This is NOT a post....

Holding to my three posts per week during Lent schedule (torture), I only dropped in to tell you we'll meet again tomorrow.

To keep you amused while I'm away, drop over and read ............

Memo to America's Irresponsible Tea Party Whiners: STFU

It had me rolling on the floor with tears leaking happily from my big brown eyes

I'd wish you Happy First Friday but that might make it seem like a post (which it most assuredly is not), so I won't.

First Friday

****Join with others in being imitators of me, brothers, and observe those who thus conduct themselves according to the model you have in us.

For many, as I have often told you and now tell you even in tears, conduct themselves as enemies of the cross of Christ.

Their end is destruction. Their God is their stomach; their glory is in their "shame." Their minds are occupied with earthly things.

But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we also await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

He will change our lowly body to conform with his glorified body by the power that enables him also to bring all things into subjection to himself * *Phillipians 3:17

*

*****Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, beloved. ** Phillipians 4:1
