Day One Hundred Thirty One 2012

RANDOM

The birds have discovered the mulberries, which make for a very colorful mess (literally) on the windshield of my car.

The baby birds have flown the nest and are everywhere. They, too, know a good mulberry when they see one.

What an awesome day! Felt a bit like fall which is always OK with me.

And last but never least, Grandson Elijah played T Ball this evening. His team, the Diamondbacks, got beat by the Reds 17~11. They played well, though, and Elijah did some great fielding. They turned an eleven point lead into a six point lead. Not too shabby.

Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.

Day One Hundred Twenty Nine 2012

²⁵"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? ²⁶"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? ²⁸And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
³¹"So do not worry, saying, `What shall we eat?' or `What shall we drink?' or `What shall we wear?' ³²For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
~Matthew 6: 25~34

Day One Hundred Twenty Eight 2012

It was a gorgeous afternoon for a T Ball game and a ballpark hamburger. Grandson Elijah's team is doing well so far. The Diamondbacks beat the Cardinals 25~10. Not too shabby! The umpire got whacked in the knee about halfway through the game by a little kid who slings the bat after he hits the ball. Ouch!

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
~Proverbs 22:6
Grandson Knox attended his first Cradle Roll Bible class this morning. His mom wasn't sure how he'd react. But once she plopped him down into that little bucket chair in front of the teacher, he was totally into the whole experience. His mom (daughter Kelly) didn't want to distract him, so she snapped this picture from behind him. It's one of the sweetest things I've ever seen.
