Good morning to everyone!! :-x
Julie you are a "night owl". :-x
I'm a "morning dove". 😉
Sooner or later we will "fly" together... :^O

Goodmorning Sir Thomas......I'm one of those early birds too.......Have a good day.....:-x
Gooooooooood Morning! 🙂
LOL...yep, I am a night owl, Tom. I love the peace and quiet in the house after my brood goes to bed. But I am a semi-early riser, too, getting up at 7:00 am each day to make brekkie for Hubs and get the kids off to school. I probably average about 5-6 hrs. of sleep per night. Darn that internal body clock, though...much as I'd love to sleep in on weekends, my body program says, "Oh no you don't!" :^O

Prayers for Rolly, a very courageous lady.

Bretheren and Sisteren
(yes, I know sisteren is not a word, but that's okay 'cause ya' all know what I mean, eh.)
I'm requesting prayer.
I'm obsessed with this parole hearing and the whole case. I have to give a 40 minute talk at the church tomorrow on something totally unrelated... and I haven't even thought about what I'm going to say. All I can think about is this family of the murdered girl.
So, I need God to do whatever He is willing to make sure that whatever comes out of my mouth tomorrow is edifying to Him and the church.
The big thing, though, the huge one, is prayer for Darlene's family and for the safety of everyone. That family needs so much love and support right now.... and nothing anyone says can replace their daughter or make it right. But I know God can comfort, and I'm asking for Him to do that and asking that you pray in agreement.
Perhaps we should all be praying regularly for the safety of children everywhere.

Joke for the day.......

A few minutes before the services started, the townspeople were sitting in their pews and talking. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.
Soon everyone had exited the church except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seeming oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence. So Satan walked up to the old man and said, "Don't you know who I am?"
The man replied, "Yep, sure do."
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Satan asked.
"Nope, sure ain't," said the man.
"Don't you realize I can kill you with a word?" asked Satan.
"Don't doubt it for a minute," returned the old man, in an even tone.
"Did you know that I could cause you profound, horrifying, physical AGONY... for all eternity?" persisted Satan.
"Yep," was the calm reply.
"And you're still not afraid?" asked Satan.
"Nope." More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, "Well, why aren't you afraid of me?"
The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for over 48 years.":-x
