TODAY’S QUOTE
Hope... is the companion of power, and the mother of success for who so hopes has within him the gift of miracles
Samuel Smiles
IT’S TUESDAY !!
Our trees are still green but today is the first day of September and that always means fall has arrived to me. Our temps the past few days are saying fall will soon be here too! It was only 47 degrees when I got to work yesterday morning. This morning should be about the same but they say it will warm up to about 73 by this afternoon.
The long range forecast says it will be back up to 80 by Friday and for a change the weather is going to be mostly sunny to partly cloudy with no rain in sight. It looks like we’ll be having great weather for the Labor Day weekend.
My house has cooled right down and I’m thinking about putting the flannel sheets back on my bed. I really don’t like to be chilly at all. I guess I should wait til after the coming weekend and see how it is after that.
We’ll see…
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY’S SMILE
A man was sleeping soundly when his wife shook him and said,
Wake up, someone is breaking in!
The man had gone through this same scenario almost every night of his marriage, and he knew that the only way he would get any rest was to get up and go check it out.
This time, however, he found that there really was a man with a gun who entered to rob the house! As the thief was about to flee the man said,
Stop! You have to come with me and meet my wife.
Surprised, the thief turned around abruptly and said,
Why would you want ME to meet your wife?
The man replied, She’s been expecting you for 20 years!
TODAY’S REFLECTION
A man who bears false witness against his neighbor is like a club, a sword, and a sharp arrow
Proverbs 25:18
My Name Is Gossip. . . . I have no respect for justice. . . . I maim without killing. . . . I break hearts and ruin lives. . . . I am cunning and malicious and gather strength with age.The more I am quoted the more I am believed. . . . I flourish at every level of society.My victims are helpless. . . . They cannot protect themselves against me because I have no name and no face. . . . To track me down is impossible. . . . The harder you try, the more elusive I become. . . . I am nobody’s friend.Once I tarnish a reputation it is never the same. . . . I topple governments. . . . I ruin marriages. . . . I end ministries set up by God. . . . I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights. . . . I cause heartache and indigestion. . . . I spawn suspicion and generate grief.I make innocent people cry in their pillows. . . . Even my name hisses. . . . I AM CALLED GOSSIP. . . . Church gossip. . . . Office gossip. . . . Shop gossip. . . . Party gossip. . . . Telephone gossip. . . . Online gossip. . . . Before You Repeat A Story, Ask Yourself. . . . Is It True?Is It Fair?Is It Necessary?Would I Want It Said About Me?
