Friday on the Mountain... November 21

 Quiet Time in Bible Study...

☔️


“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.”

Isaiah 43:2 ESV


“Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise.”

James 5:7-8, 13 ESV


“How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.”

Psalm 119:9, 11, 15-16 ESV


“The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.”

John 1:9 ESV


“It has been testified somewhere, “What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you care for him? You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor,”

Hebrews 2:6-7 ESV


“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.”

Psalm 121:1-3, 8 ESV


“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

Romans 12:1-2 ESV

It's Friiiiiiidaaaaaay!!!
Hello Weekend!



Finding his sweet spot...


For Bible Study Time...


This morning I am thankful
for electricity...
that is another thing that
much of the world does not have in abundance...
we can flip a switch for lights,
for heat, for our coffee...
Wow!
We do tend to take it for granted
until the power goes off :-)


We had 1.8" rain last night...
Paula's gauge usually shows more
but this is good :-)


Fur Kid Breakfast...


And Sparkly Day...


Out to the Barnyard...









Pup Pile Patrol...


On our way to the Gym
we passed over 30 turkeys
coming down off our hill...
Our property
ends at the ridge along Granite Road...
These are our turkeys :-)
They are opportunists 
and enjoy this neighbors pasture...





Came home and had Breakfast...
I had Avocado
and Lanny warmed up his left over
Country Fried Chicken and Mashed Potatoes...
yes, for Breakfast :-)


It was sprinkling rain
so the goats AND chickens
were in the Goat House...


Interesting...


Coming for his Cookies...


The fish were on top
enjoying the warmer weather...


Made some Sourdough Pita Bread...


*****

After I fed the pups their
dinner Lanny took me to
Hobby Lobby for a few items
for Christmas projects...


Another interesting poster...


We also went to the 
Co-Op for Goat Feed
and Sunflower Seed...
 then to our favorite restaurant :-)
The Git-N-Go...


Yum...
we brought one home for Paula as well...


The Critters are all in for the evening
and just in time before the rain
came back...

We will start with the
old Star Trek movies tonight...
This first one was such a
exciting movie when it came out...
we looked so forward to it...
it is a bit dated now
but we still like to watch it...

Goodnight, Sleep Tight...

God Bless and Sweet Dreams!

Thursday on the Mountain... November 20

Quiet Time in Bible Study...

🏠


“But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”

James 4:6-8 ESV


“So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.”

James 4:17 ESV


“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; you are my God; I will extol you. Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!”

Psalm 118:24, 28-29 ESV


“But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.””

Matthew 19:26 ESV


“Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.”

1 Timothy 4:16 ESV

Look what my man brought home

last evening

for our Movie Snacks :-)


He said since I couldn't eat before

the procedure today

I needed a good snack last night :-)

The PayDay is mine!



Maggies normal 
movie watching pose :-)

It's Thursday...


💞


Bible Study Time...
This morning in my Devotional Readings
I am reminded of all the places in this world
where it is so hard to find clean drinking water...
I am thankful to live in a country
where that is not a problem.
Thank you Lord!



We have to be at the Surgery Center

and 12:45 and I can have clear liquids until 9:30 AM...

Whew! I don't mind not eating

but I sure do get thirsty...

And if the check in is at 12:45 there is no

telling what time they will actually get to me...

but the last few times I have

been over there it hasn't been bad...


Fed the Fur Kids...



Took care of the Barnyard...








Misty on the Mountain and
very pretty in its own way...


Dandy wasn't ready for Treats...
he was enjoying his Breakfast of Hay...



Headed for the Gym...
I am walking slower and on a steeper incline
since I cannot get my heart rate up
I will concentrate on muscle building :-)


A bit foggy on the road this morning...


Putting the wood away
that he grabbed yesterday...
we are gonna be OK for wood this year...
and this isn't all of it!


Headed back down the hill around 11
so that we could get gas
and renew our Gun Carry License
before we head for the Surgery Center...


I knew where the Pups would be...
the whole time we were gone...


Didn't have to guess about
the chickens either...


Well, they took me right back,
prepped me and rolled me in...
they are ALL so nice at the 
Urology Surgery Center...
Doc said he was very pleased
with the way everything turned out
and I am excited to be
even a little bit better...
but he said he thought it would be
much better :-)

We went to Texas Road House afterwards...
Lanny got the Chicken Fried Chicken
and I got the Chicken Critter Salad...
YUM!!!


It poured the rain all the way home
but we are safe and sound...
took care of the Barnyard
in the pouring rain,
but everyone is happy out there...
I am cleaned up and
in my Jammies...
ready for the next 
"Star Trek: Nemesis"...
and probably a snack or two...

Good Night Everyone,

God Bless You All

and

Sweet Dreams!
