Why Did You Take The Tree Down?

Merry Christmas

See you in the New Year, God willing.

Trivia

The football huddle was invented by Gallaudet University quarterback Paul D. Hubbard in 1892. The school was one of the first for the education of deaf, so plays were conveyed via hand signals.

 To stop other teams from stealing the plays, Hubbard had players form

 a tight-knit circle to call the plays.

December Days

A dreary month of weeping ,
Of cloud and fog and rain,
Is sorrowful December,
And all the winds complain.
For trees are bare and flowers are gone,
And birds have hushed all song,
And days are short and sunless'
And nights are dark and long'

But let us wait in patience,
The days are swift to go,
And even sorrow does not stay
 Long on the earth below;
Some days must be for weeping'
But God  and heaven remain' And after night of darkness
The sun will shine again.

Brown Thrasher

All though we call it a Brown Thrush it is not of the thrush family of  birds.

We had not seen this bird all summer, but he showed up when

 the ice covered the ground to eat sun flower seeds.

 

I heard a bird sing

In the dark of December;

A magnificent thing

And sweet to remember:

"We are nearer to spring

Than we were in September."

I heard a bird sing

In the dark of December.

Thinking

Renovate your thinking by learning the Word of God.

The Law

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way

that sinners take  or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the

law of the Lord, and who meditates on His law day and night.

Psalm 1:1-2 NIV

I Know Batman

But who in the world or you? Is that a street light or is it a beam from outer space?

Can You Tell

Me maw which one is me?

After the Storm

 Pray for people to turn to God for their strength and clam.

Free People

For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.

Trivia

Did you know that, Cold-climate frogs grow more slowly than their relatives in temperate areas,

but live longer (12 years compared to five for lowland frogs) and so grow larger.

We Had To Make A Run

to Kroger's this morning, the Bennie and I both worked in a grocery story. I for 15 years and him a life time.
My grandfather and his father owned grocery store's, so that is our favorite thing to do is haunt the aisles of
a grocery store.

This is a Thanksgiving add for the Smith's Super Market I saved from 1963.

The Parable of the Weeds

Let  both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters; First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into My barn.

Matthew 13:30

 

 

Thank you Lord; that I am not a weed.

Don't Forget

The Race Is On

to bury as many acorn's  every where they can. They have found a pecan tree some where
that are green and big, we have found them in flower pots. The Bennie went for a long walk in the woods looking for the tree with no luck.
