OK.... I'll buy that.
Seems like I spend almost as many nights outside as I do inside. Nothing like waking up on brisk morning and crawling out of the sleeping bag and shaking the frost out of my hair and sitting around the fire with a pot of coffee watching the sun come up. THAT is living!!!

Never even think about it. Never had it happen. I have had things crawl into my boots at night, scorpions, wasp, etc, so it is a very good idea to shake them out in the morning before putting them on.

Just got back from church few minutes ago and sermon was on Jonah and how he didn't want the people of Ninevah to be saved partially because he didn't like them......Got me to thinking....

What if my worst enemy makes it to heaven? How would I feel? Blond better pray and make sure she is ready to love her worst enemy....

How do you guys feel about that thought? Just wondering....

Then I remember also Jesus prayer on the cross...Father Forgive them for they know not what they do.....I was Jesus enemy and He died for me......
I think the "pray for your enemy" thread is leaking... but yes, I mentioned Jonah in this context to Grandma just this morning. Jonah went the opposite way specifically BECAUSE he didn't want God to give them mercy.

Kinda hard to remember when I'm at work and that certain manager thinks she's the store owner and is chewing my tail again... God would sure be unhappy if she misses Heaven.

"God loves them all... and I'm trying my best to."

Yeah that's definitely a boss thing
The thing is Colin, the more he makes the more greedy he becomes, he is a driven man and he is a walking talking example of that well known adage - money cannot make you happy.

Yeah, but the opposite effect on perceived internal temperature. Smokers tell me they don't really feel the cold when they go out to smoke in the winter. Eating ice cream... >.>

Of course I have a half gallon of Blue Bell in the freezer and it keeps going down, so who am I to talk? ^.^

Believe me I would shove more ice cream at him as he needs a little weight on him and am happy that he is eating....It is just that he get cold so much more and faster than I do and we have a cool day today....It was just humorous to me that he is eating it with his hoodie on....lol

PS Day 19 without cigarettes I am so very proud of him and praising God at the same time.
