Proverbs 6:20

"My son, keep your father's commands and do not forsake your mother's teaching."

Sometimes you just have to obey your mother, even when you know it is a school day and you've got math due and worksheets left undone.

When your mother says, "Beach day!", you have to obey her.

You have to respect her.




Honor her decisions, even when it doesn't make sense.




Find art in unique places instead of on white paper.












Be creative getting your Physical Education.








Discover the world of physics under your own feet.





Overall, be obedient, heeding your parent's directions. Come immediately when called upon.



"Now then, my sons, listen to me: blessed are those who keep my ways." Prov 8:32


"Don't complain. Just smile one more time for the blog," I said.




"Good boys!"

"Even a child is known by his actions, by whether his conduct is pure and right." Prov 20:11

Four American Missionaries are killed by pirates

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/piracy

My heart sunk down in sadness as I saw today's headlines. Why? These people had been sailing, passing out Bibles to small remote countries since 2004. They were not rich nor harming anybody. 19 cowards overtook a yacht & 4 people. Took their lives. For what?? Unrighteous living?

May God have mercy on their souls.

PRESIDENT'S DAY

by Robin



"My dear brothers and sisters, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, never think some people are more important than others." - James 2:1

Presidents are people too. They have ups & downs. They good and bad qualities. They all need prayer. But we should never make one person more important than another. James is trying to tell us that all people are important. What good is it for a leader to wear nice clothes and a special ring when he doesn't take care of the people he leads.

I guess then, that leads to other problems like the one we had recently in Egypt...




And Bahrain...



...where their people are crying out for democracy and freedom from the abuses of power.

Paul writes to the city of Galatia in Gal 5:13-15.

"You, my brother were called to be free.



But do not use your freedom to indulge in sinful nature;



serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: "LOVE your NEIGHBOR as YOURSELF."

If you keep biting and devouring each other,

watch out or you will be destroyed by each other." Gal 5:13-15




Dear friend, pray for our leaders. Pray for our President. Pray for what is going on around our world lately. I am very afraid by what I've been seeing lately.

Remember, there is only one way to true freedom and that is through the cross that Jesus carried to Mount Calvary. Why don't you put your trust in Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and not leave it to the hands of any one man.



Blessings,
Robin

TUESDAY'S EXERCISE

Bike a couple of miles to the library.



Wait for the boys to get what they want to see (I'm contagious w/ germs.)



Head east a hundred yards or so and get ice cream.



Bike back home a couple miles. (We thought it was funny that we took up a parking spot.)



Beautiful weather we're having in Florida, compared to the Snowpocalypse in the North.
