Breezee called yesterday to tell me about this church sign. I asked her if she took a picture of it, she said no, but would go back and take one. :)

Guns and Fireworks.

Is it just me, or is my small city turning into the old west days or maybe Bonnie and Clyde days?
It seems like every day there is a new incident of a shooting, be it just a shooting or shooting of somebody.
If I had money falling out of my pockets I would move, but to where? In a cave maybe, would that be safer?
We hear a gun being shot off almost every night, but is it reported, no.
Around June and July gun fire can be heard, mixed in with the fireworks. Seems like a perfect time for someone to commit a crime with a gun, eh?


Well, in case I forget to tell anyone, Happy (safe) Fourth of July.

Anyone interested?

A blogger friend needs a bone marrow transplant and posted a link to where you can sign up to be a donor. It usually costs $100.00 to put your name on the list but for a few it's going to be free to sign up.

See the photo's of the trashy house in a post I did?
My husband and I were down at my daughters house doing yard work and the guy that made the mess pulled up to that house and went up to the front porch to read the three notices tacked to the door. I heard him mumbling to his girlfriend in the truck that now he had to clean up the garage! He looked over at us and yelled, Ha! How do you like THAT for raising the property values!?
WTF? Then tore off down the road in his truck.
My daughter went over to the house to read the notices. One said that they have been doing repairs without permits...another one said something about the upkeep of the property etc etc etc. Why he was bitching at us, who knows. We just wanted this guy to take care of his property while he lived there.

Opinion in newspaper.

We must trust, have faith in the Lord.

Who's on first? What's on second? I don't know - third base.
The old Abbott and Costello routine hits home (excuse the word play) given our current circumstances in America and the entire world.

We have business, political and spiritual leaders who are making grave mistakes and imperiling the lives of many. What can we do? We can pray, we can wait and be calm, and we can be quiet and trust in the Lord. The Lord has a solid foundation, a rock for us to hold on to when we are in distress. He has given us the plan of salvation which was His Son, Jesus Christ, who lived and died and was raised on the third day so that we might believe in His name and have eternal life in his heavenly kingdom.

It's a mystery how the Lord is working in the world, in America, even in our Battle Creek community. The Lord doesn't care who is on first or second, or third, but He does want us to be home, His eternal home, where He has promised a place for us. The Lord can and will make a way out of no way for you and for me - if we believe with the faith of a child in His great works.

Okay, but what about those that don't believe in gods and the so called power of prayer?
For my fellow atheists, don't you just love that last line?
