Caveat Emptor

In The Last Days...

 

 

 

 

But you must remember,

 beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers,

following their own ungodly passions.”

It is these who cause divisions, worldly people,

devoid of the Spirit.

But you, beloved,

 building yourselves up in your most holy faith

and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God,

waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.

 

Jude 1:17-23

Keep It Pure

 

 

The creator has placed in each of us special gifts.

The gifts that you have are not just for you.

Seek them out, grow with them and share them with others.

 

 But, most of all keep them pure.

Ok ...and the pastries 

 

I like that the tables are set up so you have to meet and talk to different people.

After a warm conversation we find out that the lad in the middle is the grandmother of Jet's lineman

Constitution Day

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
