Date Night::

I suppose   this weekend Lynn and I have experienced  date nights: we very rarely sit and watch the same thing on tv.  But we  really enjoyed the Ryder Cup   golf   tournament  where teams from  the USA and  Europe  square off  hole by hole to see who  plays best and right off the bat the USA took the lead and  carried it to the end.  I  like  several of the European players so I  was  cheering them on,     but  it was  soon  realized they had no chance.. so I kept  cheering  that the differece in score wouldn't be so embarrassing.   Odd thing  the European team usually  beats our socks off..  This was the first time in over a decade the USA had won.  YAY, USA! But it was  a great  way to spend our evenings together!.And we enjoyed hearing the  grand  cheers for the USA.  So    cheering for our nation   isn't  dead after all.  Very cheap date!!

In the Garden . . .  

The  heavy rains  came and  left  the yard in  dire need for a  clean up. I purchased some winter pansy and do need to get out tomorrow  clear off a bed  and    get them planted. They will  keep me cheered  during the coming  change in them weather!

Camera. . .    

I took a few photos around the house..first of all  our den...  I still note the  space  I have created  by  purging this summer!

The gallery wall   came about because of the purging..  I like the  art  on the wall better than sitting around the house!!

Im not sure I ever shared  the painting I did  at a Bob Ross Workshop. I highly recommend these  day long classes..  Very fun!!

I love this photo I took from the den into the kitchen.. There is my favorite  lil man of the house..  I do not know why his face was so distorted...  he really is a cutie!

With limited wall space I have learned to take advantage of  every nook and cranny!

Prayer:. . .

Crisis in Afghanistan and the Middle East, influx of illegals into

 our nation, crisis in Haiti, and everywhere that persecution is taking

 place...

Pray for the upcoming  elections...  Pray for godly  leaders who   really care about

their constituents and  govern  fairly and  according to our Constitution!  
Our government leaders to seek God, and for the fear of the 

Lord to spread among all people.

For healing of the sick, salvation of the lost, deliverance for 

the hurting,  Personal: situations, Prodigal children to return 

to their roots and be spiritually healed, Churches to arise, 

against ungodly moves of government to infringe on godly practices

... protect our children from the ungodly teachings and protect them

 from ungodly people who wish them harm for their own purposes. 

Pray for organizations that are doing good in the communities, 

CrisisPregnancy Centers, Straight Street, Street Ransome, 

Salvation Army, Rescue Missions, etc!  Starting next week

  I am focusing  much more on the upcoming elections.
