February Snow Today is a great day, a great day you know, as I look out, and see light falling snow. It is a great day, to get out and walk, and enjoy the fresh air, and the soft February snow. I always have enjoyed, enjoyed walking in the soft, slowly falling February snow, while remembering, those days long ago, spent playing in February snow.

Yes my heart is yearning for the time of spring,to see the flowers blooming and hearing the birds sing. The first sign of spring here is the return of the robin and it's hopping on any bare spots around. The Robin can appear here anytime after the last of March. Yes I am ready to scream, bring on spring!

For that good bishop's sake Get up and let us see What beauty it shall be That Fortune us assigns. ~Michael Drayton I love thee - I love thee, 'Tis all that I can say It is my vision in the night, My dreaming in the day. ~Th...

The Tongue by   wint6 ” The boneless tongue, so small and weak, Can crush and kill, ” declares the Greek. ” The tongue destroys a greater horde,” The Turk asserts, ” than does the sword.” A Persian proverb wisely said, ” A lengthy tongue– an early death.” Or sometimes this form instead: ” Don’t let your tongue cut off your head.” ” The tongue can speak a word whose speed,” The Chinese say, ” outstripes the steed.” While Arab sages this impart: ” The tongue’s great storehouse is the heart.” From Hebrew hath this maxim sprung, ” Though feet should slip, ne’er let the tongue.” The sacred writer crowns the whole, ” Who keeps his tongue doth keep his soul!” — Philip B. Strong

JESUS SAID The I Am’s of Jesus  as Jesus said continued: John10:7-9. 7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.  Jesus said, “I Am the door”.   John 10:11,14. 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.   Jesus said,” I Am the good shepherd”.   John 10:25. 25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:   Jesus said,” I Am the resurrection and life”.    John 14:6. 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.   Jesus said,” I Am the way, the truth, and...
