Summer in the City...

Think our firemen have it easy? Look below...

On one of the hottest days we've had this Summer,

July 11, after really bad storms, this

is a part of what Jamie has to do.

Thank the Lord for firemen!

Thank you Jamie! Jeremy too!

July 4th

A happy July 4th to you, wherever you may be today.

I read this on another blog and thought it fitting for all to read...


In God We Trust: Happy 4th of July!

As you listen to our National Anthem consider the 4th and final verse and pray for our poor country. We will only continue to be the "land of the free and home of the brave" to the degree that we honor the "Power" that has "preserved us a nation." Pray that all patriots put their trust in God and obey his laws which were made for our happiness. When we throw out the laws of God, we guarantee the misery of our country and our people.

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand

Between their loved home and the war's desolation!

Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land

Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,

And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Christians...

"Christians no longer need to pretend to be better than anyone else. We don't have to put on any show of being good, for we know we are not. We are not good, we are forgiven; and so we are free to be honest before God and before others. We are free to be ourselves. We have given up trying to be good little boys and girls, and whenever we catch ourselves striving to please either God or others by dint of moral effort, we are the sort of people who react to this danger signal by falling on our faces before the Lord. For one of the secret privileges of being His child is knowing that it is all right to fail. It is all right to get tired, as His followers we know that if we are ever truly to reflect His goodness or His power, it will not be by human effort by only by grace."
