Summer Time

Summer Time and the living is easy...

What a beautiful day.

Warm.

Good services in church. Church Web Site

Marion and I went to the Annual Kite Festival at Long Beach, WA. earlier in the week. We had a real good time. A few pictures are listed below. Marion is doing better on her recovery from surgery. The staples are all out now but the Dr. said she won't be able to swallow normal for about 6 to 8 weeks.

Our first SS check was direct deposited to our bank account last Wednesday without a hitch. Hooray! Will continue to promote the home business. Life is good.

I'm a Christian...

Christians - By Maya Angelou

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God loves me anyway.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.


When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow!


Share this with somebody who already has this
understanding, as reinforcement.

But more importantly, share this with those who do not
have a clear understanding of what it means to be a
Christian, so that the myth that Christians think they
are "perfect" or "better than others" can be dispelled.

We had another good day in church today at
TLBC

Ted Tweet, Missionary to Honduras, was our guest speaker.
He preached on "Christian Confidence". I brought a lesson
in the afternoon services on King Solomon.

Marion had surgery this week and is slowly recovering
from that. Yesterday we strolled down South Tacoma Way
and viewed all the hot rods on show at the annual carshow.

We may take another trip to the ocean next week, Lord willing.

10 Ways to stay young...

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay "them "

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop."

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9 Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

10.Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.


And if you don't send this to at least 4 people - who cares? But do share this with someone. We all need to live life to its fullest each day!!

Marion and I drove over to Yakima a couple of Fridays ago and had a good visit again with sister Deuchle. Then last week we took off to the ocean and enjoyed a beautiful day on the beach flying our kites "Snoopy" and "The Red Barron". Take a look at our pictures at Picture Trail


This week we rode the bus downtown and visited the Farmers Market. It was fun and the Teriaki Steak sandwich was delicious. I took Picture of Marion with my cell phone and tried to post it here but for some reason am having problems doing that. Will work on it and see if I can post it later. She is beautiful. Pray for Marion this week. She goes into Tacoma General for some surgery on the 15th.

Psalms 23

Some probably never thought nor

looked at Psalm 23 in this way,

even though they say it over and over again.

The Lord is my Shepherd

That's Relationship!



I shall not want

That's Supply!



He maketh me to lie down in green pastures

That's Rest!



He leadeth me beside the still waters

That's Refreshment!



He restoreth my soul

That's Healing!



He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness

That's Guidance!



For His name sake

That's Purpose!



Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

That's Testing!



I will fear no evil

That's Protection!



For Thou art with me

That's Faithfulness!



Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me

That's Discipline!



Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies

That's Hope!

Thou annointest my head with oil

That's Consecration!



My cup runneth over

That's Abundance!



Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life

That's Blessing!



And I will dwell in the house of the Lord

That's Security!



Forever

That's Eternity!




Face it, the Lord is crazy about you.






I thought this was pretty special, just like YOU!!!





What is most valuable,

is not what we have in our lives,

but WHO we have in our lives!
