I second the nomination for Payne to start with one of his beautiful pictures.
2 Corinthians 4:8

Praying for all.

Blessings, soccermama. So sorry to hear this. That was one of my fears when we were faced with a possible move. I was afraid of going somewhere that had mold (among other worries).
I will pray for your situation. I know God sees what is happening and is taking care of it for you. One thing is that the landlord knows he could be held libel for any mold problems, so that may help you!

Just wanted to say I won't be around for a few days.
We are going to NYC Fri-Mon, May 24-27, and I won't be online at all during that time. I'm looking forward to some good Italian food in Little Italy and seeing a show.
Praying for everyone, and especially remembering this Memorial Day, all those who lost their lives serving our Country, and their families.
Hugs to all my friends!

Here's an old Chinese proverb: ``One joy scatters a hundred griefs.'' That kind of puts things in perspective, doesn't it? To have an optimistic outlook, to focus on the good things, helps us to build a positive life style. The Preacher puts it this way, ``A cheerful look brings joy to the heart; good news makes for good health'' (Proverbs 15:30 NLT). Today, look on the bright side of things!

Thank you all so much. I really appreciate it. My Dad's name is Tony.
Unfortunately, the pneumonia has gotten worse and he will be going into hospice this morning.
It's all in the Lord's Hands.

The Bible tells us that stormy winds fulfill God's Word (Ps. 148:8). God controls the weather and God knows what He is doing.
God's Hand was involved in the Revolutionary War, our country's war for independence. The weather played a key role in at least two of the important battles.
General George Washington's first challenge of the war was to outsmart the British forces which were occupying the city of Boston.
The British controlled the city of Boston; Washington made Cambridge his headquarters. The British greatly outnumbered the so-called "rebels," and had more troops, more canons, and more gun powder.
The British troops were very well trained, whereas the Americans were a group of farmers and common people.
They had volunteered to fight for freedom but had little battlefield experience and little military training.
However, the Americans had a brilliant general. One night Washington pulled off a great surprise.
In total silence, in the darkness of night, and with the help of favorable weather conditions (including a fog which shielded them from British eyes), he moved his army to Dorchester Heights.
Being on higher ground was a huge advantage in war. At daybreak, the British commanders looking up at the Heights could scarcely believe their eyes as they saw the Americans up on higher ground.
They were totally surprised. General Howe, the British general, said, "These fellows have done more work in one night than I could make my army do in three months."
General Howe then made the decision to attack even though the Americans had the advantage of higher ground, as was the case earlier at Bunker Hill.
The Americans held the higher ground which is always an advantage in battle, but the British had a huge army which was well supplied.
It would have been a very bloody battle with huge losses on both sides, and it probably would have changed the course of history.
The British General Howe decided to attack at night. It was early March, 1776. His troops were all ready. But the battle never happened.
God did something! God intervened. During the previous day the weather had been very pleasant; it was even abnormally warm. But by nightfall a storm raged. There was hail mixed with snow and sleet.
By midnight the wind blew with almost hurricane force. Windows were smashed and fences were blown over. One American lieutenant called it the worst storm that he was ever exposed to.
The next morning the wind continued to blow and the snow and sleet changed over to a driving rain.
The British general had no choice. He could not fight under those conditions. So instead, the entire British army evacuated the city of Boston without a fight. If it wasn't for that blizzard, American history could have been very different.
The next major battleground was in and around Long Island and New York City toward the end of August in 1776.
General Washington was fighting the British army, and had suffered serious losses. The Americans were greatly outnumbered and the British navy controlled the waterways.
He had no choice but to retreat. Washington along with 9000 men had to cross the East River from Brooklyn to Manhattan. It was their only way of escape.
At first they could not proceed with their planned retreat across the East River because the wind was contrary. But God did something. God intervened.
About eleven o'clock that night the northeast wind died down and then the wind shifted to the southwest. The weather was now favorable for the crossing.
When morning broke God sent a rare August fog so thick that the British could not see what was happening. At about eight in the morning the fog dispersed, the Americans had landed safely in Manhattan, and the enemy was now visible on the shore that they had just left from.
If they had not crossed the river, their army would have been destroyed. In a single night, 9,000 troops had escaped across the river and not a life was lost.
The only men captured were three who had hung back to plunder. The British army was utterly astonished. That the rebel army had silently vanished in the night under their very noses was almost inconceivable.
The God who controls the weather played a key role in these early stages of the Revolutionary War.
For complete documentation, see the book 1776 by David McCullough.

I couldn't leave God thought at 66 posts.
This is a copied email I received this morning.
I Love My Attorney
After living what I felt was a 'decent' life, my time on earth came to the end.
The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting room of what I thought to be a court house.
The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the defense table.
As I looked around I saw the 'prosecutor'.
He was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me. He definitely was the most evil person I have ever seen..
I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney, a kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed so familiar to me, I felt I knew Him.
The corner door opened and there appeared the Judge in full flowing robes.
He commanded an awesome presence as He moved across the room. I couldn't take my eyes off of Him.
As He took His seat behind the bench, He said, 'Let us begin.'
The prosecutor rose and said, 'My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this man belongs in hell.'
He proceeded to tell of lies that I told, things that I stole, and In the past when I cheated others. Satan told of other horrible perversions that were once in my life, and the more he spoke, the further down in my seat I sank.
I was so embarrassed that I couldn't look at anyone, even my own Attorney, as the Devil told of sins that even I had completely forgotten about.
As upset as I was at Satan for telling all these things about me, I was equally upset at My Attorney who sat there silently not offering any form of defense at all.
I know I had been guilty of those things, but I had done some good in my life - couldn't that at least equal out part of the harm I'd done?
Satan finished with a fury and said, 'This man belongs in hell, he is guilty of all that I have charged and there is not a person who can prove otherwise.'
When it was His turn, My Attorney first asked if He might approach the bench. The Judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan, and beckoned Him to come forward.
As He got up and started walking, I was able to see Him in His full splendor and majesty.
I realized why He seemed so familiar; this was Jesus representing me, my Lord and my Savior.
He stopped at the bench and softly said to the Judge, 'HI, DAD,' and then He turned to address the court.
'Satan was correct in saying that this man had sinned, I won't deny any of these allegations. And, yes, the wage of sin is death, and this man deserves to be punished.'
Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father with outstretched arms and proclaimed, 'However, I died on the cross so that this person might have eternal life and he has accepted Me as his Savior, so he is Mine.'
My Lord continued with, 'His name is written in the Book of Life, and no one can snatch him from Me. Satan still does not understand yet. This man is not to be given justice, but rather mercy.'
As Jesus sat down, He quietly paused, looked at His Father and said, 'There is nothing else that needs to be done. I've done it all..'
The Judge lifted His mighty hand and slammed the gavel down. The following words bellowed from His lips.....
'This man is free. The penalty for him has already been paid in full. Case dismissed.'
I asked Jesus as He gave me my instructions where to go next, 'Have you ever lost a case?'
Christ lovingly smiled and said, 'Everyone that has come to Me and asked Me to represent them has received the same verdict as you, ~Paid In Full.'
