Sunday on the Mountain... August 23

   Quiet Time in Bible Study...

““Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 

You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, 

and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 

You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”

Deuteronomy 6:4-9 NKJV


“He made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south; 

He does great things past finding out, Yes, wonders without number.”

Job 9:9-10 NKJV


“The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 


Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 


“O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”

I Corinthians 15:263342-4451-525558 NKJV


“Do not forsake me, O Lord; O my God, be not far from me! 

Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!”

Psalms 38:21-22 NKJV


“For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”

II Corinthians 5:1 NKJV


“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, 

just as your soul prospers.”

III John 1:2 NKJV


“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, 

despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Hebrews 12:1-2 NKJV

Last night...

they got a bit warm up on the couch

and both jumped down at about

the same time to

stretch out on the cooler floor...



Enjoying their evening...

Good Morning...
it's Sunday!
Starting off very nicely...


I know it's hard to tell,
but trust me,
there are a gazillion stars
visible this morning!
But I didn't see any bats...



Bible Study Time...
no woodland sounds this morning...
not even a distant train whistle...
but a bit later we heard
a lone coyote pretty darn
close... the dogs ran out
and chased him off :-)



Took the liver out of the Freeze
Dryer and jarred it up...
the fur kids LOVE it!


Now prepping a Beef Heart
for the Freeze Dryer as well...


*****
Out to the Barnyard...




Sparkly Day...


The kids went to a concert today
so we decided to go out for Chinese...



Went to Golden Oak...
SO good...
I really piled up my plate...




This was Paula's fortune...
too cute!


Out to the Barnyard...



*****

Tonight we are going to Calvary
to see Sadie sing...
as you know,
she is in the Youth Praise Band.

We will get home "late"
so probably won't watch a movie...
usually we have time to sit on the couch
with the fur kids and watch a short documentary...
we are watching a series after our nightly movie about
Toranga Zoo in Australia...
they are 30 minute episodes...
long enough to let the dogs
realize we are home and to
settle down enough to
head for bed :-)

Good Night Everyone...

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, 

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”

John 1:14 NKJV


“Yet man is born to trouble, As the sparks fly upward. “But as for me, I would seek God, And to God I would commit my cause— Who does great things, and unsearchable, Marvelous things without number. “Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty. 

For He bruises, but He binds up; He wounds, but His hands make whole.”

Job 5:7-9, 17-18 NKJV


“If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, t

here My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, 

him My Father will honor.”

John 12:26 NKJV


“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.”

Colossians 1:15 NKJV


“Blessed are the undefiled in the way, Who walk in the law of the Lord! 

Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, 

Who seek Him with the whole heart!”

Psalms 119:1-2 NKJV


“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 3:13-14 NKJV

Last night...

Snoozin' til Movie Time...



Checked on the Girls...
they are enjoying their evening...
it poured the rain 
and we lost power a couple quick times...


Movie Snack Time...


Look at that concentration...
they shiver like addicts!



*****
Rise and Shine...
it's the Weekend...
cooler this morning
and the weatherman says
sunny and only 80 for a high...
sounds good - we shall see...

Update:
it actually got around 88 on
our back patio this afternoon...


Max followed me
to check out the driveway...


Bible Study Time...



The door is open but it's quiet...
usually after a rain the frogs are
noisy, so I hope Max hasn't
killed all our frog buddies :-(


Another soggy Barnyard morning!!





Yes, it's wet
darlin's...


So they will just hang out
in here for a bit...


She is a mess!


They just keep moving around
to find snooze spots....


For our Lunch/Dinner
we had Baked Sweet Tater
and Left Overs from yesterday
with some fresh Pork added...
Yum!


Yep, she had some of our
lunch and is now at the other end
of the couch snoozin'....


Went out to check eggs...
didn't want the snake to get them :-)
Gave the girls a bit of
sunflower seed...
Trying to keep grains
from Baby...
supposed to help
her dry up...




Heading out for evening Chores...
the Goats are usually watching
the door around this time...
they're ready for bed...



Well, dang!


This time Lanny is going to take him
down past the creek...
he is cleaning us out
of eggs!

I did get five today
but that is just not enough
for this many hens...



Waiting for me to finish
with the Barnyard
and go in...


Tonight, continuing alphabetically,
we are watching
"Alien"....
made in 1979 with
Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, 
Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, 
John Hurt, Ian Holm, 
and Yaphet Kotto...
not a yearly view but it's not bad....

Good Night Everyone!

God Bless and Sweet Dreams!
