mows in this weather.
One of my simple pleasures:::
I never got to do this yet...the pollen on the porch was such that we couldn't get it washed off until later,, then the heat and continuing pollen in the air has kept me inside... in-
stead of sitting out on the porch to read or eat breakfast, even..
I cannot believe I haven't set out on the porch this whole season yet... Maybe I can next week... But my allergies have been horrid.. and my hacky cough is getting to me big time!!!

Bible verse, Devotional, prayers:::
A wonderful devotional from Alistair Begg
Jesus is my anchor!
A wonderful devotional from Alistair Begg
...If indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.1 Peter 2:3
"If." Then this is not a matter to be taken for granted concerning every one of the human race. "If"--then there is a possibility and a probability that some may not have tasted that the Lord is gracious. "If"--then this is not a general but a special mercy; and it is necessary to ask whether we know the grace of God by inward experience. There is no spiritual favor that may not be a matter for heart-searching.
But while this should be a matter of earnest and prayerful inquiry, no one ought to be content while there is any such thing as an "if" about his having tasted that the Lord is good. A jealous and holy distrust of self may give rise to the question even in the believer's heart, but the continuance of such a doubt would be an evil indeed. We must not rest without a desperate struggle to clasp the Savior in the arms of faith and say, "I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me."1
Do not rest, believer, until you have a full assurance of your interest in Jesus. Let nothing satisfy you until, by the infallible witness of the Holy Spirit bearing witness with your spirit, you are identified as a child of God. Do not trifle with this. Do not be satisfied with "perhaps" or "if" or "maybe." Build on eternal truths; really build upon them. Let your anchor be cast into that which is within the veil, and see to it that your soul is linked to the anchor by a cable that will not break. Get beyond these dreary "ifs"; stay no longer in the wilderness of doubts and fears; cross the Jordan of distrust, and enter the promised land of peace, where the land ceases not to flow with milk and honey.
1) 2 Timothy 1:12
Jesus is my anchor!
Do try and stay cool in that weather and I hope the pollen isn't too much off a problem. I know it's been quite late and problematic here too. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeletePoor hubs is getting along well with the mowing.. our lawn is so large... he thinks he will be done by 12:30 in 25 minutes.. Hopefully, it won't be 90's then.. it usually gets into the 90's in afternoon... He really drinks a lot of water to stay hydrated... I have an appointment for allergy testing in a couple of weeks... I was on shots all of my life until a few years ago I had to go off of them due to some medication,, but Im not on that anymore!! Can't wait to get on the shots again!!!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Schotzy! Your morning glories are lovely! I planted the heavenly blues this year, but the seed must have been old because they came out a deep purple instead. Looks like you're getting the hot weather, too! Arrghh! I'll be so glad when fall arrives! Ruth is one of my favorite books! Enjoy the study! Hope your week is off to a great start! Stay anchored and have a blessed week ahead! <3
ReplyDeleteAllergies have been horrible here too. I usually have spring allergies, but this year the allergies are just not going away. I haven't sat out on our porch yet this year either. I've always enjoyed sitting out there listening to the birds sing in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI love your morning glories. I've tried to grow blue, pink, and purple ones. sadly the only ones that seem to grow here are the white ones! Have a great week.
We have a family reunion coming up on the 27th that I'm looking forward to. I agree about the moral compass on network TV. What a shame! Have a great week! I hope you can stop by:

We haven't had a proper family reunion in years, after my great grandmother died all the aunts and uncles just stopped getting together. I hope you're able to enjoy yours immensely!
ReplyDeleteYou have a warm week ahead! Have fun at your reunion!!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking I hadn't really had a chance to sit outside and read this summer either, no allergy issues but our weather and my schedule have not cooperated enough. Hope the reunion is/was wonderful (I'm late visiting this time around, the week went so fast!).
