Notes From The Prairie

As we go through these hot and humid days of summer....perhaps this picture will help! This was sent to me by my sister in law. Today as I drive to work, in my "unairconditioned" car....I will think of this picture! Of course, packing myself in ice might help too!

This is my friends dog, who just recently passed on. She said he was such a loving companion, whom she will greatly miss. I believe with all my heart, we will see our little buddies again in Heaven. I bet they will be one of the first to greet us! We will see you again Bear!

Many years ago, I heard a preacher preach on this very thing..."COMFORT ZONES". He said that if we are in a comfort zone, we're in a place where we can't grow in the Lord. Growth comes from going through circumstances that are down right painful. They are filled with people who accuse us, attack us, and if they could...leave us for dead.  Usually these people are like this because they see us as a threat. A threat only because they instinctively know that we would never condone their actions against other people. Those who do things maliciously to others, always are very good at covering up their tracks and...
