Happy thought of the day: My pictures are back!! Looking through them . . . Oh, that was funny! Remember that place? Smart monkey! Naughty monkey!!! The road was worse than I remembered! Adorable babies! Smelly market! Delicious food! . . . Oh, you’d like to see them, too? *mischievous grin* Give me some time, the posts are coming soon.

Steal of the day: Nice metal skirt hangers for $.20 each (compared to $1.25 for plastic ones).

Quotes of the day: The three rules of speaking: Be sincere, Be brief, Be seated. Preacher on radio
Don’t be an expert in trivial matters. Same preacher on radio

Challenging thoughts of the day: Poem as quoted by Elisabeth Elliot on FOTF’s broadcast today.

*************************************

No Scar?

Hast thou no scar?
No hidden scar on foot, or side, or hand?
I hear thee sung as mighty in the land;
I hear them hail thy bright, ascendant star.
Hast thou no scar?

Hast thou no wound?
Yet I was wounded by the archers; spent,
Leaned Me against a tree to die; and rent
By ravening beasts that compassed Me, I swooned.
Hast thou no wound?

No wound? No scar?
Yet, as the Master shall the servant be,
And pierced are the feet that follow Me.
But thine are whole; can he have followed far
Who hast no wound or scar?

By Amy Carmichael

Decision of the day: The digital camera purchase may be closer than I thought a month ago. As much as film developing costs, a digital camera will pay itself off in no time.

Memory of the day: The delicious sweet corn supper from last night. Twenty quarts in the freezer. Boy, do we feel virtuous?!
