Good morning folks.
I thought that little quiz was cute.
I was stumped on the math one as well and I deal a lot in numbers .... 🙂
a new day is upon us...a renewed reason to be thankful no matter what we may be encountering ... as there is truly a God whose heart is touched by all our troubles and in whom we can find all our answers if only we will truly listen and trust.
Take care all.

The secret to the math one is to first add all the 1000's and then go back and add the numbers that differ.
It was a fun quiz. If you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh with?

Andrew, that is great stuff. All creatures God given including my Abby as seen here on point. Not a front foot as usual but a hind foot up. Guess that was the one that was up when she froze. My Son's untrained German pointer rushed in and flushed the pheasant before we were ready for it.

an example of something I found on that site is called life explained ....
Life Explained
One day, God created the dog and said:
"Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years."
The dog said: "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?" So God agreed.
On the next day, God created the monkey and said:
"Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span."
The monkey said: "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?" And God agreed.
On the next day, God created the cow and said:
"You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years."
The cow said: "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?" And God agreed again.
Then on the next day, God created man and said:
"Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."
But man said: "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"
"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."
So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
So now you understand life.

good evening nikki ... so very nice to hear of the family wedding ... it sounds to have been a truly blessed occasion ....
And thank you for your thoughts and prayers for my FIL.
Truly our God is a caring God. Many family members held him up before the throne of mercy while the operation was underway.
He is in his mid seventies and this for any age was a serious enough an operation. He had a spot (cancer) removed from one of his lungs.
Wthin two days he was up about, and tormenting the nurses. Home within 6 days and now out and about driving his car to friends and the horse farm he goes to etc. Has been listing his wares back on ebay.
He is not supposed to do much lifting yet so DW gets the pleasure of going to the store with him and filling the cart for him. She is hoping that by the end of the week she will be heading home ...
Between his positive attitude and the loving care of God he is progessing rather well ... egad if it was me I'd still be flat on my back 🙂
